Hello! My name is Shagy (Shegaw), an English-speaking local guide from Ethiopia. I specialize in cultural, historical, and nature tours across Ethiopia — including Lake Tana monasteries, Blue Nile Falls, Gondar castles, Lalibela rock-hewn churches, Omo Valley tribes, and many other beautiful destinations.
I have deep knowledge of Ethiopian history, traditions, and local life, and I love sharing authentic experiences with travelers.
My tours are friendly, safe, flexible, and customized for solo travelers, couples, families, and small groups.
If you want a trusted local guide who explains everything clearly and helps you experience Ethiopia like a local, I’m here to make your trip unforgettable.
Feel free to contact me anytime for tours, information, or travel planning!”

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

“I am on Couchsurfing because I love meeting new people from around the world and sharing the beauty of Ethiopia with them. I enjoy cultural exchange — learning about others’ countries, ideas, and experiences, and also showing them our traditions, food, history, and daily life.
As a local guide, I believe travel is not only about places but also about people. Couchsurfing gives me the chance to make real friendships, help travelers, and create unforgettable memories together.
I like helping visitors feel safe, welcome, and comfortable in Ethiopia. Whether someone needs advice, local tips, or just someone to talk to, I’m always happy to assist.
For me, Couchsurfing is about kindness, connection, and sharing the world in a positive way.”

音乐、电影和书籍

“I enjoy many different kinds of music — traditional Ethiopian sounds like Azmari, Tizita, and cultural songs from all regions, as well as reggae, soft rock, Afrobeat, and calm acoustic music. Music that tells a story always inspires me.

For movies, I like true-story films, historical movies, travel documentaries, adventure films, and anything that shows culture or human connection. I also enjoy light comedies after a long day.

For books, I enjoy reading about history, culture, psychology, personal growth, and travel experiences. I love books that help me understand people and the world better.”

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

One amazing thing I’ve done was helping a 14-year-old girl who lost her job and had nowhere to go. I found her on the street, supported her with food, care, and safety, and helped her get back on her feet.
It reminded me that kindness is the most powerful thing we can give.
This experience changed me deeply and motivates me to help others whenever I can.”
