[@kidane6165]

Addis is becoming the most beautiful city .

[@myounis3708]

You’re right Ethiopia is up and coming and there are a lot of amazing opportunities, thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas ❤

[@princesslivingfree]

@@myounis3708 Yes! You got my idea 👏🏾

[@amphiphile]

I will be waiting

[@Drockaddis]

Btw, you are not a foreigner. You are our Ethiopian Family. Ethiopia is yours and your children are our Ethiopian Kids.

[@princesslivingfree]

@@Drockaddis Aw, thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@ymo9780]

Girl I love your vlogs and will relocate to Ethiopia in 2 years to take care of parents but whew let me tell you as much as I love my country I think it's really a difficult system to navigate. The corruption, self sabotage, scam just too much. Everything was unnecessarily complicated. God bless your optimism because if this was not my country I would have never moved back. And I come from a relatively good background so I know money won't be a problem but even with that I am just too demoralized.

Ayzosh ehete! Berchi eshi 🥰

@@princesslivingfree awww thank you lady. Let me tell ya I am looking at my parents side way like why couldn't you have been from Bali ( Indonesia ) or panama so that I could take care of you all over there. Thanks for your positive vibes! :)

[@princesslivingfree]

@@ymo9780 Hahaha 😂. Bali would have been nice!

[@ymo9780]

@@princesslivingfree Pilates studio would be a great idea. I was looking for one during my stay this summer and didn't find one. The only issues would be the equipment that might take 3 to 7 business years smh to get from " gumruk" sorry for my dry sarcastic humor 😬 again thank you for the vlog and initiative :)

[@princesslivingfree]

I love your sense of humor 😅

[@SOLAKL]

Keep it up

Thanks sis!!

[@monajourdan1168]

Great ideas❤❤

[@kachagibbs6243]

Thank You for taking the time to give us a general summary of the types of businesses and franchises needed in Ethiopia in order to have seamless and happier supported life in the country. These are great ideas that can support families on both continents that sound adventurous and fun and very doable. Take your small family and open up yourselves a skate rink and serve food there? So many possibilities with this combination of ideas. Thank You Princess! :-D

[@princesslivingfree]

@@kachagibbs6243 Exactly! Thank you for watching 🙏🏾

Thanks 🤗

[@tbb9074]

There are great ideas for business what U indicated us, thanks for your sharing ‼️

[@enyewunega5242]

Thanks for the video

[@hillina7317]

All great ideas. I specially like the youth sport one as it very useful for kids. It can be done easily by professionals if they partner with schools.

[@princesslivingfree]

Absolutely!

[@kalusmaster78]

lots of great ideas...

[@princesslivingfree]

Glad you like them!

[@abdulrahmanraheem423]

Awesome!

[@honeybadger-ze6wr]

Your amharic makes me smile use some for fun

[@ngsha]

As always great business Idea. Anyway, I went and had dinner your favor Italian restaurant, Maggianos. I really enjoyed the egg plant parmesan. I did not care for the Alfredo parmesan. Maybe I ate half of it 🤣🤣 It is very classy place.

[@princesslivingfree]

Nice! So glad you gave it a try 😊

[@addpuppets9326]

Yeah, those are good business ideas. Addis is experiencing a housing boom, so the furniture business and interior design are lucrative. The new light poles (the ones from Bole to megenanga) are equipped with EV chargers not sure about the popcorn light poles. Yeah, I heard the bajajs(they call them tuk-tuk in other countries) are banned for good in Addis. Maybe you see them on the outskirts of the city.

[@princesslivingfree]

I like your ideas also! Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

[@amentehuti-naga4156]

Bike rental business is a great idea, As an avid bicyclist I was looking for bike rental spots when I was in Addis Ababa and couldn't find any, I only found guided tours. An app that allows locals to rent their personal bikes would also be great because it would allow locals to make some revenue.

[@princesslivingfree]

@@amentehuti-naga4156 Thanks! I love your idea about renting personal bikes as well!!

[@amentehuti-naga4156]

👍🏾

[@AfroMillennialMomma]

Love me some Zumba, we have it here in Senegal 🇸🇳

[@princesslivingfree]

Yes! Me too!

[@Who-what-whose]

And good box right boo

[@puffns]

As for the chargers that are similar to home chargers, those are very slow. You may not get even 15% the capacity even if you spend hours plugged-in. What will be needed is a super-charger where you will get 80%+ charge after 30-40 min of charging. And those are high voltage and require robust and safe charging stations costing upwards of $100k USD per stall.

[@princesslivingfree]

Thanks for the information. Actually some of the newer cars have the faster chargers available with purchase so it may not be as high as $100k. The Chinese EVs available in Ethiopia are selling for around $16k on average and include the fast chargers.

[@puffns]

The cars may accept fast charging but the charging station/stall must be able to provide higher juice and those require higher watts (250 kilowatts (kW) and higher). A typical electrical outlet in Addis is 220 V at a frequency of 50 hz. Those stalls must also be protected from the elements, accept payments and have backup battery (if Ethio-Electric supplied power goes out in the middle of charging…)

[@puffns]

Bajages are not allowed in Addis but you can find them outside of the city limits such as Bole Bulbula.

[@mekadr842]

BTW NO BAJAJ IN BULBULA

[@toteytam1091]

When I was a child, we had a place where we used to rent a bike. In Bhar dar

[@princesslivingfree]

Nice!!

[@ET3453]

Do you remember the bike rental and repair behind Dib Anbesa hotel? I forgot the name, that was where I learned how to ride a bike. I remember 1 round trip from the bike rental to Begtera road and back to the bike rental cost 10 cents. Good old days!

[@SOLAKL]

Hi

[@princesslivingfree]

Hi! 👋🏾

[@GamachuBeyena]

Hi, Princess. Which one is the hottest temperatures. Addis or Las Vegas ? I'm guessing Las Vegas, but I just want to hear your views and perspective. Let me know. Thanks.

[@fiona7591]

LAS VEGAS 100%/ Addis is cool

[@princesslivingfree]

Vegas is definitely hotter than Addis, no doubt. Thanks for watching 😊

[@Getaneh188]

Who wants to relocate to Ethiopia ??? It is hell living in Ethiopia

Speak for your self , ደነዝ

[@amphiphile]

Thank you very much. The big question, do you think there are big middle class with money to consume such products in Ethiopia? The last time I visited the country was in the early 1990s after the fall of the communist regime and everybody was poor during that time and I'm aware of the big changes in the country since that time but still there is abject poverty in Addis Ababa itself

[@fraolgudeta2877]

There is a poverty ofcourse like in every country but there are more than enough consumers for the bussiness she mentioned in the video. Plus come'on the 90s where three decades ago do you think we are stuck on time?😂there is a progress a big progress i know you guys still remember the famine and everything but there is a big change.i am not saying we are a developed nation but there is a big population that can afford the life style mentioned in the video.

[@princesslivingfree]

Thank you for watching! Yes, there are more than enough middle and upper class people to afford these services.

[@Bizuayehu-l2w]

I want to have for our kids like Chuck E. cheese …😊 don’t you think so…? Go big …. Someone’s hello 😳😊…. We are waiting….come back home and build…. Make young kids happy…. Fingers crossed .,… thanks young lady love watching your videos…. 👌🙏

[@princesslivingfree]

Yes please!

[@princesslivingfree]

@@nebodotcom Hi!

[@willyou2030]

My sister, we are not interested, there is no peace in Ethiopia now, the Government is attacking his people with war aircraft and Drones killing many civilian citizens in the Amhara region so where there is no peace there is no real investment, don't you see this? Or your Husband is telling you twisting the situation b/c his from Oromo? And did you try yourself one of these ideas? Thanks!

[@ppstar9393]

What a stupid person you are! She talks about business, you bring such garbage ethnicity politics here! Shame on you bro

[@adwaye]

Why are you on here? You are being toxic for no reason. This is for warriors and not fleers who want to critisize.

[@Non-e8j]

It’s tragic Galla’s are destroying Ethiopian culture but Ethiopians are resilient when they’re quite it means they’re preparing the fascist Galla’s that’s replacing Christianity with Islam will be destroyed!

[@adwaye]

Oromos are ethiopian culture. I dont know what your agenda is but you are an embarrassment. Fight against injustice dont run away and flee then talk about ethiopia.

[@kidane6165]

Your rotten full of hate language doesn’t impress her. She is American . She lives here she is enjoying the city period.
