About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live with passion!

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Kenya (coast), lived in 3 different continents, 7 different schools, very well traveled, well cultured, adventures, driven and passionate.
I appreciate the smaller things in life. Good friends, genuine people, a smile from a stranger! Life is short.... Chase your dreams and always remember... You control your own happiness!!

Happy to host or meet other like-minded people who have a real zest for life. I can't always promise I can host at the minute due to work, but get in touch as ask! Can always make time for a few drinks and show people around a few cool fun places. Weekends I usually try and get out and do some sort of fun mini adventure, so get in touch!

PHILOSOPHY

Ideas create possibilities, actions create destiny!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailing around the Galápagos Islands, swimming with all the amazing species. The sheer number and variety of life forms both on land and in the water in the Galápagos is quite awe-inspiring.
