 Happy Holidays! It's Christmas season and this is my first Christmas away from my family in Kenya and also my first Christmas season in America but I'm not going to be spending Christmas here. I'm taking a flight, I'm heading straight to Ghana because for the very first time I'm gonna be spending Christmas with my new husband but he has no idea so it's all a surprise. I'm so excited. This is gonna be crazy. Oh my goodness. Let me tell you guys something. Sleep is underrated. Yo I can't even express how I feel right now. I feel like sleep is a medicine on its own. Resting is everything so yeah no matter how much you're busy, no matter how busy you are in everything that you do, take some time off and rest. I mean take some time off and sleep. I'm speaking for my experience man. I felt so weak. I felt so tired. I felt like I was carrying a burden because I was going up and down up and down without resting but you know what like I told you guys earlier my wife is in America. I was supposed to join her. I got my ticket and everything. I was just looking at my ticket and I was like you know what I'm so sorry man. I cannot sit in the plane for 11 good hours and then arrive, go for meetings and return back today. It's it's it's it's it's impossible man. It's impossible man. Like the festive season is here already. What are your plans? What are you doing? Are you gonna spend time in the village? Are you gonna spend time in the city? Are you gonna see your friends and family? Listen just let me know and tell me your plans for this festive season. I told you guys for me I think I need to go see my mom every Christmas. That's what I always do but this time around I think I'll go see my mom for a few days and fly to Kenya to also go see my father-in-law. It is what it is man. I'm now a married man so the way I used to do things needs to change right so few days with my mom few days with Trudy's dad and yeah I will start the year very well this time around. Let's say next year you guys are not ready for me man. Next year the plans that I have for you guys I think most of you will be like Maya we are so tired of you right now. No I know you won't get tired because next year is gonna be back-to-back. Next year will be an amazing year. I mean this year was a bit tight, this year was a bit tough, this year was a bit rough, this year was a bit slow but if we have life we just need to thank God. I told you guys earlier I just want to chill with you guys I'm not gonna do anything extraordinary just wanna I mean vlog have a conversation with you guys so the year ends so I'll be bringing you guys videos from now to 21st December and then first January we'll kickstart the Africa to the world journey from one country to another and next year will also bring you videos from the Caribbean but you know what I'm gonna do today let me tell you guys something there's a plane right there right but that's not my wife though my wife is actually landing in Ghana today but she decided to surprise me she didn't want me to know that she's actually arriving today this is what you get when you marry a lifestyle content creator like for her I mean everything has to be content everything has to be unique everything has to be a surprise and all of that yeah I'm good with that but I don't think she's so good with that I am not a lifestyle content creator but I love surprises and I can pull up a surprise without you even knowing that I'm pulling up a surprise on you so you know what she did our ticket to the US Washington we're supposed to go to California today but because I did not make it I just got a call that hey the California meeting has been cancelled if you've been watching my channel and you thought that I would spend Christmas in the US you are so wrong and I'm so excited because Maya has no idea I'm going to surprise him first of all I was supposed to stay longer and then so which means my wife needs to return to Ghana to the 3 p.m. I've been trying to call her she's not picking up my calls the calls are not going through so all I did was went online checked if she bought the plane she bought the plane and I need to check where she is she's on her way almost like I think it's 1 34 right now she'll be in Ghana around 3 30 but to her I think she wants to surprise me I know I know I know 3d is a big fan of pulling up surprises so yeah they were explained you know classes the shortest period I've ever spent in the US actually come for a month or two so this was a very short time so I think he believes it because I should expect a lot of things when I tell him I've changed the state so I think I'm going to get him real good you want to surprise me right but I also want to pull up a surprise on you so you know what I'm gonna do I wanted to go to the airport to pick up but it seems she has her own plan of coming to the house but for me I'm okay so what I'm gonna do is like probably I know she's coming she'll be tired she needs to eat just a vlog a day with you guys maybe just go in there go buy some food stuffs come and cook a special meal 3d love one particular Ghana food which is chicken still with cabbages one of the meals that 3d loves in Ghana and if you don't have cabbages maybe if you get Contomere I don't think I can get Contomere right now so I'm just gonna use um yeah I've been chicken with Kabe just to cook some tea for her as soon as she learns for me for her to know that I know that she's coming yeah so I'm gonna cook with you I don't know whatever's gonna happen go into the market right now to go do some shopping so come along with me I don't know whatever's gonna happen this is just a random video that I'm just doing just to usher you all into the Christmas festive season what I'm boring you with interviews and all of that it's just me myself and I and probably yeah my wife having found which you all so yeah come along let me just go to the house go get a bike when I got to the market it started raining so I had to just go change the position that I park my bike so hey oh my goodness I left my phone you see why I put my phone right over here and I left it because I'm gonna pay everything with my phone so yeah let me just go get the vegetables that I'm supposed to get in the screen so what are we gonna do I really like just sitting and enjoying I was given this book with Maya it's called attitude is everything I've been reading it slowly slowly slowly I don't know about you guys but I prefer listening to audiobooks compared to reading but I get the fascination about reading because when you're reading your mind is taken to a whole other place you're so focused you know I'll give you guys posted as we go guys are still boarding and then you're gonna head out I'm so excited oh by the way wow they didn't take mobile money oh my goodness I told everyone in Ghana accept mobile money you have mobile money here I don't know but these guys don't accept mobile money how oh my goodness thank God you came out I've gone back just veggies man time go I made the glow along the way okay so let me talk to you guys veggies I want to go to Montesson I want to go to the place that I normally buy chicken So I had to buy some more like a smoked fish. I'm going to use smoked fish instead of chicken. I know she likes that fish more than chicken by the way. I think I got almost everything. I think the only thing that I couldn't buy was chicken. So I bought my cabbage when men go to the market. I don't know what to buy man, but I think I bought something. I bought two mattresses because we have pepper in the house. We have onion in the house. I bought the salmon already. So yeah. Oh! We don't have rice man. Geez! I mean we don't have to sell them all money. What do I do now? Maybe I should buy some beef and then fry the onions with it. That would be very tasty man. Let me try that one. Because we have beef. I mean beef, normal beef and it's a bit oily. One is one. One is one city. Can I have two cities? It's a one-one city right? Yeah. That's my two cities. Two. Oh two? I didn't see. They don't take mobile money in here. So I need to go to another place to make sure I get rice man. Because I got nothing in the house because my wife is not around. For me, I wake up, I buy food. I'm good. But you know you need to make your wife's special right? So I need to cook her favourite meal for her today. Come along and come and enjoy Chef Maya's cooking. For the first time. I can't believe that I have to go and cook man. It's only love that will make you do stuff like this. But don't worry, I'll watch football whilst cooking. But I hope this people can take mobile money. Finally, I need to buy the rice. Finally I got somebody. Put your rice back in there. Yeah, where is it? In front. Let's go play for a minute. Stop going to the market with a bicycle. This is one of the best walk-ups ever. Yeah, the walk-up is just for messy. It's just for messy. You've seen them. They want to buy this walk-up for messy but they are not winning. That's not a win. Now it's time for the anthem of France. Which team are you supporting? France or Argentina? Yeah! That's not the main motif. I just wanted to see Marpy. Anyway, it's time. Yo, one thing that you see about the France national team. The African diaspora. Yo, if you are an African diaspora, if you are an African diaspora, know that France is playing this match for you. But hey, I'm going to finish my assignment. I need to cook for my wife. My wife is almost here. So I'll be watching football, but at the same time cooking. Whoa! 15 hours later, I finally made it to Ghana. Fellow Ghanians, I am back home. Your wife is here. So this is Maya's friend. The guy I told you would be coming for me at the airport. His name is Viglo and he's just awesome. I was not expecting Argentina to win, but this is the best final ever. Congratulations Argentina. Congratulations Macy man. Whoa! Really wanted France to win. Really wanted Mbappe to win, but... Yeah! It's 5.58 and Trudy is still not here. You know why? Her flight was delayed. I just tracked the flight. So she actually arrived. She just left. So she tested me. Oh, I'm sleeping. I was sleeping. I didn't see your call. I'm like, okay, no worries. I know you are coming. Sorry man. I was making all the noise. Now he's quiet. Everyone is quiet man. That was a good final bro. Just, I mean, like I said, let the best team win man. I was supporting France, but listen, Argentina deserves this man. They deserve it. What about it? Macy can win in it. Let me switch off the light. Good. I saw a car. Go up and look at it. Okay. So, how does she expect to come to the house with a car in like that? What I've been knowing that it's easy. Is that not crazy? I don't know that she's coming. That's the best. You wanted to surprise me, eh? Yeah. I didn't know you're filming this. Expect to be in plane for 11 hours for me not to check up on you. How do you want to do that babe? Don't forget I have your tickets. So, you wanted to do one. You wanted to surprise me. I guess it's difficult to surprise Maya. Babe. It's difficult. You know, I love you so much that two hours, three hours, I've not heard from you. Babe. Come on. So, you wanted to pull up a surprise? Yeah, I did. But I've given up. I've given up on surprising you. I have so much surprise for you. Have you eaten now? Oh, you surprised me. Jeez, okay. What are the surprises you have for me? So, I've got surprise for you babe. I'm bringing it up, okay? Okay. Cold. You still feel cold? No, no, no. You met the president of Ghana. It's God, it's God. That's incredible man. That's the highlight of your whole trip. It is definitely. And I don't think he's the only person you met. No, no, no. Who else did you meet? I could say three presidents but I'm going to say two. The ones who I talked to were two. The ones who I met saw a three. The Kenyan president, I saw him. Almost. I met him but I didn't say, I didn't greet him. The president of Sierra Leone. Okay. We met him, we talked. He was having a meeting with Mr. Muale and his team and you know, I work with Mr. Muale so it was such a privilege that Mr. Muale was able to meet these people. Also the president of Ghana. Oh, that was the highlight. Welcome back home. Thank you, babes. I missed you. I cook your best meal for you, right? What's that? What's your best meal? My best meal, contemporary. I said it but I don't eat red oil for now. I already guessed my best meal. Guess what I have to replace with a contemporary? Jalof. Fried rice. No, babe, come on. So, contemporary. If there is no contemporary what is all the vegetable it's going to put in there? Cassava. Cassava leaves. Come on. Contemporary. I told them that's your favorite meal. If you don't know it's now it's like it's not. Babe, it's cassava leaves. Bayle. Jalof. Cheese. What is it? I'm going to bring the footage. She doesn't like it. It's okay. I guess probably it's my own favorite. Not hers.
