Sent of Senegal: Smiling Africa

Another s-guide to travel that the author uses as an excuse to narrate his time spent in Senegal, an extraordinary country balanced between sea and earth. Here, he seeks the people who inhabit it, their habits and coasts. Alongside the classic directions for trip planning, it also offers tales, encounters, impressions, emotions, and experiences gathered firsthand. A journey in a tender and challenging country at the same time, where one can happen upon by chance. I tried to engage with the people more than succumbing to the charm of the places. Thus, people and places, Saly, Mbour, St. Louis, overlapped and gave rise to stories, sometimes delicate, sometimes harsh, carrying a particular fragrance, that scent of Africa, the primordial motherland from which we all come and which manages to enchant with its color, its sounds, and its ancient voices. A journey of the heart rather than the mind, to get lost a little along the roads of caravans, the old colonial cities, the baobab forests, the villages of the bush, full of poverty and smiles. An invitation to better understand everything that lies behind the golden strip of beaches on the ocean.A read more than a mere reference. The book also features several photos by the author.
