Are you someone who loves to explore different cultures and destinations around the globe with like-minded individuals? Then you're in for a treat because you can join me for a 2-week-long backpacking trip to the coast of Kenya. Mombasa, Diani, Watamu, Malindi and Lamu. The tropical vibes are real and you don't want to miss it. You will witness the cultural heritage and beauty of the local people. I will be taking care of all accommodation, daily transportation, and activities, so all you would need is to pack your backpack book a flight ✈️ to Mombasa, and bring your vibes, hat, bikinis, or swimming costume, and sunglasses for Instagrammable photos.

About me! Hi! I'm Joan and I'm a travel enthusiast who lives in Mombasa, Kenya. Having hosted travelers around the world in Mombasa, It's my time to expand my horizons, and having you on this trip will be the moment of truth. The wide knowledge I have gathered over the years in Mombasa has made me become a travel host, especially for travelers who want to experience the local culture and interact with the locals. The trip itinerary is provided, but it is flexible. Also, I've done my research and will be there to recommend the best spots for brunches, clubs, spas, etc.

Details about the accommodation: We will have 3 options for our accommodation. Depending on the numbers, we will either opt for hostels, apartments, or private Villas. All these accommodation options are available in most of the areas we will be and can be booked last minute. The hostels are available for backpackers in Mombasa, Diani, and Kilifi. Malindi, Watamu, and Lamu we can go big on the Villas and apartments. So come prepared, no bad experience here. If something is not clear you can reach out to me in the Q&A section on this trip!
