Hello and welcome to my Couchsurfing profile! 🌍🤍
My name is Shiraz, I’m 20 years old, and I currently live in Mombasa, Kenya 🇰🇪🌊. I’m a Muslim, a friendly, open-minded, and welcoming person who truly enjoys meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds.
I’m happy to host travelers from any country, any gender, and any walk of life, as long as there is mutual respect and good energy. Kenya is a beautiful country with rich culture, history, food, nature, and warm people, and I’m always proud to share the experience of our motherland with visitors 🌴🦁✨.
I speak English (fluent) and Swahili (fluent), and I’m currently learning Spanish 🇪🇸—so feel free to practice with me if you like! I enjoy sports and outdoor activities such as basketball 🏀, volleyball 🏐, football ⚽, and I love adventures and exploring new places 🏞️🚶‍♂️.
I’m also glad to offer guidance if you’re interested—whether it’s helping you understand local culture, showing you around, recommending places to visit, or just sharing everyday life experiences in Kenya. My goal is for every guest to feel safe, comfortable, respected, and truly welcome during their stay.
I’m a simple and genuine person. My personal background is that I’m Kikuyu, and in our traditions, we are taught to welcome visitors with open arms and kindness 🤝🏾. Because of this, I host with no hesitation and always do my best to receive guests with respect, warmth, and a sincere welcome.
If you’re planning to visit Kenya or pass through Mombasa, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to connect, host, and share stories together. Karibu sana! 😊🇰🇪
