Saturday, February 14, 2026 - A Russian tourist has gone viral in Nairobi after posting TikTok videos of himself approaching women in public places such as malls, churches and streets.

In the clips, he strikes up casual conversations before inviting the women back to his Airbnb for “mechi.”

When asked how much he spends on these encounters, he admitted that he usually gives about $20 (Approx Ksh2500).
