About Me

Left Japan 5 years ago, since then keep traveling around the world. I’ve been in 42 counties and 171 cities, and it was last October when I reached African Continent, where my heart be stolen. I came back to Nairobi this October, and rented a room to focus creating some craftwork. So now finally I’m ready to host the wanderlusts from the world🌍!
I have been hosted by amazing people everywhere in the world not only via CS. I do know the feelings of surfers and the beauty of meeting people by this coincidence. I made lots of great friends all over the world, so it’s time for me to pay back my huge appreciation to you:)

I’m not locals here, but I live (travel) like locals, that’s what I’ve been doing this 5 years. My friends here are mostly Kenyans hence I can link you up with real locals if you like. My housemate she is a gorgeous Kenyan lady, unfortunately she’s rarely here, but so that case you may most likely get a private room.
My place is very safe and convenient where has a security guards at gate 24/7. It’s a big 2LDK apartment, you will get what you normally need.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Visiting unknown land or seeing the great heritage and nature may a purpose for traveling, but what I'm actually heading for is always people whom I will see and connect with on the way to there.
Today we are living the era that is able to get any information or stories by two seconds, nevertheless, all I want to know is the true story which is told by a person in front of me :)

So yet I'm on the road over 5 years since I left Japan, and I will keep traveling to go to unknown and hopefully, I will get to know you and hear your story, somewhere in this world... 🌏
