About Me

I live in a samll rondavel style house in Kenya near the coast, It sits on 4 acres of land and I have 4 dogs and 7 cats, two goats and 3 chickens. I am starting to produce honey and have a lot of fruit trees....mango, paw paw, banana, coconut and passion fruit vines. I have a little boy of 9 and who lives with me and home schools.
The area we live in is quite remote although you can get to the beach in 30 minutes by car. I am surrounded by Dhuruma farmers who love off their land.
I would like writing and I make jewellery .
I welcome you if you are feeling adventurous.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think I will enjoy the company and I think it would be a great experience for the visitor and also for the village I live in to see other people. I want to open the hidden world of Kenya up to anyone interested in seeing places outside the glamorous tourist areas.

Interests

  • walking
  • crafts
  • reading
  • knitting

Music, Movies, and Books

Midnight´s Children and Harry Potter come to mind but there are thousands.
As far as films go, High Heels, a french on I can´t remember the name of which has the temperature of a woman when she is pregnant in the title.
At the moment I love Kenyan music but Joan Armatrading is my all time favourite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had a baby.
