I come from everywhere (that's N.Y.C.) & no where. I like to keep my head up despite the odds & situation dictates. I believe that human beings are meant to love & that we just don't run well on much else. I have over 11 years of post secondary education from the West & three degree certificates to show for it but not much more else. I met & married my first chosen bride on Zanzibar, TZ almost 7 years ago we have had to live apart for five of those years, because of we chose to live on the African Continent. But I cannot figure out a way to earn $ to be allowed to live there with my family longer term. I come to this forum for helpful guidance. I've made it as far as Germany.
I joined expat.com on 17 May 2016.

It's clean and relatively safe. Low crime. Most everything is so green.
The weather is cold and grey skies. Continually so, indoors.
Language & Culture of Swahili people continued independent study abroad.
Just about Everything! - The good fresh healthy diet, low stress way of living, beautiful dark brown skinned Swahili Muslim people. One of whom did marry me that time. Being back with the person who life showed me the living representation of a beautiful soul & beautiful person.
Malaria, the monsoonal rains & that water and electricity utilities are poor and intermittent. That people really are not all that different throughout the world. Not able to locate a company to get work for more permanent type of official permission to reside there with my new Tanzanian family.

Just about Everything! - The good fresh healthy food diet, low stress way of living, beautiful dark brown skinned Swahili Muslim people. One of whom agreed to (and did) marry me. Not so much fuss hardly ever a fight.

Poor Graduate University Student.
I guess I liked the illusion of freedom of choice & meeting so many different people from Africa there. That one Chinese restaurant on Santa Monica Boulevard just before Sepulveda served good rice noodles.
It is ridiculously expensive to live in California & since Hollywood is in So. CAL., so many people there are trying to be that which they are not.
