I’m Abdou from The Gambia, a land where the sun always seems to shine a little brighter and the rhythm of life is as vibrant as the traditional drumming we’re known for. Born and raised here with parents from different corners of the globe, I’ve developed a deep love for the unique blend of cultures that make up my homeland.

I study law and history, which feeds my curiosity about our rich past and the ever-evolving present. My adventures have taken me through nine countries in West and North Africa, and I’ve called Saint Louis, Senegal, home before returning to my roots in The Gambia. With a history of hosting travelers in Senegal, I’m thrilled to now offer the same warm welcome right here in my home country.

Life in The Gambia is a tapestry of color, sound, and flavor. From our bustling markets filled with the aroma of spices and fresh produce to our serene riverbanks where the sunset paints the sky with hues of orange and pink, there’s so much to experience. I’m not just here to show you the sights; I want to immerse you in our culture and traditions.

Imagine dancing to the beats of the kora, a traditional West African harp, or sharing stories around a bowl of domoda, our delicious groundnut stew. Or perhaps you’ll join in a lively festival where the whole village comes together to celebrate with music, dance, and laughter.

Beyond my guiding work, I am deeply involved in a charity organization in Senegal that supports street kids, providing them with opportunities and care. This work has been incredibly fulfilling and has given me a profound appreciation for the power of community and compassion.

With my own car, I can take you on spontaneous adventures, from local parties to hidden gems off the beaten path. Whether you’re keen to explore our bustling capital, Banjul, or the tranquil beauty of our rural villages, I’m here to make your experience unforgettable.

Traveling has taught me so much about the world, and I believe that sharing these experiences helps us grow closer. So let’s connect, learn from each other, and make lasting memories. I’m excited to show you the beauty of The Gambia, its traditions, and its people. Let’s embark on this journey together and make the world a little bit smaller and a lot more joyful!

Looking forward to meeting you and sharing the magic of The Gambia!

Warm regards,
Abdou

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

It’s simple. I believe in the power of genuine connections and shared experiences. Couchsurfing is a fantastic platform to meet people from all walks of life, share stories, and learn from each other. By hosting travelers, I get to bring a piece of my culture to you and gain insights into yours. It’s about creating a space where we can exchange ideas, share laughter, and make the world feel a little smaller and more connected.
