I've studied medicine + nursing and worked in an intensive care unit.
These days I'm designing/developing at momondo.com and travelling as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up in a ever-changing environment at a boarding school in Ethiopia and loved it — meeting new people, hearing their stories and get inspired by other cultures and ways of thinking.
