My wife and I are living in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, where I work for One Acre Fund, an agriculture NGO. We love traveling and seeing places that are a little off the standard tourist path.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a studio apartment, so hosting is a bit tricky.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Morocco, Egypt, Israel, Palestine, and Columbia. The Cairo CS group threw some fantastic parties on the Nile.
