Hi, I'm Mai! I'm passionate about people, culture, and creating meaningful connections. I work with care-experienced individuals in Uganda, helping to support their thriving in communities. I love meeting new people, exchanging stories, and learning about different cultures. I'm also a huge fan of football, Ugandan football and Liverpool to be specific and enjoy spending time with my foster children during the holidays.

My home is a bit outside the city, but it offers a beautiful view of Lake Victoria, with a quiet village atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding. I'm easygoing, friendly, and always up for a good conversation. Whether it's talking about life, culture, or just enjoying the peace and tranquility, I look forward to hosting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I love connecting with people from different parts of the world. It’s a great way to share stories, cultures, and experiences, while also offering a welcoming space for travelers. I believe that traveling is more than just visiting places—it's about the connections we make along the way. As a host, I’m excited to meet new friends, learn about their journeys, and offer a glimpse into life in Uganda, all while creating unforgettable memories together

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Giving you to thrilling things i have done , sorry not sorry , but I have to share.
One amazing thing I’ve done is go gorilla trekking in the jungles of Uganda. Coming face to face with these majestic creatures in their natural habitat was an unforgettable experience. The adventure of trekking through the wilderness and witnessing the beauty of the gorillas up close is something I’ll never forget. And another amazing thing I’ve done is visit Anfield Stadium, the home of Liverpool FC. As a huge soccer fan, being at Anfield and feeling the energy of the crowd, seeing the pitch, and walking through the legendary halls was a dream come true. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that still gives me chills!

I can teach you about life in Uganda, including our rich culture, traditions, and local language. If you're interested, I can also share insights into the work I do with care leavers, and how we support young people transitioning from institutional care. And, of course, if you're a soccer fan, I’d love to chat about the game!
I’m always eager to learn about new cultures, perspectives, and ways of life. Whether it's a new language, a unique recipe, or just your view of the world, I’m open to learning something new from everyone I meet.

I’m happy to share my knowledge of Uganda, the best places to visit, and a deeper understanding of our history and natural beauty—especially the stunning views of Lake Victoria! I can also share stories of my experiences in both community work and travel.
