Ethiopia
“Ethiopia is truly a world apart, a country I had read
about in my teenage years and that had been on my
bucket list for a very long time. I will always remember
the night we landed in Addis Ababa. It was like a dream
come true. All that we had imagined for years was com-
ing to life around us, even in just the capital city. We first
headed to the south of the country, exploring the storied
Omo Valley. There, we found a sublime and powerful
way of life, timeless nature in all its majesty, and mys-
terious rituals that have remained unchanged since the
dawn of time. We continued our trip to the north of the
country, to Bahir Dar, Lake Tana, Gonder, and Lalibela,
discovering some of the world’s most astounding sacred
sites. Wherever you decide to go, a visit to Ethiopia will
remain with you for a lifetime.”
