Hello! My name is Sudney Makinya, and I’m an adventurous and open-minded traveler who loves exploring new cultures, meeting people from all walks of life, and creating meaningful connections along the way. I come from Mombasa, Kenya, where I’ve grown up surrounded by a multicultural community with a deep love for music and food. I’m passionate about photography, content creation, cooking, and learning new languages. These hobbies often shape my travels, as I love capturing beautiful landscapes, tasting local dishes, and exchanging recipes with people I meet.
Professionally, I am a recent graduate in actuarial science, but my heart belongs to exploring and understanding the world .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I believe in the magic of authentic connections. Staying with locals not only gives me a unique perspective on their city but also allows me to experience its true soul through their eyes. I want to exchange stories, learn about your traditions, and maybe even cook a meal together and I am grateful for this website.
