You are doing a great service to Ethiopia really. I’ve not been back there for more than eight years, but through your videos I could see how much the country has changed. Thank you for what you do 🙏🏽🙏🏽

You are inspiration to many Africans as you are travelling around Africa and showing untapped resources, culture & ..... of our mother land. Africa is rising up 🙏

the cost of living seems very reasonable in dollars but i can't imagine living there while getting payed in birr. its way too expensive compared to what most the local people's salaries are.

I am Ethiopian living in the US. I have to say your blog/ video is the most efficient and much needed information I have seen so far, even my relatives don’t give me such clear info 😅 keep it up. You rock girl!

Cost of leaving in Ethiopia is Expensive for Us but cheap for foreigners

This is so accurate it shows how much time and energy you spent doing your research. Appreciate it!

I won't lie the country is very expensive for real. But i love the country an its people very kind and friendly thank God my wife is from Ethiopia 💋🇪🇹

Very informative video. I really enjoyed and appreciated it. Thanks for the post.

it is so expensive for local, I couldn't agree more

I loved your video! ❤ I've been in Addis Ababa for only one day back in 2017. I've never planned to go to Ethiopia, but I ended up falling in love with it. I really hope that I can have the experience of spending more time there someday. 🙏🏼

I am renting a 3 storey house with 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, and 2 Livingrooms with 2 kitchens, and that only costs 300 US dollars a month. So, compare to the West, it is dirt cheap. And by the way, the development in Addis Ababa is rapidly growing as you can see.

Apparently, Generally, Addis has the lowest cost of living in East and Horn of Africa, from my experience

Yes love Ethiopia my wife and I are building a home In Barhir Dar I’m from America and she is from Ethiopia but at the moment we live in America wish more of my Afro American brothers and sister visit more would love to see more of us there great video

You know Many things Better than any of us in Ethiopia Damaris!!! Thank you for the information and i wish and hope you will go back again one day & Best wishes wherever you are Love & Respect for you as always😍😍😍

You did a great job highlighting Ethiopia. Your video makes me even more grateful to live here!

Thank you-- This was very informative and helpful

One of my favourite countries to travel! Such a unique culture and landscapes

Great job. Very informative. Thank you

Thanks for the beautiful presentation!!!

I'm a AA living in America and for starters I'm absolutely blown away by this footage and intrigued. It looks like a nice city to live and the cost of living to me is definitely reasonable for sure.Thanks for the content 🙂👌🏾

Thank you very much for this informational video! I loved it 💯🙏😇

You have evolved, and now produce excellent content that brings value to your viewers. Top notch 👌 Brilliant content directing. You have really grown as a person. Brilliant Content! Hands Down 🙌🙌

Wow cool channel. I’m just learning about Ethiopia and it’s very intriguing.

Strange...I was in Addis about 3 years ago (2017) and it was 1UsD to 30 Birr...now (2021 it's 40 Birr)....Anyway, it's the strongest currency in East and Horn of Africa

Great video. Keep up the good work!

I live in Washington DC. My rent is $2550.00 a month. Food costs $600 a month. I think I need to move to Addis.

2:03 oh my bloody god!!!!! The balcony is so cute and neat!!! And the view with the golden light is nice. It's a nice little reprieve for early mornings and late evenings! 😍

I like what you are doing I can't wait to share my own perception

It is very much reasonable. Thank you for this video. love peace and prosperity to Africa ❣️

Great as always. Thanks and enjoy.

The only thing i can do is thumb up or Like. Love your work. Good work keep traveling sis.

Oh you remind me special shiro ( the meal at the end of ur video) to eat for my lunch as mid day is approaching. Thank you for the video you made in our Ethiopia

Loved this new sub.

Been to Ethiopia 15 times love the country, thanks for sharing and can you do a Vlog on hospitals for those thinking of coming to Ethiopia long term. None of us are super human extra terrestrials that view was epic.

Great video. Thank you soooo much

Addis ababa is an amazing city loved living there In somalia we have unlimited internet 4G LTE just under 15$ a month.

The cost of living there is very reasonable compared to Barbados and other West Indian islands. Very nformative video.

ወጣት ኢትዮጵያውያን እንደ እሷ አገራችሁን አስተዋውቁ ብዙ ታሪክ ባህል ሀይማኖት ቅርስ ያለን ህዝቦች ነን።

Terry from Los Angeles's California very nice video my dear.

Great video full of good information!

Great video! When all is well in Ethiopia we will consider moving in the future but not in the current situation. Praying for poor, elders, children and women who are innocent and victims of this civil war among racially divided brothers and sisters .

Making this comparison is like comparing oranges to apples. Love your pineapple hairstyle. You're looking good and thank you for showing positive things about Ethiopia.

The cost of living in Ethiopia is increasing from time to time

Wow. Thanks for this. We’re currently in Dar es Salaam, but I’m very curious about Addis Ababa. We’ve been here since 2020 from the USA. All in all, East Africa is amazing!

It’s excellent and very much affordable for people visiting but it seems pretty steep for the locals

Wow this is amazing information about Ethiopia. Chiku yeye african KZfaqr

Thanks for the video, it was simply awesome

I love Ethiopia 🇪🇹 from Aden Yemen 🇾🇪

I used to pay 750 Australian dollar; which is way expensive. But, in Ethiopia, people have fewer income generation option to afford the least living standard.

Thank you. You are a beautiful sister. I love you because you love Ethiopia and promote AfriKa.

Amazing. Ethiopia is an amazing country.their people are friendly..

Hi I m from Malaysia. 200usd a month for a studio with toilet and balcony its pretty expensive compare with Malaysia. Because i rent, a 3 bedroom with 2 bathroom, a parking lot and garden just around usd220 a month. However I m not living in the center of Capital city of Malaysia which is Kuala Lumpur. My house around 30 minit from KL. But for food and transportation, u guys are insanely cheap. Esp for the coffee.. Wow.. And maybe your electricity, cheaper than Malaysia. But for water, i m not sure. But for me Malaysia quite cheap. In average we pay around usd2-10 per month for water. Sometime it free, since government give subsidies. My conclusion after seeing your video, i can say in total u guys more cheaper than Malaysia(Kuala Lumpur). Thanks for the great video. Keep it up, stay safe and take care. Love from Malaysia.

Hello, thank you so much for providing such clear and good information. It deeply helps for people such as me who didn't get to come in Ethiopia yet. Coming from a large city in France. The price of accommodation here (Montpellier) is around 500-700€ for 1 to 2 bedrooms. Notice that according to your salary you're likely to get money from the government to help you pay your appartement. I.e. I 'm a student and I live in an appartement that costs me 1000€, and the government give me 400€. It's sounds weird but we pay a lot of taxes here.

It's a beautiful city. I wish the best for that teacher. Education of the youth is preparation for the future of the country. Teachers should be paid at the highest level as they prepare students for all eventual careers.

Oooo serene environment here!! Well, looks like 9 hours is the earliest I have been in a month. I should be ashamed of myself but my shame tree tore down 🥰🥰 I love everything - even the cirrus clouds in the sky. Soo so pleasant! Aaaaaand the picturesque landscape!

Great video. Greetings from London 🇬🇧

Thanks for your vedio it's good.

I enjoy your videos so much...👍❤️

Thanks very much for this video 😊

I enjoyed this video.

Very good video tho I was literally looking for this information look at gawd

80$ to 200$ a month for 1 bed room is reasonable price. Where I live in US average 1 bedroom apartment is $700 to $1000 depend on how luxury you want it including location (close to the city), gym, swimming pool. Monthly income varies based on what you do as well.

I'm from Etopiya🇪🇹Thanks my sister💚💚

Yeah in our country down in Aotearoa, New Zealand it about the same but a bit more in Auckland. $320NZ will get me $200 USD. Many Blessings and Thanks for the video

BEAUTIFUL ETHIOPIA CITY I WANT VISIT THIS PLACE

I plan on Is retiringhere with a million dollars in the next 6 years, I love the channel thank you

Thanks very much my sister they can't hide Africa from us anymore Thanks for social media

Appreciated really!

You should have shown an apartment with a kitchen. I would love to visit, and the cost of living is dirt cheap compared to the cheapest places to live in the USA.

Another really good video please let's become friends my dear.

I live in Florida, my electric bill is more than 200$ a month. Basically a studio is 1,000$, 2 bedrooms 2,000$, 3 bedrooms 3,000k

We thank u to visit 🇪🇹 tyy♥️

Well we rented one of the studio aprtement shown in the vid its expensive life in addis it dont go w average income of the economy plus the envolvment of brokers makes it even harder to find a descent n cheap house to rent as they take 10% of the monthly rent n insist to get paid of 3 monthes also the house leaking water which was painted newly from the walls with in weeks thanks God i did not get Nimonia i was sneezing without rest so i changed house immediately after that. So...... Addis Ababa houses are like painted tents.

Very good job lots of people in the diaspora are curious.

Dear gawd how you said birrr throw me out the window gaawwd damnn

I think if i remember 100$ was 700 birr in 2001 i wonder high inflation on the other hand addis ababa changed in terms of economic growth you can see new building streets hotels etc live was simple and invironment keeping you happy i have nostalgia to visit again !

You are inspiring to Africans to show real problems impacting Africans

I have been trying to develop a plan to live in Ethiopia and keep my U.S. citizenship. The housing prices you mentioned are much cheaper than what is listed on the web. I am not Habesha and will probably have to pay more for rent than you. The price of internet service depends on your access speed. It can be cheap as $10 for a very slow connection. If you want anything resembling the internet speeds in the U.S. it will cost a lot more. The major hanging point is the financial institutions. The U.S. makes it very difficult to have a financial account outside of the country. At best, I can live in Ethiopia for a few months out of the year. I am fortunate enough to be able to work from anywhere that has a good internet system. Getting mail forwarded from the U.S. is another major problem. Electrical power failures were always a problem in Addis. I am waiting for Covid to go away before traveling again. There is a lot going on in Addis these days. There are so many people being moved from the country to the city. On my last trip to Addis, I was dodging pickpockets every day and carrying my cellphone with a death grip in my hand. How is the crime rate?

Shalom Our Queen, is English spoken in these places, I only know English and a lil bit of Spanish ?

I hope to see my missed friend in one of pictures..If he should watch this .I wish he is well and hope to meet him again in this life. I do never forget him .

Housing and food cost are reasonable. Utility bill including internet not mentioned. A glimpse of night life might help, coz most guys are curious in that (lol)... Locating low cost hotels and hostels might help the average traveller. Helpful to offer prices in dollar terms. Good. If I were to stay long, like over a month I would take one full day to familiarise self with rail system. Taxis occasionally, but mostly train.

Incredible, I would like to visit

Very interesting informations....According to a medium salary the cost of renting a house is really expensive. 😱

This is an awesome video, thank you so much, can foreigners open a bank account in Ethiopia, and can foreigners use Visa or Mastercard? Thank you.

Addisababa is the most beautiful place❤ and so natural ...people are worm and nice

It appears to be very reasonable place to live question helpful and nice is that an issue towards let say African American people cost of living i like thank you 😊👍

Great 👍

Internet is well expensive for Ethiopia. In Ethiopia 10 dollars as about 7 pounds odd sterling a week, about £29 per month. England's unlimited internet can be had at about £20 to £30 per month.

Very informative. Addis changed a lot since I visited it while working for UNMEE 2001-2004. For 80USD we used to stay in Sheraton

Thank you 🙂

Well! It's somehow cheap compared to see some African Cities like Nairobi. However, we still expect you to tell us about the security of the place coz we hear lots of civil war here and there. Security is paramount and as such one needs to live in peace no matter how cheap or expensive life can be. Tnx.

a Masters Degree, Government job & living in a shack. Life is rough in Ethiopia 🙄

On the contrary electricty is pretty reasonable compared to my country. Road to 100k in sight 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿.

Great (👍)

Beautiful! My Home there is finally complete! I'm very happy and satisfied! I love Ethiopia! Ethiopia enhanced and changed my life! Excellent Video! Thank You! Betam Tiru!

Have you tried to get into a local hotel (3 stars for example)? Do they charge foreigners differently? I've heard stories where foreigners (including former ethiopians who attained foreign citizenship) would be asked to pay in USD and a higher price, which is ridiculous in my viewpoint.

-In Romania Bucharest the rent for 1 flat 42 m 1 room is between 170-250 euro but life is expensive i pay for phone 30 euro monthly (you must pay at least 10 euro ), minimum wage is 380 euro the food price is like in west Europe , is expensive life here

I love you gal, you really loved Ethiopia

Addis is super expensive for expats. The price is different for locals and foreigners, including food, drinks and accommodation.

I was in Ghana in 2006-2008 there was no many grocery store or even convenient store
