About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Organizing, Historical ,cultural ,trekking ,cycling tour to Ethiopia.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Bahar Dar, Ethiopia. But I had the chance to live and study in France and England and travel almost all over Europe. I have had good opportunity to do my own research on the topics that interest me most which is Tourism!
But finally I felt pain about how little the world knows about the country which I have always loved and been proud of. I had to realize that the world still missunderstands Ethiopia's real image. This for a number of reasons among which also disproportionate foreign media coverage which tells unbalanced mostly about war, poverty and famine.
So in a way, I wanted to create the opportunity for the rest of the world to discover about the amazing history, the incredible nature and the beautiful culture of Ethiopia for mutual social and economic benefit. This is how I came up with an idea of organizing a cross country bicycle tour all over Europe, Canada and some parts of USA. For the last one year I have been cycling throughout Europe (France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland...) in order to improve the image of Ethiopia and promote ecotourism and cultural exchange. I strongly believe that this promotional bicycle tour can make a difference against the country's bad image and increase tourist arrival in Ethiopia in order to boost revenu income from the tourism sector and help the ongoing effort of poverty reduction.
