From Keyafer to Tour Guide: A Journey of Passion and Dedication

I am a certified, young, and passionate outdoor enthusiast, whose journey began in the small town of Keyafer in the Omo Valley. As a teenager, I spent my days running after tourists, selling small souvenirs to support myself and my younger brother.

One day, fate intervened. While standing outside a hotel room, I was approached by an English-speaking local guide alongside a kind-hearted Dutch man. Though hesitant at first, I slowly stepped forward—a moment that would change my life forever.

A Life Transformed

Thanks to the generosity of my Dutch sponsor, my brother and I were taken to Addis Ababa to receive a better education. I completed high school and pursued a vocational diploma specializing in:

  • Tour Services

  • Tour Guiding

  • Tour Operations and Management

Determined to further my expertise, I continued my studies and earned a Bachelor's degree in Tourism and Hotel Management.

A Passion for Travel and Culture

Now a responsible, caring, and dedicated tour guide, I take great pride in offering my clients memorable and immersive travel experiences. My first-hand exposure to different cultures—including living with a Westerner—has strengthened my ability to connect with travelers from around the world, giving me valuable insights into their expectations and interests.

I work hard to ensure that every tour is not just a trip, but an unforgettable journey—one that is truly worth every penny.
