Today I’m having Urska from Endless Roads travel photography blog to share her amazing postcards from
an absolutely magical place and meet the people who inhabit it!
When
people ask me what is my favorite country or a destination is, I never know
what to answer. Every single one of them is beautiful and different in its own
way. But the country that changed me the most is definitely Ethiopia.
I went on this trip determined to discover another world.
To
see people so different form us, that we can't even imagine. I was prepared for
the cultural shock, yet when it hit me… I was really…shocked! That they looked different and that they had their own
culture and rituals was expected. What deeply amazed me was how
simple and happy life they lived
I
was walking around with a small backpack and yet I was carrying around more
belongings than the entire family owned there! But, they looked like they
didn't miss anything. Having enough water and food to live a comfortable life is
all that actually matters.
To
make things even more interesting we took the longer track, away from all the
tourist and visited a few villages so far away that, basically, no other
traveler has ever visited.
I
was so busy taking photos of these amazing people that I didn't really noticed
the obvious. Only after a while did I realize that they were more surprised to see
us than we were to see them!
That's
when I tried to make some kind of connectin; I showed the photos I’ve taken of
them and they loved it! Especially children kept posing for me and laughing. We
were so different, yet we found a common ground.
