Thank you very much. I am considering moving to Abene, though I have more friends and family in Gambia. I come from the bush in Australia and I love the forest in Casamance and I have a few friends there. But I cannot speak French! I can speak a bit of Mandinka, very little Wolof, a tiny bit of Susu, and say hello in Jola and Fula, so it will be difficult. Gambia is easier for me, I have many many friends and close family there, but I just love Abene. It is only a motorbike, pirogue and a couple of cars to my friends in Gambia. For Australians it is not far! I travel 40 km to get to the shops here in Australia! I usually live in local accomodation with local people when I am staying in West Africa, and I am used to not having electricity or running water in the house or cooking etc. I do not have much income, and may have none. I need a way to feed myself and the inevitable group that will be around me. This is my other big problem. I hope to be back there soon, I am homesick for Africa.

Hello,

I'm Beryl from Kenya and will be moving to Dakar probably in a month's time. I'm currently trying to learn as much as i can about Senegal; Dakar to be specific: standards and cost of living, housing, entertainment...anything and everything. I would really appreciate to get in touch with anyone who can assist in getting this information.

I speak English, French and Swahili :-)

Hello,

I am Tiffany. Just moved to Dakar and am excited to meet new people and explore the city. I am interested in learning Wolof; French has never been a friend of my tongue. Either way, I speak English and Spanish and am willing to learn any languages that come my way!

Hi

I moved to Dakar at the beginning of September 2014 from my native Zambia.
Did a one year Expat stint in South Africa in the late nineties and a five year stint in Botswana in the 2000's.
I am Anglican. Would be grateful if someone could point me to an Anglican Church.
I do hope the blog has a "what's on" section. I missed the Octoberfest

.
My interests - weekend travel to new places; horse riding; EPL (ManU); scrabble; pool (snooker); braai and whiskey!; and I love the Atlantic!
Open to new ideas.
Speak only English at the moment. Plan for French lessons soon.
