PEPE FOR PRESIDENT I joined the Watamu coliving in September 2025 for 2 weeks

PEPE FOR PRESIDENT
I joined the Watamu coliving in September 2025 for 2 weeks. Didn't really know what to expect and it was one of the best experiences I've had. The setup was fantastic, the apartments were really nice and the co-working space was kitted out and great to work from. The group was really cool and everyone was on a similar vibe - working during the day and adventuring in the evenings and weekends.
Pepe was the host for the month and she was AMAZING - whether it was sorting out our adventures, supporting on any issues or just giving us general advice on cool things to do in Kenya. She went above and beyond in making the experience the best, including showing us cool spots for local food, and great places to pick up local art/ clothing.
I loved it and plan to do another coliving experience with AfricaNomads next year!
