About
I'm an interesting young lady who loves to laugh, cook, dance and learn a bunch of new things (:
I'm really an open book, but I like to have my personal space. An INFP, if that's language that makes sense to you;). I love transparency and good communication, and I giggle very easily. PS. Indoor games are my favorite!
Current new hobby: Gardening.

Traffic
Addis Ababa, 膧d墨s 膧beba, Ethiopia
I was there for a very short time but I loved almost everything! Beautiful passionate people, lovely scenery, amazing FOOD, the transport system gets a thousand thumbs up and the rich culture is just heavenly.
It was pretty cold most of the time and the internet access was so limited that I only remember being able to talk to people back in Kenya twice or thrice.
Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya
Kenya is simply the best place to be! The people are super welcoming, it's very advanced in terms of technology, the scenery is to die for and there's always so much to explore!! It's also perfect for any internationals since you'll always find restaurants, hang out joints, stores and communities of people from most parts of the world.
There's a tad too much traffic in the metropolitan, but thank God for alternative routes!
EXPAT TIP: If anyone tries to bribe you as an expat tell them you can only send them the money via M-PESA (which will provide you with their govt names and detail), and they'll back off mostly because they don't like any traces.

Haha, I think it's just like we treat fellow Kenyans...except there's more interest and attention drawn to you because of your accent mostly. Lol. I have several African-American friends and I see that. Read More
