Live, work, and breathe Africa without burning your runway.
Pierce Margin designs long‑stay experiences for remote workers and founders — where your Wi‑Fi, home base, and weekend escapes are already figured out.
- Comfortable serviced living with the essentials — bed, workstation, storage, and soft landing.
- Utilities, fast internet, and healthy meals built into your stay.
- Curated monthly adventures so “maybe next weekend” actually happens.
How it works
Three simple steps to go from “thinking about Ethiopia” to actually settling in and getting work done.
Tell us how you live and work
You share your budget, work needs, and the kind of space you feel good in. Think of it like onboarding, but for your lifestyle.
We match you to a stay
You get options for housing, internet setup, and add-ons like airport pickup, activities, and wellness support.
Land, plug in, start living
Arrive to a functional base — not a guessing game. Work during the day, then switch into “you’re in Africa” mode after hours.
What you get with Pierce Margin
A living setup that respects your work, health, and need for adventure — all in one place.
Affordable, “feels like home” housing
Accommodation tailored to your standards and budget — not generic short‑stay listings. Each space comes with a proper bed, closet, workstation, and a living area you actually want to be in.
Utilities & workspace sorted
Internet, electricity, and water are set up for normal remote‑work use, so you don’t need to chase bills or technicians. Tell the team if you are a heavy user and they’ll calibrate a plan.
Healthy food by default
Most meals are cooked from natural, local ingredients. No reliance on processed meats, refined oils, or sugary packaged drinks — just fresh, energising food.
Built‑in experiences
Curated monthly activities — from hiking and camping to networking evenings — keep you from falling into the “I’ll explore later” trap.
On‑ground support
Local liaisons, drivers, and medical contacts give you a safety net so you are not navigating everything alone in a new country.
Room to stay longer
The model is tuned for 1–6 month stays, so pricing and setup make sense for people who want to pause, build, and breathe — not just pass through.
Life in Ethiopia, as a nomad
What it actually feels like to base yourself in Ethiopia as a remote professional.
Affordable comfort
Daily costs for housing, food, and essentials stretch your currency further, so you can stay longer without cranking your rates overnight.
Warm, human culture
Ethiopia is deeply social and community‑driven. Expect genuine hosts, neighbourly energy, and the famous coffee ceremony woven into daily life.
Healthcare access
Private clinics, pharmacies, and specialists in cities like Addis Ababa provide reliable, reasonably priced care when you need it.
Nature & adventure
From crater lakes and mountains to waterfalls and wildlife, weekend adventures are a drive away — not a long‑haul flight.
Food & nightlife
Between injera, stews, juices, and global cuisine, eating well is easy. Cafés, lounges, and music spots keep evenings interesting.
