POV: Entering a train in ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA 🇪🇹

$0,11 SKY TRAIN in ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA 🇪🇹

I have to admit, I did not expect to see this in Ethiopia! 🚋

I read about the metro system here and decided to use it to get to the city center. I paid 20 Birr for the ticket, which is about $0.11. Apparently, it used to be just 4 cents, so they did a massive price hike, but it's still probably one of the cheapest transport systems in the world! (I think they just charge foreigners the maximum fare, but at 11 cents, I’m not complaining! 😅).

And then you see what you get for it: super modern trains, maybe even more modern than in Western Europe where I live in Belgium! 🇧🇪 It’s very efficient because in the center it’s elevated (overground), so it never gets stuck in traffic.

When I entered, everyone was looking at me since I was the only white person there, but people were very friendly and helpful. It was actually a very quiet and pleasant ride, not chaotic at all. It’s a clean, fast, and super efficient way to beat the traffic jams in Addis Ababa.

I was really positively surprised by this transport system. What an amazing city! ❤️

The LOWEST POINT in AFRICA 🌍 (DJIBOUTI)

Football with a view in Addis Ababa! 🏟️🇪🇹

I was exploring the center of Addis Ababa when I noticed a football game going on in the stadium right in the middle of the city. I went to find the entrance, and to my surprise, they just let me in for free on the main stands! 🏟️⚽

I took a seat right between the non-selected players and the team representatives and enjoyed a match in the highest football division of Ethiopia. It was such a cool experience to be right in the mix of it all.

The best part was the view. It was beautiful watching the game while seeing the city life happen all around the stadium: the skyline, the people walking by, and the tram passing in the background. It is such a great location!

I know they are building a new, bigger stadium elsewhere, and I’d love to check that out once it's finished, but this vibe was special. 🇪🇹🚋

The LOWEST POINT in AFRICA 🇩🇯 (Lake Assal)

First impressions of ADDIS ABABA: Wow! 🤯🇪🇹

I honestly didn't expect the city to be this modern. I was prepared for it to be hectic and chaotic, but it is actually super comfortable and chill.

There are amazing cafes, great restaurants, and the people are so friendly. Plus, the prices are really low! I am absolutely loving the vibe here and can't wait to see more. 🎒✨

Goodbye Djibouti, Hello Ethiopia! 🇩🇯✈️🇪🇹

Djibouti was my 112th country, and to be honest, I didn't know much about it before arriving. The first few days in the capital were pretty chill (though expensive), but the real beauty was when I rented a car and headed out of the city. I found the "Grand Canyon of Djibouti" and Lake Assal, the lowest point in Africa. These were honestly some of the most impressive and unexpected places I've seen in the whole world! 🚙✨

However, leaving wasn't so easy. First, I was refused on the train to Ethiopia. Then, soon after, I was refused on the plane to Somaliland, which was a huge disappointment because I had prepared all my documents and research so well. 😔 But hey, that's how traveling in Africa is sometimes!

I’m just happy that I could eventually fly to Addis Ababa and get a visa on arrival. I’m super excited for this next chapter. Let's go! 🎒🌍
