CURRENT MISSION

A launching-off point for people exploring south Ethiopia.

ABOUT ME

Weird shoes. Good taste in food.

PHILOSOPHY

Empiricism. Beyond that, I keep an open mind.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I could be a home base for people heading off to explore the Southern Nations region of Ethiopia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only as a host, but I'd like to change that soon! I did spend six months WWOOFing around New Zealand, which is kind of similar...

Centres d'intérêt

I like traveling, reading, cooking (especially for other people), trying out new foods (there's no such thing as "too strange"), listening to all kinds of music, and watching well-written movies.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Movies? All types, especially drama. Anything with great writing.

Music? Again, all kinds, with the exception of bog-standard modern country and pop.

Books? Mostly nonfiction. At least when I have library access, which hasn't happened lately.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Seeing Teddy Afro live in Ethiopia... that was pretty cool. Even if my camera did get stolen.
