He Married His Ugandan Childhood Pen Pal | Portu American in Kampala

Nathan grew up in Boston and has a family that came from Portugal to America and made the American dream. He became a business man himself, moving from Charlotte and back to Boston. He has always been taught the value in helping others, therefore his mother found him a Pen Pal program when he was a small boy. He always wrote letters back and forth with a Ugandan girl- and they lost contact after he turned 18.

Thank goodness to Facebook they were able to find each other and rekindle a romance. They live together happily in Kampala today.

  1. This was a great interview. He's so real. I would 100% be BFF's with this guy… Plus that whole tip about doing what you're best at…I definitely apply that at work, but I'm going to be more intentional about applying it in my personal life… And I agree.. hire movers!!!

  2. To be addicted on something so much might as well go back and enjoy it from the source, why leave. And the same phenom of decent (keyword) black amerikkkans suffering injustices, trauma, abuse, gross human rights violations, mass incarseration, endless police harassements, killings to name just a few in the satanic evil babylons and yet the ones who left dont give a rat ass about the plight of their own. Africa must'nt be a safe heaven for satanic evil racist filth who won't even admit to their wrongs when they moved there. How can asking for justice, truth and righeousness be vengence. Those needs to be sent back packing

  3. It was all well until you said "They call me MZUNGU" Really? Referring to what exactly? Or in what context? In Kenya the name MZUNGU clearly means a white person unless it's a nickname in which case it would mean an Uncle Tom. But looking at you Britney you could go to the most dangerous part of Kenya and still no one would tell you aren't a local and even with your accent still alot of Kenyan young people have the American accent btw mostly from studying in international schools. So I somewhat feel you like using isolated cases to make very general statements that clearly don't even make any sense… That point was noticeable because it would mean African Americans are considered Whites in Kenya?? I have two A.A I hosted back in 2019 in Kiambu road for over 6 months and none had any issues integrating with the locals, I think what you need to do is maybe get out of that Expat bubble and get some local friends because if you are hanging out around whites or Indians then someone might have called you a MZUNGU to mean an Uncle Tom.

  4. Most people now misuse the word Mzungu. Originally it derived from Roaming (Kuzunguka) Mzungu means some who goes round. Before colonization the livingstones and all the explorers went round and round thus Mzungu came about. Then we started using it to call white people that. “White people” are Watu Weupe.

  5. I love his positivity and outlook to life. He has great presence and self awareness. I love that he didn’t say one bad thing about Uganda!!Thanks for this Brittney, I’m rooting for you, things will open up and you will do great 💗

  6. He doesn't have a superiority complex.
    He lived in her one bedroom / outdoor latrine life.
    The kids are in regular Ugandan school
    He has friends that are local. You can tell when he speaks that he doesn't have an agenda. He is just living and thriving in Uganda.
    His parents did a great job. They must be really awesome people.

  7. Guys always just know which girl is the one I have heard that a million times even when I was in the military guys would tell me that they just knew whether it was at first sight, or a first date. Women also know I as well had a similar experience with my husband it wasn't auditable, but I saw him my husband turn a corner at our job, and something said that's my husband and for going on 27 years he has been. His concept on life is great do what your good at don't waste time on what you're not Lesson. Great fluid conversation.
