About me! I am a trained travel consultant and travel manager with over 10 years of experience. I have traveled both in the destinations in my portfolio and in the source markets. Being socially responsible and environmentally friendly is of vital importance to us. We were the first Ethiopian company to receive a sustainability award, and we implement a wide range of projects that benefit local communities. What have you been doing in the past: For over 11 years, I have been crafting experiential travel for my clients. I am able to establish a destination management company with dynamic and expert staff. What you are currently up to: The long pause in the travel industry in our region helped us focus on certain tours such as community-based tourism, birdwatching, wildlife tours, trekking, and walking city tours. Now, we are fine-tuning our greatest and most responsible tourism services. What is your favorite...: Most places I have been are all wonderful. They all have distinctive features. However, If I must choose, The 8th Wonder of the World, Lalibela rock-hewn churches, the bull jumping ceremony of the Hammer tribes in Omo Valley, and the alien-like landscape of Denakil Depression are my favorites.
