Mombasa is one of the biggest cities in Kenya. Its warm climate and sandy beaches have become a tourist destination for many people in the country or outside the country. Like any other place, the lifestyle and culture of the natives slightly differ with those of others from different areas.
Year in year out, people arrive in Mombasa to seek employment. Some of them manage to achieve their dreams. Here are some of the life hacks that can help one to survive in Mombasa.
1. Be friendly to your neighbours
80 per cent of Mombasa residents are quite friendly. When you walk around any neighbourhood in the morning, greetings even from people that you do not know will definitely come flying your way. Reciprocating this kindness will help establish a good rapport with the individuals living around you who might help you during your time of need.
2. Keep your personal details to yourself
Even though friendliness is highly encouraged, oversharing is definitely discouraged. Making people know you the extra mile can make you vulnerable to gossip. Speaking out your opinion can also make you look like a snob or judgemental to the people around you. Locking your secrets and opinions deep within yourself will help one avoid unnecessary confrontations or dramas.
3. Avoid dark corners or alleys in the night
This depends on the area that one resides. If one lives in an area that has so many criminal gangs, then keeping in well-lighted areas at night is key. This will make you avoid being mugged or killed.
