About Me

Hey, if you want to experience something different, and make a difference please speak to me :)
We are based in the outskirts of Mombasa, town called Mtwapa. Its worth the visit ..... it will open your eyes.... lol.
You will have great accommodations and quality local food but there is a catch ....we require you to make the special children smile.
This is the largest disable school in Africa with over 800 kids and we want to bring long term positive changes to the school and society.
We looking for anyone that has integrity and any skills to come join the positive army and at the end of the day you can chill in the pool.
So how does that sound!
Check it out on Facebook @sssangels

CURRENT MISSION

Truly focused on making change in the largest disable school in Africa and maybe the world.
The last 3 years I’ve been on a healing journey for body, mind and soul and now it’s time to heal others.

Do you have time? Do you have integrity? Do you want to make an impact to these wonderful special children?

ABOUT ME

Currently I’m in Kenya, came for a wedding and then ended up marrying 850 special children.
I’m on a long life changing journey which started Nov 2015. Lost 37 kg in 7 months and gained 25kg in 2 month through diet and mediation going through a cleanse of my life and I am blessed to have found this path and grateful that I am able to follow it.
After coming back from travelling 5 years ago I had triggered off an illness and left it to the "doctors" to give me the best solution - how wrong I was! I went back to busy London and after time found myself fall in the trap of work and stress as a consultant.
As the illness was not really taken care of and just given drugs to hide it momentary that and stress and lifestyle lead to it getting worse and eventually the doctors saying the only solution is to do surgery back in November 2015.
Ever since then I have not looked back, I decided to take it in my own hands and I seeker for nature healers and that's lead me to Thailand - the country and its people are most beautiful, wonderful and warm I have met. I believe the mix of eastern and western lifestyle is a healer and that's why I'm here :).

Cut the long story short, I'm searching for a peaceful, joyful and loving home that would love to have another family member.

Dev Hirani is almost always a big smile, finding his way about on this worldtour he is doing with curiosity and a joke up his sleeve. After having worked, worked worked untill sick of it back in England he then decided to discover the world and see whats out there for him. I, Erika Oldberg, found him in the Isla Margarita and we chilled together. I totally recommend you to spend some time and get to know him, since he is a truly sweet and generous person.
Erika a lovely lady from sweden wrote me this profile as it took me ages to write about myself and i never ever finished it off and i think its always better to have someelse write about yourself as it brings out all the colours(good and bad). Cheers Erika.

PHILOSOPHY

let us talk about this when we meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking to get to know people on the destinations I visit, someone to hang out with, someone to show me the local treasures, teach me the best local drinks, the best beaches and help me avoid the worst gringotraps. In exchange I will make you laught and if you want to I can go on and on with stories from my long journey. If someone wants to give me a place to sleep for the night that is an extra plus, but in the first place I am looking to get to know people and get the true experience and understanding of the places I visit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Let's meet up for a beer or a coffee to see which parts you would like to know.
8 months i have visited (in order)- Kenya(Great time with family), Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand(Beautiful place for all ages), Cambodia(a must see Ankor Wat), Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, South Africa(Wow Cape Town is the most beauiful city in the world), Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia(spent a great 1.5 months and really had a great time with the country and the people), venezuela and ... your place next?

Teach, Learn, Share

I share my lousy jokes with anyone who like to listen. What I would like to learn is for example outdoor sports, knowledge about the places I visit. More imporatant apart from sharing a beer is: anything that is going to make me a more complete, better person.
