Hi! My name is Hilary, and I’m a friendly, respectful, and open-minded host based in Nairobi, Kenya. I enjoy meeting travelers from different parts of the world and believe that cultural exchange is one of the most meaningful parts of travel.

Hosting allows me to share the warmth, diversity, and vibrant energy of Nairobi—from its rich cultures and food to its everyday city life. I’m happy to offer local tips, guidance on getting around, safety advice, and recommendations for places to visit, whether you’re interested in nature, culture, nightlife, or simply exploring the city like a local.

I maintain a clean, calm, and organized home, and I value mutual respect, clear communication, and positive energy. I enjoy good conversations, sharing stories, and when time allows, helping guests experience Nairobi beyond the usual tourist spots.
I appreciate guests who are respectful, open-minded, and culturally curious. If you’re looking for a safe, relaxed place to stay and a genuine local connection in Nairobi, I’d be happy to host you and be part of your journey

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I enjoy cultural exchange and meaningful connections with people from different parts of the world. Hosting gives me the opportunity to share the real Nairobi experience, learn from others’ perspectives, and build friendships beyond borders.
For me, Couchsurfing is not just about accommodation—it’s about trust, respect, and shared experiences. I enjoy helping travelers feel welcome, offering local insights, and being part of their journey while also learning from their stories and cultures.
