I'm Waswa! I will also respond if you shout Chebet. ;-) I live in Nairobi and make maps to sustain myself. I love nature. My ancestors lived on either side of Mt. Elgon I guess it might be why I love hiking and nature trails. I'm the person who will erupt into loud laughter for the silliest joke. I advocate for reducing, reusing and recycling. No straws for me.

I am a mother to an awesome daughter and I take that seriously. Children are a blessing.

I have not travelled as much as I would like.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new at this. Although through my very good friend Joe, I have interacted with numerous couch suffers. I hope to host at one point especially since my work schedule limits my free time.

Interests

• dancing
• boardgames
• hiking in nature

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything goes except for rock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a mother. I know it is cliche but hey, works for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Resource mapping. Give me an environmental problem, we will brainstorm on how to show three critical things, Origin of the problem, the status of the problem, how GIS can help solve it.
