    I’m moving to Senegal next month. Thanks for making this video. I have been traveling to Senegal since 2000. My husband is Senegalese. We’ve decided to retire in Senegal. I just needed to here some encouraging words from another AA.

    I truly appreciate the transparency of this video. A couple of days ago the desire I had for a long time to move to Africa but squashed recently resurfaced. I'm researching Senegal that is how I came across your video. Although this is a very big undertaking that is somewhat having me doubt myself I've decided to trust the Most High and take it one day at a time.

    Salaam Sister. I feel the same way about Gambia like you feel for Senegal. Gambia use to be part of Senegal. I just took my shahadah in 2021 in Gambia but did not practice it here in America. I am going back to Gambia next month (March) and I will be getting married. I am very excited and thank you for your videos

    Thank you sooo much for this video. I’m moving to Senegal this year! I really need someone to talk to before I schedule my flights I have 2 children. I would like to know about the yellow fever and visas. I had plans for Nigeria but the place is just all over the place with constantly hanging up everything so to save myself a headache heartache I said NO I can’t do it! I am coming to Senegal 🇸🇳💛😁

      No visa’s needed for Senegal, if coming from America. Yellow fever was not an issue for us, there was no required vaccine.

      Prices vary depending on location & amenities in the apartment. We stayed in a two bedroom two bathroom America’s style (flushing toilets, air conditioning, all kitchen appliances included) apartment in Kaolack and we paid about $700 a month, but had to pay the whole years rent in advance.

    Are you aware of how bad the health, health care system, air and food is there? Dakar has some of the most toxic air in the world. All of that is way worst than the U.S. Even their rates of C Sections is way higher than in the U.S.

      Thanks for sharing. Yeah I went to Senegal twice before moving and I know that it’s no Utopia, but neither is the US. There is no perfect place on earth, it’s all about your perspective. Anytime you move anywhere, you’re just trading one set of issues and problems for another.
      I am so grateful that I am able to move just about anywhere I want to on earth and experience different lands and cultures and ways of life. It’s very eye-opening and it keeps me humble and grateful.

      @@travelingummi9683 The U.S. is not a Utopia but the air quality, health care system and food quality and access is 5000 times better. Have you ever researched just how toxic that air is in Dakar? You can't feel the difference? If you research it you will be shocked at what you find. Living there is literally bad for your health in every way.
