About Me

Hey there, folks! Olive Mumbo here, the proud owner of a shiny new Master's Degree in Law, hailing from the plains of Kenya to the enchanting streets of Italy! And guess what? I've officially been admitted to the Kenyan bar – yep, I'm now a fully-fledged advocate of the High Court of Kenya, ready to bring some East African spice to the legal world!

But let's not get too serious now. Sure, I can argue a case like nobody's business, but I also know the importance of keeping life light and laughter-filled. So, when I'm not busy laying down the law, you'll find me exploring the winding alleys of Italian towns, attempting to order gelato in fluent Italian (spoiler alert: it's not as easy as it sounds), and charming locals with my tales of legal prowess and cultural mishaps.

So, whether you require legal advice, a good giggle, or just a buddy to share a pizza with, look no further! Olive Mumbo, a Kenyan lawyer turned Italian adventurer, is at your service. Let's make some memories – and maybe a few legal precedents along the way! 🍕💼

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, well, well, gather 'round, my dear friends, and let me regale you with the tale of why this Kenyan-turned-Italian legal eagle found herself on Couchsurfing – the ultimate adventure in hospitality and hilarity!

Picture this: a wanderlust-filled Aquarius, armed with a Master's Degree and a penchant for cultural exploration, sets foot in the land of pasta and passion – Italy! But alas, her pockets aren't exactly overflowing with euros, and her desire to experience the true essence of Italian life knows no bounds.

Enter Couchsurfing, the beacon of hope for budget-conscious travelers and social butterflies alike! With nothing but a backpack and a smile, I embarked on a journey to connect with locals, swap stories, and – let's be real – snag a free couch or two along the way.

From cozy nights spent sharing tales with a Sicilian nonna to navigating the chaotic charm of Roman streets with a newfound friend, Couchsurfing has been my ticket to unforgettable experiences and lifelong friendships. Sure, there have been a few quirky encounters and questionable sleeping arrangements, but isn't that what makes travel all the more exhilarating?

So, why am I on Couchsurfing, you ask? Because life's too short for impersonal hotel rooms and lonely wanderings. I'm here to soak up the hospitality of strangers turned friends, to laugh until my sides hurt, and to create memories that'll last a lifetime – one couch at a time! 🛋️✨

Music, Movies, and Books

Ah, the rhythm of life! Let's delve into the symphony of Olive Mumbo's entertainment preferences, shall we?

Music: From the smooth vibes of soft rock to the pulsating rhythms of African beats (hello, Nigerian jams!), I'm all about that eclectic mix. Soul, hip hop, R&B? Sign me up! And don't even get me started on Spanish tunes – there's just something about those fiery melodies that gets my hips swaying. Karaoke? Absolutely! Any excuse to belt out a tune and unleash my inner rockstar.

Movies: Variety is the spice of life, and I'm here for it all! Action-packed thrillers, toe-tapping musicals, mind-bending science fiction – you name it, I'm watching it. True stories? Bring 'em on! There's nothing quite like getting lost in the drama of real-life events unfolding on the big screen.

Series: Ah, Game of Thrones – the epic saga that stole the hearts (and heads) of millions. Count me among the devoted fans eagerly awaiting each new twist and turn in the quest for the Iron Throne. And if you're looking for something to keep me glued to the screen, Greys' Anatomy is my guilty pleasure prescription.

Books: Currently diving into the wealth of wisdom found in "Think and Grow Rich," but let's not forget my all-time favorite: "17 Principles of Success" by Napoleon Hill. This book is my roadmap to achieving greatness, filled with insights that never fail to inspire and motivate me.

And hey, geekiness is just another shade of awesome in my book! But fear not – I'm as socially adaptable as a chameleon, ready to vibe with anyone from fellow geeks to casual conversationalists. After all, life's too short to stick to just one groove, right? 🎶🎬📚

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ah, buckle up, because Olive Mumbo's life has been a rollercoaster of amazing adventures and achievements!

First off, let's talk about spreading those Kenyan wings and taking flight abroad. Traveling to distant lands, immersing myself in diverse cultures, and rubbing elbows with folks from all walks of life – now that's what I call living! From swapping stories with street vendors in Bangkok to salsa dancing with locals in Havana, each new encounter has been a precious gem in the mosaic of my global experiences.

But wait, there's more! How about flexing those legal muscles and putting pen to paper? That's right – before even tossing my graduation cap in the air, I've already penned several legal articles, with one even making its mark in the publishing world. Talk about hitting the ground running!

And speaking of graduation, let's not forget the crowning achievement – walking across that stage with my first Law Degree in hand. Years of hard work, late-night study sessions, and endless cups of coffee finally culminating in that triumphant moment of academic glory.

So, whether I'm jet-setting across continents, crafting legal masterpieces, or donning that cap and gown, one thing's for sure: Olive Mumbo is not just living life – she's conquering it, one amazing moment at a time! 🌍📝🎓

From the intricate rituals of Japanese tea ceremonies to the vibrant celebrations of Brazilian Carnival, there's always something new and fascinating to learn.

Share: Prepare yourself for a cultural exchange like no other! With my passport stamped and my heart open, I'm ready to share tales from the far corners of the globe. From the bustling markets of Nairobi to the serene vineyards of Tuscany, I've collected a wealth of experiences and insights just waiting to be shared.

And as for that terrible laugh of mine? Consider it a badge of honor – a testament to the joy and camaraderie that awaits when we come together to learn, laugh, and celebrate the richness of life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Oh, consider your taste buds in for a treat, my dear hosts!

From whipping up traditional Kenyan dishes bursting with flavor to infusing international recipes with my unique flair, cooking with me is not just about nourishing the body – it's about feeding the soul with laughter and love.

And as for cleaning? Well, let's just say I bring my special brand of adventure to the table. Who knew scrubbing pots and pans could be so entertaining? With a dash of humor and a pinch of enthusiasm, even the most mundane chores become a delightful experience worth sharing.
