It’s strange to write this post because this is the last post that I will write in Dakar, Senegal. My four months here have been interesting and definitely a learning experience. I had my high and low moments but overall, I enjoyed my experience. I loved living with my host family, all-around warm weather, interacting with Senegalese people, and just experiencing life in another country. I’m still in the process of packing, say goodbye, and getting myself to realize that I’m leaving this place.

I will definitely miss Senegal but I know that another adventure is waiting for me soon.

Until next time,

Su
