I’m Hardi, a proud Ghanaian who enjoys embracing the beauty of cultures and meeting new people. I’m originally from West Africa , and I’ve had the privilege of living in various countries, which has broadened my perspectives and enriched my life experience I spent an incredible four years in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, immersed in its vibrant culture and stunning landscapes. Earlier this year, I relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where I’m currently based. Living in these diverse regions has strengthened my love for travel, cultural exchange, and making meaningful connection

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best way to experience a new place is through the eyes of the locals. Couchsurfing allows for genuine connections, cultural exchanges, and a chance to learn about life from different perspectives. Whether hosting or surfing, I value the opportunity to create lasting friendships and share unique experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Three Amazing Things I’ve Done

1. Ethiopia
I hiked the stunning Simien Mountains, one of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes. The dramatic cliffs, unique wildlife like Gelada baboons, and the sense of achievement reaching the peaks made it an unforgettable adventure.

2. Morocco
I experienced the magic of the Sahara Desert, riding a camel through the golden dunes at sunset and spending the night under a star-filled sky. Sitting around a campfire, sharing stories with locals, and hearing traditional Berber music was an unforgettable cultural experience.

3. New York
I watched a Broadway show and felt the pulse of Times Square at night. The energy, diversity, and creativity of New York City are unmatched, and exploring its iconic landmarks, from Central Park to the Empire State Building, left me inspired and amazed.
