What do I need to know before moving to Ethiopia?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Ethiopia, they said...

"Ethiopia is a culturally rich and diverse country with a long and fascinating history. It is important to research the local customs and etiquette before moving to Ethiopia. Expats should also be aware of the local language, Amharic, and consider taking language classes to help with communication. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local climate and the potential for extreme weather conditions. Expats should also be aware of the local healthcare system and consider taking out health insurance. Finally, it is important to research the local cost of living and to budget accordingly," said a member in Ethiopia.
