CURRENT MISSION

"It is better to light a candle that to curse the darkness"

ABOUT ME

Came all the way from Ethiopia to join the Erasmus community and study master of science in computer engineering. I would rather say studying in Portugal has been like taking a long holiday. Exposure has given me an open paradigm of thinking including couch-surfing ...

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that a everyone has an unlimited power and if exerted for a good cause can make a lasting change at an individual, family or societal level. I leave to make that difference to create something that I can call mine and that I can say I have changed the world in this way. I also believe that people are good in general if you give them the freedom to choose and to be themselves. And I love people who give me the freedom to exercise free life and am longing to meet you that is why I am here ...x

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

being an Erasmus student is a life changing experience. I have seen Taj Mahal India and toured around some place in Europe which is an amazing experience to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being the oldest independent state in Africa Ethiopia has a lot of amazing things that only few people are aware of. Starting from the fact that it has 13 months of sunshine and its own calendar which counts 2002 this year. As much as I am interested in knowing other people and their culture I also like sharing mine on top of my professional knowledge to be shared.
