"I came to Gambia alone but I was never really alone. My Gambian family opened their home hearts and culture to me. From shared meals to endless laughter they made everything feel easier. This is what real community looks like. Grateful beyond words @Barros Barrow ❤😂"

"Not the Africa you see on the news. This is Gambia simple real alive. Let me show you my version. 🌍✨"

"I crossed into a country most people dont even know exists. Its called Guinea-Bissau and I got here from Gambia for just XX. Minibuses from Brikama (Gambia) to the Senegalese border to Ziguinchor and then one more car straight to Bissau. A lot of people are scared of crossing borders in Africa me too at first. But honestly if you go the local way with public transport its usually way simpler and more stress-free. Sure African borders can depend on who you show your passport to but for me its always been smooth so far. Hope it stays that way. #travelwestafrica #travelafrica #backpackingafrica"
