Swipe Right on Marmite 👀: A Kenyan’s take on London, British culture & British snacks

Kenya-born Sonaili moved to the UK for university, and settled in London for her Master’s in Journalism. But she didn’t want to move to London at first. In this video, she shares why a campus university felt like a better fit, the biggest cultural differences between Kenya and the UK, and the unexpected habits she’s picked up after nearly five years of living here. 🇬🇧🇰🇪
We also dive into British vs. Kenyan food, some British snack taste tests, and where to find the best Kenyan food in London. Plus, Sonaili reflects on the key differences between English and Kenyan people - from social norms to everyday life.
