My Travel Story

Hello!
My family and I are so excited about this journey 
We have been thinking of doing this since last year 2023  We finally decided to make the jump. 
I'm 29 and my husband is 30. Young couple. We have been together for 10 years soon. We couldn't ask for a greater love. We wanting to explore life. We see the way the economy is going and wanted to take off. We have a baby girl she is 19 months she was born 2022. And now we have a beautiful baby boy on the way. The best of both worlds.  
By the most high we where able to tackle most of the hurdles in this Transition. Unfortunately me being laid off last year and finding out im pregnant but a damper on our journey but we pushing. We paid out of pocket and was able to tackle some stuff

We got our plane ticket. And passport done. But we still have to pay off the rest of our plane ticket. We used alternate airline. 
We was able to connect with someone to help find a place down there and got an apartment.  We was hoping to pay off the lease for the year but that took a turn.  So we are saving up more for the rest of the months but its hard. He's the only one working for now. 

We got some furniture for the apartment but not quite everything 

And the biggest thing is saving up for hospital expenses to give birth. 

They don't give insurance in the first year so I will have to find a way to Pay for that. 

We plan of doing a road trip on the 8 to drive to NJ to get to the airport.  For our journey. We are leaving from Florida so this will be a long roadtrip.  My husband sold his car and hoping to find a one way rental to use for our road trip to get to our destination. 
There is so much more in-between that will take ne days to wrote. Buy that is a brief summary of our journey so far :)
In the heart of our family's narrative lies a tale of boundless love, fearless leaps, and the embrace of new beginnings. As we stand on the precipice of change, Kenya beckons with promises of adventure. With a baby boy soon to join our ranks, our journey becomes an odyssey of shared dreams and uncharted paths.It's more than relocation; it's a testament to resilience, to the belief that every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Through your support, you become a vital chapter in our story—a story of community, cultural exploration, and the unwavering pursuit of a life less ordinary. Join us as we script this chapter of love, courage, and the magic that unfolds when hearts beat as one.
