#Travel is wholesome. It makes you appreciate everything in life. From the beautiful skies lit with stars to the laugh you share with friends and those precious moments by yourself in which you contemplate the wonders of life, travel is just beautiful.

#Happy_Buhe!
This is a festival for childhood wonder. It's the festival of knotted whips, of delicious loaves of bread, of hoya hoye, and of everything good about the rainy season. Buhe is also the festival of adventure and we hope you have some great ones this season.
Happy holidays from @OutdoorEthiopia!

#Wenchi is a heavenly place. But that pristine crater lake at the end of the road doesn't tell the whole story of this beautiful land. You see, what makes Wenchi an irresistible place to visit are its #people. They are some of the loveliest, kindest and funniest people around. Mothers on their way back from the market - #gabaa - tell you a joke or two in between greetings. Little boys and girls hold your hands all the way down to the lake so you wouldn't slip and fall down, or hand you a #stick or two for you to lean on. The men and young boys have their stallions ready for you to mount, all the while giving you their widest grins while strutting next to you. Wenchi's lake is why you visit it the first time, but the people are why you come back every season.

Nobody got poor by giving.
The guy got two hands, one for him and the other for others.
Unfortunately he was using both for me.
An owner of kind gesture and passionated heart, he was helping with no expectation in return. He was my two feet for the ups and downs there. ME was really ashamed of myself why I was thinking how much should I payβ¦β¦β¦. teaches me a lot.
Dear ALEX I owe you β I swear.
Pencils do not lie!!! This is my heartfelt feeling!!!~Saba

Among the rocks, gorges and steaming valleys of the Portuguese Bridge site - among the trees, shrubs and rivers of the Shoa highlands, we hiked, walking, clambering, jumping and climbing up and down footpaths. This was an adventure worthy of the name. See you on September 5th for something even more epic. GET READY!!!
