Who am I?
A man from the USA trying to discover the world one place at a time, while sharing the experiences through my lens. I like traveling to places that are usually not first on most people’s itinerary and showing everyone that these places are worth the journey. I want to experience all the countries I visit as a member of the society but at the same time learn about the culture, food and beautiful people. Growth is not achievable without leaving your comfort zone, so just do it!

Dear Myre, you have such a wonderful, positive, and brilliant personality, and I truly appreciate the affection you have shown to Ethiopians. However, I am sad to learn about the challenges you had to deal with. You are absolutely right regarding the currency, Internet, and transportation problems in Ethiopia. My hope is that things will improve in the future, and I would like to see you return back to Ethiopia because we feel that you are among one of us. Have a safe flight, dear brother.

I am originally from Addis Ababa/Ethiopia, and I agree with all the six points, but the crime stat is up compared to what it used to be. One more con is that the cost of living for the locals and inflation are getting out of hand. Thanks for the honest first hand experience. With love from Philadelphia, PA, USA.

And thank God it isn't & I pray it stays this way. But my wife told me that Ethiopia is going to open up it's boarders soon so that foreigners can buy property. I don't know how true this is but it's what she said. We shall see?

Thanks bro your honest and humble opinion and as ethiopian expat. I have been thinking the same thing, especially with CONS points. I'm very familiar with Pros points since I am an ethipian myself originally. I had bad experience with the accessibility/ availability of the internet and it gets even worse as you go outside of the capital and to regions . My need for internet was only for basics but I can't imagine the immense inconvenience you encounter professional tech users like you. Definitely money is another negative issue . In one return trip I left with 3000 birr and thought it was good idea to keep and use in the next trip. Returning after 8 months, they told me my bank notes had zero value and because it was suddently replaced the banknotes for political reason. Another time I departed with 1500 birr and when retuned next trip to Addis I couldn't find t and where I lost ? Probably I lost it somewhere in different airports.

I’m pro Ethiopian who reside in the west, I agree partially all the cons about Ethiopia! Work round solutions though 1) currency you can sell your birr in Banks which are thousands of them in Addis. 2) The internet is poor but they've a dongle a portable USB but you've to be a resident I guess to get it but not sure! 3) Transportation is hard to get during peak time but you can hire a car which isn't that expensive the cons is they might held your official document when you hire a car!

Hi, I have moved from UAE to Ethiopia addis and It is really great over here. You can rent a 2 BR apartment for 70,000 bir which is 614 $. You can get a monthly unlimited wifi for 1000 bir which is like 8.7$ and the food is cheap. Weather is amazing and people are friendly and to my surprise most of the people in Addis speak english.
