Living in Assela, Ethiopia is no easy feat. The town of 139,537 residents sits at a lofty 2,430 meters elevation, with a subtropical highland climate that brings persistent rainfall during the wettest months. While Assela boasts a rich history and has produced many world-class long-distance runners, the bureaucratic headaches and logistical challenges of living here are a persistent reality. Those seeking the quiet, rural charms of central Ethiopia may find Assela a suitable home, but the town's remoteness and lack of modern infrastructure mean it's not for the faint of heart.
