About the Book

"Why would anyone even think of going to North Ethiopia?" The first question asked by people when told you are planning a visit; before moving along to, "But there is a war between Ethiopia and Eritrea, famine, terrorists, and poverty. Why would you want to put yourself in that kind of danger?" Really good questions, and, unfortunately, most of this was true at one time or another. Don't these people also know that Ethiopia has excellent food, good hotels, friendly people and is now safe to visit? In-the-know travelers visit South Ethiopia for its unique tribes, and travel the Historical Circuit in North Ethiopia, to see the most unique churches in the world; hewn out of rock, connected by tunnels, resembling an underground Petra! This Ethiopian Orthodox Christian area has: symbolic graves for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the Star of David on church ceilings; paintings of Jesus Christ and Noah's Ark together; is the reputed resting place of The Ark of the Covenant; and then throw in King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba for good measure. You'll have trouble deciding where the Old Testament stopped and the New Testament began. The Ethiopian Church claims that Christianity came to Aksum during the time of the apostles, predates the Vatican; and... There is also wildlife. The most famous being the Gelada Baboon, called the "Bleeding Heart Baboon" because they have a large, red patch on their chests and lion-like manes! Let Travels With Sheila teach you how to Travel the World on a Budget, share exotic locations with you known only to locals, and most importantly, ease your fears about languages, currencies, personal safety and staying healthy. Follow her advice to avoid making mistakes she learned the hard way. HERE'S SOME OF THE INFORMATION YOU'LL FIND INSIDE... - Important Tips for Traveling in Ethiopia. - The Dos and Don'ts of Planning A Trip to North Ethiopia. - How to See The Best of North Ethiopia. Now, Travels With Sheila tells it like it is with personalized, up-to-date information and photographs. Even though "religious" will never describe her, it was impossible not to get swept up in the almost messianic fervor! If you want see some of the most unusual sights in the world,
About the Author: Sheila Simkin, a native Chicagoan, has been traveling the world since 1960. The travel bug first hit on her honeymoon in Miami. Fidel Castro had just taken over Cuba and lured by rock-bottom prices, Sheila sweet-talked her ex-husband into abandoning Miami for Cuba. That marked the beginning of her lifetime travel passion and addiction. There are very few countries that are not on her to-see list no matter how remote and/or difficult they may be with many, "What was I thinking of" moments in hindsight. The U.S. State Department recognizes 193 independent countries and she has visited over 150 in over 40 years of travel (but...who's counting). Touring, hiking, trekking, rafting, snowshoeing, skiing, volunteering on archaeological digs, family trips and, she must admit, occasionally sitting on a beach and compulsively shopping. Her goal is to encourage you to take the big step and travel to more exotic, remote destinations with tips, anecdotes and reassurance that, yes, you will come back alive. Visit her "travelswithsheila" channel on YouTube to watch over 1,400 videos filmed around the world and covering the gamut from taking a cruise to camping in Egypt's desert, food (fried tarantulas, anyone?), sights and even instructions on how to navigate subways in Paris and Beijing. All Travels With Sheila Guides will tell you the truth, and only the whole truth, about each country and whether sights are a hit, or a miss. Follow Sheila's advice to avoid making mistakes she learned the hard way. For example, not knowing that an important piece of equipment when camping or trekking is...an AIR MATTRESS? A never to be forgotten experience spent in a sleeping bag on the cold, hard ground of Nepal. And what kind of crazy idiot goes trekking in Siberia and gets lost? Really...lost in Siberia? Only Sheila. Happy traveling!
