Hi, I'm Tess! I'm an ESL teacher, political activist, and lover of good wine and meaningful conversations. I’ve spent years traveling in Southeast and South Asia, learning languages like Chinese and Vietnamese, and enjoying cultural exchanges. Now based in Mombasa Kenya I still have a passion for connecting with people from all walks of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have been hosted a couple of times especially when i travelled in South East Asia, and I have also hosted a few people at my place..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I believe in the power of community and shared experiences. Couchsurfing is an amazing way to meet new friends, share stories, and experience places from a local’s perspective. Whether it’s a cup of coffee or a wine chat, I’d love to connect!
