ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Ethiopia, Addis in specific, but I have lived and studied in German, USA and Israel/Palestine. I'm a curious individual who never gets tired of going to new places and learning about the history and culture of different people.

PHILOSOPHY

Love, learn, dream and be grateful.
As one of my favorite poets, Maya Angelou put it:
The Lesson

I keep on dying again.
Veins collapse, opening like the
Small fists of sleeping
Children.
Memory of old tombs,
Rotting flesh and worms do
Not convince me against
The challenge. The years
And cold defeat live deep in
Lines along my face.
They dull my eyes, yet
I keep on dying,
Because I love to live.
Maya Angelou

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to CS and I can't host atm but I'd be more than happy to meet up with ppl and hang out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed in different cities in Israel/Palestine and have had great experiences doing so. One of my most profound experiences through couch surfing was how it is possible to meet sbdy, bond with them like u bond with friends from your childhood and connect by the mere fact that we are all human and by the bizarre fact that there are LOTS of people out there who are like you/me/'us'...even if they have gone through a diverse set of life paths to be/get to who/where they are.
