I Got Paid To Travel For 2 Weeks Every Three Months, So I Went To Ethiopia

ADVERTISEMENT

I used to work in conflict zones and the organisation I worked for would encourage us to leave every three months for a week or 2 to relax and decompress. They would even give us some pocket money!

I chose Ethiopia for my first trip. It was my first experience of Africa and I was blown away by the diversity of landscapes, people and cultures within one country.

Nice pictures, but the name of the tribes which are found in the Mago area are Mursi rather than Mersi. Merci Monsieur for promoting ET
