We, five musicians of Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, came to Ethiopia to visit tribes of the south, living in the late stone age. It so happened that we contacted Terra Incognita Tour Operation and its owner Helena. After our trip I can confirm, that to speak about her in superlative mode is to say nothing. Awsome range of knowledge of the country: history, geography, customs - are impressove! In the beginning, when she used to say "my people, my country", it was strange to hear, even though she came to Ethiopia about 30 years ago. But then I understood, that she sincerely loves this country as her own, and grew into Ethiopian culture. Of course, knowledge of amharic language is important, too. We had a feeling, that everybody knows her anf she knows everybody, even in most remote and uncivilized places. We were amazed by her professionalism. Everything beside her works as Swiss watch. I hope we come back to Ethiopia soon and she will take us to Norht Ethiopia. With my deep gratitude to Helena from Misha
