Round Two


     I spent the holidays in Britain and it was everything I hoped it would be: family, cheer, hot showers, a chance to tell a few of my crazy stories, an exhalation after months of bated breath. I anticipated leaving this happy scene with difficulty, that the idea of Senegal would seem to be an abyss of the unknown. Fortuitously, the words of a vendor I chatted with some months ago proved true: "Mother Africa is jealous, you know, she never really lets go."


On Packing

What should you bring to Senegal? Well...

The Gambia

During my internship at Keur Samba Guèye I was lucky enough to be able to squeeze in a trip to the Gambia with some truly excellent travel companions, Kelly and Mollie. Reflecting on the trip overall, I keep coming back to the fact that man, did we luck out.
