[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

How many foreign travelers did you see in Ethiopia? And how's the wifi? Are you uploading these from there or have you moved on?

[@ChristianTeshome]

hey my bro you can find wi fi on several hotels around town, especially in Addis, the capital city. You can also buy a 3g/4g sim. 700mb -> 60 birrs(2.2USD) at the moment

[@IndigoTraveller]

I saw the odd Traveller, very rare though. WiFi is terrible. Only 3g some cards but owned by government and extremely unreliable internet, see my video called shocked in Ethiopia, I talk about internet there🙏

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool man, good to know, I'll have to watch that one. Sounds like a good place to have one of those mobile hotspot devices, there's one called Solis that has been recommended. Although I'm not sure how it works, if it uses cell signals then maybe it's still slow there anyway. Whenever I turn my phone into a hotspot here in Greece to get internet it's super slow.

[@IndigoTraveller]

Hotspot is fast if your provider is fast that's all it depends on. If you use mobile wifi in Ethiopia it will most likely still be slow but worth a shot I guess!

[@debjyotidutta6287]

oh gaby very few peoples are skeptical abt ethiopia ...... but you will love it if you follow map and make new places to explore ...meaning its night life restoras are very basic and u need a person to take you places onceu inn ull do great also lots of unchartered places

Your journeys are so amazing and this is no exception. What a cool castle and what friendly people! Thank you so much for bringing us together with Ethiopia! 👍🏼✌🏼💗

[@carracer2002]

When you play Indian music for your travels in Ethiopia. Definitely agree that you should use traditional music from the country that your visiting rather than another random one

[@SabrinaXe]

Jimmy Borden because American music is not only listened by Americans. They're listened by people all over the world.

[@veryclairely9312]

Solo-female traveler here! So many of these places you visit are high on my bucket list. I am heading into Africa this winter, but the furthest east I've been is eastern Turkey. I loveeee the eastern vibe and am itching to go to Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan, particularly. I think the scariest part for me is vlogging in public...of all things, I just can't bring myself to do it as it it feels sooo weird talking to myself. I am learning a lot from you! Stay safe and warm wherever you go, and may you always eat well!

[@xpertyt4299]

If you're still in Ethiopia, you should probably go to Axum, That is where the kingdom of Axum was created, it is a very ancient statue there, very beautiful place as well

[@ruthshibeshi4345]

So wild man, not another tourist in sight! Amazing to see you making your way around Africa too, not enough people do it. I had a really cool experience today in Laos; playing pétanque (or bochie) with the locals. Spent like 5 hours playing, drinking and eating with them, even learning a bit of the language. Spending time with the local people is for sure one of the best parts of travel! Enjoy dude x

[@belizeguy]

As always , this was awesome! Lots of folks I know go to All Inclusive Resorts nearby and think that they have visited Mexico . Not until you do like you are doing here ! One of my fondest memories here was of a trip across town a new friend took us on in the back of a horse drawn cart. Not one of those passenger deals, but a real farm cart. He was taking us to meet the lady I would eventually buy this property from and she reminds me every time I see her that I arrived in a farm cart, so she had to listen to me , and even though she was reluctant to , she sold me this place we live in !

[@IndigoTraveller]

Nice experience, that is a very cool story. Thanks for sharing

[@davidarmitage289]

Beautiful castle.. I never would have thought they would have them in Ethiopia

[@ancarwillis9060]

David Armitage yea it’s crazy that people don’t realize just how much culture is hidden in this place. There’s a reason Ethiopians are specifically mentioned in the Bible. The Entire area was at the center of African development for a long time and its one of the few countries not to be officially colonized. If you want to see some true African cities you should look at Somalia. I wouldn’t recommend visiting but they have some of unique styles as well.

I'm ethiopian (but I don't live there), this looks beautiful. can't wait for my solo travel there (:

Solo travelling as a girl in Ethiopia is super tough, especially when you're Habesha. Definetly bring a friend

[@Cool_cat007]

Why especially? I figured it would be easier because of that..

[@ntotheaomi1]

It is easier in the sense of communicating but definitely meet up with family down there. This was a couple years back since I went but I remember my experience being around 15-16 a lot of the habesha men in the predominant area's where all the guys hang out would be very disrespectful (but it's the norm for them) to grab you if needed and all that. I feel like all that craziness really only happens in Addis though, not too sure about the other cities.

That was a great shoe shine, I have visited seven African countries and just as you did Nick I also give the locals more than they ask for. Once had a street kid in Kenya try to take my watch off, so I grabbed him and you should have seen his face when I gave him a few shillings he was a happy little boy.

[@_S.H_]

Not too far from where you traveled in northern Ethiopia is the city of Aksum, where many believe is the location of the Ark of Covenant. Maybe you knew that but avoided going there because it has tourists. Oh, and about that weather, is it always like that across the year?
