About Me

Hey there! I’m a very friendly and open-minded person who loves meeting new people and learning about different cultures and ideas. I enjoy spending time in nature and discovering more of this beautiful world. 🌍

I’m someone you can trust — I always try to make my friends and guests feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Helping others makes me feel good, and I believe kindness always comes back.

My philosophy: Stay positive — positive energy always connects with other positive souls. Share love — because love is the strongest power we have. ❤️

My passions: Music, traveling, nature, and smiling! I always try to keep a smile on my face because life is beautiful, no matter what! 😄

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing is a wonderful way to connect with people from all over the world. It’s not just about traveling — it’s about sharing experiences, learning from each other, and building friendships across cultures. 🌏

I love helping travelers who come to Ethiopia by sharing local tips — where to go, what to see, where to stay, and how to plan their trips. I enjoy exchanging stories, ideas, and laughter while learning about different ways of life.

For me, Couchsurfing is all about learning, sharing, and enjoying our beautiful cultural differences together! 🤝

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy Ethiopian old slow music — the kind that touches the heart and tells a story. 🎶
I also like listening to relaxing or traditional sounds from other cultures.

When it comes to movies, I enjoy anything that inspires or teaches something new — especially travel, history, or true-story films.

Books that share wisdom or different perspectives on life always catch my interest too. 📚

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Lalibela — the incredible rock-hewn churches carved from a single stone. ⛪️
Standing there, feeling the spiritual energy and history of that sacred place, was one of the most unforgettable moments of my life. It truly made me proud to be Ethiopian and amazed by what our ancestors created. 🇪🇹✨

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe travel changes people — and people can change the world. 🌎

I love to share what I know about Ethiopia — our culture, traditions, food, music, and the best local spots to explore.
I want to learn from others too — about their countries, stories, and different ways of life.
And I’m always happy to teach anything I can, whether it’s a few words in Amharic, how to eat injera the Ethiopian way, or how to plan great adventures here!

Everything I do, I do with an open heart and within my capacity to make people feel welcome. ❤️

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m always happy to help with anything needed! I love sharing my perspective, ideas, and stories about Ethiopia — its culture, traditions, and history. 🇪🇹

If you’re interested, I can also guide you to some local places, help you experience authentic Ethiopian life, or just spend time together learning from each other and having good conversations.

I enjoy helping others and sharing the beauty of my country with new friends. 😊
