I am Mekonen, I was born and raised in Omo Valley area specifically in Key Afer in 1992 European Calendar. As a young boy I grew up following the footsteps of Tourists coming to my doorstep which gave me the inspiration to chase a dream of becoming a traveler myself as well as a tour related service provider with a need to discover more and more of my own country first. To realize this dream of mine come true I self sponsored my education since young age and joined a reputed Hotel and Tourism college in the Capital Addis some 715Kms away from my tiny village and got graduated with an honor in Tour operation and guiding Diploma. I have traveled to 3 countries Kenya,Tanzania, and China almost for a period of Four years invited by friends who came to Ethiopia to get my services for they knew that i like meeting new people from different cultural backgrounds and places. I have a number good life philosophies I am ready and open handed to share. Love and Respect is my Language and I invite the whole world to come and connected to a new dimension of a beautiful human life!!
