About Me

Been living in Kenya for about 1 year now designing and building efficient cookstoves. Big fan of traveling around, meeting all sorts of new people, and getting off the beaten path. Will never turn down a cold one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just heard of couchsurfing and it seems like a great resource to explore new places and meet new friends. Its always better to get a more local perspective of places traveled and this seems like a fantastic way to do that.

Also, other surfers should feel free to contact me as a host. I live out in the sticks, but if you're looking to stay near Ruiru town my place will be as good as any. (See additional info under the my house section).

Looking forward to making many new friends!
