Overview
About Me
I love to meet new people, I find that having new and interesting people who have tales from their journeys a pleasure to host and I will gladly learn about the world from you and maybe I can show you a little bit about my home country in return :) I'm a level 5 Google guide, I know Nairobi very well, the country in general pretty well (how to get about and what to do) and I can often spare time to show you around the museums of Kenya where I volunteer :) currently working in a village in Homa Bay though, so links to Uganda and Tanzania are welcome, and I could guide you to the islands and parks around
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
