I am a travel enthusiast but this was my first time traveling outside my homeland, Ghana. I am getting quite a good experience staying in the Eastern African country, which is also the headquarters of the African Union.

Ethiopia actually hosts archaeological findings dating back to 3 millions years ago and it tells you how ancient this country is. The people are lovely and their rich culture is held in high esteem.

I am getting used to their food now, and the language, I am learning "tinnish tinnish".

I had the opportunity to witness the Epiphany (Timkat) celebration, which is the longest yearly celebration of the Orthodox churches here to commemorate the baptism of Jesus and the visit of the three wise men - it was awesome. I am yet to visit their historical sites and when I do, I shall surely post pictures here, and share my experiences in other posts.

Are you an Ethiopian?

Have you been to Ethiopia before?

What is your experience?
