In early 2019 I found myself fresh out of a break-up and in need of some epic adventures to help me rebuild a bit of self-confidence.

I don’t know where I first learned about the Danakil Depression. For so many places, I remember the Instagram posts, the blogs and the documentaries that have inspired me to visit, but the Danakil?
