Life in Senegal

Post new topic

JTHam

Hello All,

I am interested in settling in West Africa during my retirement years which is not due for several years now. But I am interested in exploring possibilities. My questions include best places to live, locations of most African Americans, safety, coastal areas, etc. Any thing you can share would be appreciated.

I lived in Senegal while serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I really miss the country and would love to come back in some capacity. Again any nuggets of experience you can share would be appreciated.

Regards,
James
