Hey there! I’m Teresa (but you can call me Chosen), a free-spirited soul with an adventurous heart and a calm, joyful vibe. I love good conversation, deep laughter, and stories that make the world feel smaller and kinder.

I’m that talkative foodie who’ll try anything once (as long as it smells nice 😄), and I believe the best way to know a place is through its people, their faith, their food, and their laughter.

I enjoy quiet mornings with coffee and evening walks filled with meaning. I’m an encourager at heart, someone who believes that kindness, respect, and faith can turn strangers into family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe the world was never meant to be experienced alone.
Couchsurfing, to me, isn’t just about finding a couch, it’s about finding connection. I want to meet people from all walks of life, share culture, faith, and a few home-cooked meals, and maybe learn something new from every encounter.

When I host, I make sure my guests feel welcome and safe, like they’re part of the family.
When I travel, I come with gratitude, curiosity, and an open mind (and probably a few snacks to share 😅).

Interests

I’m a lover of stories, whether they’re told through culture, faith, food, or music. I enjoy deep conversations that turn strangers into friends and laughter that echoes longer than words.
I’m drawn to new experiences: trying local dishes, exploring hidden gems, and learning traditions that make every culture beautiful.
Adventure fills my heart, but so does peace, I love a good movie night as much as a spontaneous road trip.

Music, Movies, and Books

My playlist is a mix of soulful worship, African rhythm, and anything that tells a story.

I enjoy heartwarming movies, the kind that make you laugh, cry, and think.

When it comes to books, I love anything inspiring: faith-based reads, poetry, and stories that explore the beauty of resilience and love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once turned a tough season of my life into a testimony, found peace where pain tried to stay. That, to me, is the most amazing thing: rising with joy after the storm.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching simple things about my culture, a few words in Swahili, and the beauty of faith that shapes my everyday life.

I’m eager to learn about other people’s worlds, their music, beliefs, and the way they see life.

And I’m always ready to share laughter, encouragement, and good food, because life is lighter when we carry it together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, genuine conversation, and a peaceful presence.
I can cook a few delicious Kenyan dishes (I’m always ready to make something tasty and share stories over food 🍲).
I help where I can, cleaning up, sharing laughs, bringing joy and calm energy into any home.
Mostly, I bring gratitude, because every act of hospitality is a gift, and I never take that lightly.
