She Moved From New York to Kenya—What Her Beachfront Life Costs

#usa from New York to Kenya: Her $750/Month Beachfront Apartment Tour

From New York to a $750-a-month beachfront apartment in Kenya—how does Kiana fund her life, and what brought her to East Africa?

In this Webnation Africa documentary, the American tech professional shares how a devastating car accident forced her to learn to walk again and rethink the life she wanted. Today, she works remotely from Kenya’s coast while building a community connecting diaspora professionals with career opportunities and a deeper connection to Africa.

We tour her beachfront studio in Nyali, Mombasa, explore its amenities, and discuss her reported monthly spending on rent, groceries, eating out, transport and electricity. Kiana also explains how product consulting, her membership community and brand partnerships help fund her lifestyle.

But this story goes beyond affordable coastal living. She discusses Kenya’s tech ecosystem, the responsibilities of moving into a local community, infrastructure challenges, and her ambition to connect African history with education through a video game.
