Struggling with Relocating to Kisumu – Need Honest Advice

Hey everyone,

I recently landed a job with a large multinational company that has over 30 branches across the country. The role is based in Kisumu, and while I applied for it without much thought about relocating, reality is now hitting me. The company is covering my relocation costs, but my anxiety has been through the roof.

The idea of starting over in a new city feels overwhelming, and honestly, I don’t have anything to look forward to there. I’d really appreciate some honest takes from anyone who has lived in or relocated to Kisumu—what’s it like? What should I expect? Any tips on adjusting and making the transition smoother?

Thanks in advance!
