Marie Burrell (@maluburrell)

Hi, I’m Marie. After 13 years in New York City, two kids, and one corporate climb, my family and I chose a different kind of life. We left the US to build something slower, freer, and more intentional in Nairobi.

This channel is our real journey. Not the curated version.

You’ll see what it feels like to outgrow a life you once loved, why we walked away from the rhythm of New York, and how we’re rebuilding as a mixed family abroad. I share the chaos of moving with kids, first impressions of Nairobi, parenting shifts, community, cost of living, safety, and the small everyday moments that make a new country feel like home.

If you’ve been craving something different too, you’re not alone.
Welcome to From NY to Nairobi.
