Hi,,,,I’m Eugene Kirui, a passionate Travel & Cultural Exchange Host based in Nairobi. I love meeting new people from all over the world and sharing experiences about local life, culture, and traditions. I have a background in Community Health & Human Interaction, which has taught me how to connect with people, understand different lifestyles, and create a safe and welcoming space for guests.
Whether you’re here to explore the city, experience local cuisine, or just relax and enjoy some friendly conversation, I’m happy to help make your stay memorable. I enjoy learning about other cultures, exchanging stories, and introducing travelers to hidden gems in Nairobi that most tourists don’t see.
I believe that travel is all about connecting with people, building friendships, and creating experiences that last a lifetime. If you stay with me, you can expect a warm welcome, honest advice, and a genuine cultural exchange. Let’s share stories, laughter, and unforgettable experiences together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love connecting with people from all over the world. Travel, culture, and human stories fascinate me, and I believe the best way to experience a place is through its people. I enjoy sharing experiences, learning from others, and creating friendships that go beyond borders.
Being part of this community gives me the chance to welcome travelers into my home, show them the real Kenya, and exchange stories, ideas, and laughter. For me, Couchsurfing is about friendship, cultural exchange, and making every travel experience meaningful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once hosted travelers from multiple countries in my home and organized a week-long cultural exchange across Kenya, including visits to local communities, wildlife spots, and traditional festivals. By the end of the trip, we all shared stories, meals, and experiences that created friendships lasting far beyond their visit. It was incredible to see how travel and cultural exchange can truly connect
