This is my dream
Ethiopia has so much to offer the world — from breathtaking travel destinations, to powerful art, to incredibly talented creative people.
Most people just haven’t seen it yet.
Let me show you
Dejene Hodes.
I'm Ethiopian-American living and working in Ethiopia
Ethiopia isn’t lacking opportunity. It’s overflowing with it.
What’s missing is access — real access to the places, the artists, and the people shaping the country today.
That’s what I’m building.
Ethiopia is also an artistic powerhouse overflowing with untapped opportunity.
The hurdle isn't talent—it's access. We need a platform that connects the world to the artists and cultural pioneers defining the nation today.
I’m building that connection.
Why Me
I love Ethiopia so much!
That I moved back from the U.S. over ten years ago. Since then, I’ve worked in many different areas, but over time, travel, art, and media became what I care about most. They’re the spaces where I’ve felt the most connection, meaning, and purpose.
Now I’m bringing all of that together — building from Ethiopia, working directly with people here, and slowly putting together the best team I can.
Journeys, Art, and Media.
Experience the heart of Ethiopia.
