I lived one year in Kinshasa, two years in Addis Ababa. and one year in Sweden. In Ethiopia and Africa, I liked to have friendly and smiling people around me. And it was good to know that these smiles are not fake ones :) Now I am back to my home country.

I want to hear, see, learn more about the planet earth, and have good friends and good photos meanwhile!I try to keep my eyes (and heart) wide open for new discoveries.

PHILOSOPHY

Hey common' its a difficult question.. Ishi, I like to keep on walking on the way, to discover and to know more about me and the world; about the world and me, and try to find out some connections with the eternity through the world (and me).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it is a genous idea. Being able to help a traveler and also meeting new people from different part of the world is great.
