I’m Ken, a Kenyan accountant with a special love for languages. I enjoy cross-cultural conversations and love hearing different accents from around the world come together through one shared language. I especially enjoy easy, judgment-free conversations where there is no pressure for perfection—just people connecting over random topics.
