My Trip to Dakar- Teranga Bi

By: Habiba Cooper Diallo

I visited Dakar between the 12th and 23rd of February. The trip was so much fun! Dakar is a lovely city made up of lovely people and places. Next time, I'll have to visit Senegal's other cities. 

Un grand merci à mes hôtes d'avoir rendu mon séjour profitable.
