Kelvin made these remarks while sharing how he celebrated this year's Valentine's Day, which fell on Friday, February 14, 2025.

He said while many of his peers back home in Ghana went out to mark the day with their loved ones, he was out in the cold hustling to pay his bills.

The Ghanaian man further suggested that he regrets leaving the shores of Ghana to seek greener pastures overseas.

"I miss home, home sweet home. Life abroad is boring. On Valentine's Day, Ghanaians at home celebrated, but those of us here did not. Abroad is boring; we are always working. If knew this was the life abroad; I would have stayed in Ghana," he said.

Kelvin recently took to TikTok to express gratitude to God for enabling him to relocate abroad.

He likened traveling abroad to a calling, and stated that if God does not will it, one cannot travel, no matter how financially prepared they are.
