Self-proclaimed “nomad-ish” Addis Tesfaye is certainly that - she’s always on the go, and her Instagram travel highlight reels go on for days. From all over Europe, South America, Africa, Asia, and even Iceland, she’s been almost everywhere. She floats in salt lagoons, bikes zip-lines, and surfs down active volcanoes (yes, really) with a true sense of adventure and determination we can’t help but admire. Here is just a small handful of the vast number of places she’s visited.

DESERT ATACAMA, CHILE



SAN SALVADOR, EL SALVADOR



SAN CARLOS, COSTA RICA



SELFOSS, ICELAND



YUCATAN, MEXICO



ANTIOQUIA, COLOMBIA



BALI, INDONESIA
