Hello everyone;
I'm a Canadian missionary who has travelled to kenya and married a Kenyan last year, and will be joining his once again in Feb/Mar.2011, and planning on staying for good with him and my son in MOmbasa. I am a little bit nervous and scared, but I guess that is normal. Looking to make new friends soon. I also am excited to be joining my husband in 93 days of course, but going from Canada to Africa will be a huge adjustment even tho I've ben to Nairobi and Mombasa 3x already.
I also will be living with him in Mshomoroni, some little 'town' outside of Mombasa, and I will have my own money for awhile, and has anyone else married a Kenyan and stayed there with their spouse. I would like to know more about health insurance for ex-pats. And whats available to ex-pats even tho they are married to a local, and will I be still considered 'ex-pat' despite me marrying a local?
The shots are up to date, and I already know what to expect-pit latrines, not much privacy, etc etc, but I also am going as a full time missionary, and whatever can fit into our suitcases is all I am taking.
I love Kenya, its culture, its people, its food, and more importantly my own husband, but in some ways, I am also nervous, and good Lord I hope that is normal. LOL.
