About Me

I see life as an exciting journey filled with opportunities to learn, grow, and make unforgettable memories.

I love helping others feel welcome and at home, whether through good company, cultural exchange, or small gestures of kindness.

I’m always up for a good laugh, a great meal, or an inspiring adventure.

I enjoy discovering new cuisines, learning about different ways of life, and stepping outside my comfort zone to create lasting memories.

I believe in embracing every experience, being open to new adventures, and treating people with kindness because every interaction has the power to change your perspective.

I just recently joined the Couchsurfing platform.

That said, I’m no stranger to hosting travelers. Since early in 2018, I’ve hosted travelers from different parts of Europe through friend-to-friend recommendations from those I had previously welcomed.

Since I’ve always enjoyed meeting people from different cultures, I decided to expand my hosting experience to a global level by joining Couchsurfing.

I’m now open to hosting travelers from all over the world, and I plan to start welcoming guests here in Tanzania through couch surfing to build up my references.

Let’s connect and make each experience worthwhile!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of connecting with people from different cultures, sharing experiences, and seeing the world through a local’s perspective.

Traveling isn’t just about places, it’s about people, stories, and moments that make every journey unforgettable.

Let’s connect and make each experience worthwhile!

Interests

I’m passionate about travel, culture, and human connections. I enjoy exploring new places, trying different food cuisines, and learning from people with diverse backgrounds. When I’m not on the road, you’ll find me sleeping, listening to music, eating, taking a long hour shower, finding a perfect dress for outing, watching movie, watching Tv safari channel or local dramas or following sports especially soccer, and engaging myself in discussions about Humanitarian actions, volunteering, studying and seeking opportunities abroad, establishment of new investments, Business development and project planning.

Music, Movies, and Books

Vitamin music lifts my energy and sets the vibe, movies help me unwind, and books fill me with insight and inspiration, though I rarely read them unless it's a fun classroom session.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most incredible experiences of my life was leading a team of 16 International volunteers from Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, Scotland and Sheffield to train and empower over 260 marginalized youth in Tanzania’s Southern Highlands through the International Citizen Service (ICS) Livelihood Program under Raleigh International.

Witnessing these young individuals develop resilience and entrepreneurship skills, and then securing UKAid grants to help them start their own businesses, was truly life-changing. Seeing their confidence grow and their dreams take shape was unforgettable.

Beyond that, I actively contributed to the Green Growth Program, planting over 4750 trees in spring time to support environmental sustainability in Morogoro Region - Tanzania.

The moment we saw barren areas transform into green spaces was a powerful reminder of how small actions can create lasting change.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Whether it's great conversations, storytelling, or just some good laughs, I enjoy connecting with people.

I appreciate discussions, cultural diversity, and community engagement, making every interaction meaningful.

I enjoy cooking and sharing meals, especially introducing people to Tanzanian cuisine or experimenting with international dishes. If you like, we can cook together and exchange recipes from different cultures.

I’m also happy to help around the house, whether it’s cleaning, organizing, washing dishes, or even doing laundry. Keeping a space tidy and running smoothly is something I take pride in.

If you need a home sitter or pet sitter, I’m more than happy to take care of your space, look after pets, or even handle small farm activities like poultry farming and animal feeding. I can also help with basic pool care and upkeep.

I also have experience supporting children, assisting the elderly, and engaging in charitable initiatives.

For those interested in personal care, I can assist with relaxation techniques, light massages, and fashion styling, helping to put together looks that suit different personalities and occasions.

If you're curious about Tanzania and East Africa, I can offer travel tips and guidance on must-visit places, nature explorations and unique hidden gems.

I have knowledge of business and investment opportunities in Tanzania and East Africa, particularly in real estate, tourism, agriculture and entrepreneurship.

I can share insights into economic development and entrepreneurial opportunities for those interested in expanding their business reach.

I can teach Kiswahili, which is widely spoken in East Africa, and help you navigate the language if you ever plan to visit.

I enjoy sharing insights into Tanzanian culture, traditions, and history, giving you a deeper understanding of my country.

If you’re learning English, I can assist with conversation practice and language skills.

I look forward to learning from my hosts, building connections, and creating unforgettable experiences together to ensure a mutually enriching experience,
