My name is Befekadu Ayalew, but you can call me BK. I grew up in the remarkable eighth wonder of the world; Lalibela rock-hewn churches. I graduated from tourism and hotel management, but also love everything to do with nature and culture.

I was introduced to this wonderful world of couchsurfing through my friend Michael. I find this site to be one of the greatest tools to help bring world cultures together and experience different perspectives.

I am very open-minded and easygoing, and love to meet new people. There have been foreigners visiting Lalibela for my entire life, so I grew up beside them and really enjoy interacting with them. I will happily show you around and introduce you to the amazing local food here in Lalibela.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm new to couchsurfing and I'm trying to learn the culture with my Canadian and Argentinian friends. I really appreciate any advice to improve. I can teach you the history behind Lalibela's churches, people, and anything else you want to know.
