After rock scrambling up for over an hour with bar

Oh hello Ethiopia you wild, wonderful, wowstatic (

$Oh hello Ethiopia you wild, wonderful, wowstatic (yes it’s a word... I’ve just made up) whirlwind of a country. This is Dallol, a bubbling sulphur landscape that sits at the bottom of a volcano next to a salt lake in the hottest, driest place on earth... the Danakil Depression. It’s as bonkers and brilliant as it sounds and represents just a fraction of how utterly unique Ethiopia is. ... Was looking back at my travel memories today and realised it’s exactly 3 years since I made my first trip to this incredible African nation as part of my massive overland journey from Cape Town to Cairo. ... Having literally never met anyone who’d been to this country, and having zero idea of what to expect when I rolled in there, I was just blown away. Sometimes no expectations are the best. I ended up spending a month there and cried almost every day because it was too magical for words. ... Needless to say, I fell head over heels for this hugely diverse and hugely underrated country and was so in love that I’ve returned again and again and have even written an eBook travel guide to encourage others to go discover its treasures too! ... If you like coffee that will blow your mind, hiking that will take you breath away, traditional culture so rich you can taste it and natural landscapes that leave you weeping with their beauty, than can I recommend you put Ethiopia on your bucket list ASAP! ... Ever thought about travelling in Ethiopia before? Have I convinced you to go yet?!$

Have I got a fight on my hands? Who else is a Wales lover? Or wannabe lover?

I’ve weirdly become obsessed with ensuring I do
