Description
I am John, born and bred in Kenya. I hold a diploma in Tourism management, so feel free to ask for the best destination to be in Kenya or any other advice.
I am an open-minded, sunny optimistic and deeply curious guy who is always searching for new destinations to visit. I'm very interested in meeting other fascinating personalities, reflecting their view of life, cultural practice and the other funny fun part stories from their backyard 🌎
I love nature and outdoors. My natural spirit is one of adventure. I love the beach, nature, creating new network and clinking glasses with new friends in their mother language! I am keen on meeting new people with a great sense of humour to get the chance to laugh at myself - so let's meet up?

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
First am proud of our African culture, our beautiful wildlife and our cultural based languages which introduces you to our diverse culture.
Swahili is our country national language and not only in Kenya but the whole East Africa. The Swahili language, is basically of Bantu origin. It has borrowed words from other languages Such as Arabic, Indians etc.
Basically after the end of the stay you shall be able to tell how many tribes do we have in Kenya, how to cook (kenya) African food, how to dance to some Kenyan songs if interested, 😄 understand our way of living and cultural practices, help you learn our most common used Swahili words/phrases for visitors.
Help
No much help actually, but accompany and great vibes could be the greatest help.
Though i think most of the help shall be from my side so just relax and enjoy my world and our beautiful surrounding.
And i would like to learn foreign languages and am interested to learn and communicate in different languages and i will teach you back how to communicate through Swahili.

His flat is not big, so you will sleep on a mattress next to his bed but he does all in his power so that you feel at home. Together we cooked, listened to music, watched football and played cards. He… read more
