Hi everyone!

This is Muluken ( friends call me ‘Mulé’ in short). I am a seasoned tour operator and certified tourist guide in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

I am native Ethiopian born and raised in Addis. I completed my elementary and secondary school in my home town, Addis Ababa.

Funny enough, I actually started out studying Accounting after high school in Mekelle. But after two years, I realized spreadsheets just weren't for me! I'm definitely more of a people person, and sitting behind a desk felt... well, pretty boring!

So, I followed my true passion and switched gears to study Tour Operations Management. Since graduating in 2004, I've absolutely loved working as a certified tour operator and tour guide leading groups of travelers to all parts of Ethiopia. There's nothing quite like sharing the magic of Ethiopia, especially the hidden gems and vibrant daily life of my home city, Addis.

If you're curious about local life, want to peel back the layers of Addis Ababa beyond the guidebooks, or just fancy a chat about Ethiopia, feel free to reach out! I love connecting with travelers and helping them experience Addis to the fullest.

Get in touch with me and enjoy your time in Addis Ababa to the fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I absolutely love connecting with people from all over the world and share the history, culture, recent trends, etc. about Addis Ababa!

Ethiopia is my passion and I'm on Couchsurfing to share a piece of my culture with curious travelers. I truly believe the best way to experience a city is through local eyes.

As a guide specializing in Addis Ababa layover tours, I get immense joy from showing people the unique history, vibrant markets, and rich coffee traditions that most just fly over.

I'm here to connect, learn from your stories, and maybe even inspire you to dive deeper into Ethiopian life when you are here in Addis Ababa!

Interests

I love meeting new people and showing them interesting places I love. I would also like to visit new places. Reading, watching football games, and walking are my hobbies.
