ABOUT ME:
I am from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. My hobbies are learning new language, swimming and board games. Something interesting about me: I'm all about loving nature, especially during fall when the leaves turn beautiful colors. Swimming is my go-to hobby—it's like a peaceful dip into pure relaxation. But above all, my family holds the biggest place in my heart, bringing me endless joy and love. I also love diving into different languages and cultures—it's like discovering new worlds. And when it comes to music, oldies Ethiopian music is where I find my groove, connecting me to life's beat. It's a beautiful mix of nature, family, languages, and tunes that make my story.
