DAKAR, SENEGAL is one of my favorite cities in the world and I’ve been 3 times. It is widely regarded as the fashion capital of West Africa and the outdoor fitness culture along the beach is second only to Rio. I plan my days around the perfect sunsets that happen each evening, when you can drink cocktails on the beach and watch the local surfers. You can also eat the freshest fish, literally caught right out of the ocean and cooked for you on the beach. The nightlife is incredible and the people are exceptionally kind. This is Maya, a local artisan who always makes me laugh, so of course I buy her crafts! 🙂
