Ever since I started working in travel, Ethiopia settled itself in the back of my mind as the<br />
ultimate “naya” destination. Growing up on the opposite side of Africa, I was intrigued by this<br />
seemingly different and mysterious country that shared my continent. As a university student<br />
of comparative religion, I studied Abyssinia’s colossal past, its millennia of history intertwined<br />
with the spread of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. I marveled at Ethiopia’s knack for keeping to its own<br />
on a continent that was ravished by colonization.<br />
After launching Naya <strong>Travel</strong>er a year and a half ago with a portfolio of destinations that highlight the<br />
‘places we call home,’ my partners and I were faced with the exciting challenge to determine where to<br />
explore next. Our travel philosophy is deeply rooted in the value of rich culture and heritage, and thus, it<br />
was almost too easy to agree on Ethiopia.<br />
