My name is Tewodros, I was born in 1980 in the small town of Lalibela. I grow up there for three years then my family moved to the big town of Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia or you can say the capital city of Africa b/c i have access to get a job as i am the seat of African union. I have been working as a tour guide since 2003 all over Ethiopia Now I based in Addis Abeba I have attended the school and finished my high school level. Before to proceed to my college or university I had to find a job to cover my school fee. So I have been working and studying at the same time. I worked in the day time and studied in the night time. I worked at the post office communicating with different people from all over the world, which gave me the chance to improve my language skills, talking in French and English. I graduated in the field of tour operators and guiding from Lion Ethiopia Tourism and Hotel College. I continued my university studies in Personnel management at the Alpha university for four years, as well as French language at Alliance Etho Francis for two years and half. As I mentioned above, I have been working as a tour guide more than 15 years and gained experience in the tourism sector. Currently, I am working as freelance tour guide with different local and international companies, speaking both French and English. I am also a member of the tour guide association, actively participating on development of occupation standard and assessment for culture and hotel tourism sector. I am happy to work with people coming from different parts of the world introducing and promoting my country, Ethiopia. We have multi diversity, cultural tribes with more than 80 local languages spoken. Each tribe has its own dressing and hair styles. We have cultural, historical, natural sites, adventure tours can be offered too because my country is rich in history and all the listed above. Ethiopia is also the land of the origins. The first human kind discovered place is Ethiopia, her name is Luce, 3. 2 million years old. We have other historical sites like Axum stale compound the stales, 4 century after the birth of Jesus Christ and the merry church where the original Arc of covenant is. In addition, we have lakes in the north and south part of Ethiopia with different species of birds, hippopotamus, crocodiles, etc. Our tourism motto was "13 months of sun shine" which means there is a sun even if in the winter time. Now it has been changed into "The land of origins" because we are the land of the first human kind. So there are many things to visit and see! I look forward to meet you here! 1.

Debre Libanos Monastery, located about 130 km north of Addis Ababa in the Ethiopian highlands, is one of the country’s most important religious and historical sites. Founded in the 12th century by the revered Saint Tekle Haymanot, the monastery is a remarkable place of spirituality, history, and breathtaking scenery. I definitely recommend this tour to all travellers visiting the country.
We begin our journey with a scenic drive to Debre Libanos, located about 110 km from Addis Ababa. Upon arrival, we visit the historic Tekle Haymanot Monastery, exploring both inside and outside the church as well as its fascinating museum. Next, we continue to the famous 16th-century Portuguese Bridge, where we will enjoy breathtaking views, take memorable photos, and spot the unique Gelada baboons, found only in Ethiopia. Afterward, we relax over a delicious lunch and traditional Ethiopian coffee before starting our return drive to Addis Ababa. Along the way, we make scenic stops for photos. Altogether, the trip takes around 8 to 9 hours, combining spiritual heritage, history, wildlife, and incredible landscapes for a truly unforgettable day
