After entering The Gambia, I continued towards Banjul, the country’s small but lively capital. The city felt very different from Dakar.

Every journey begins with a dream…, and this is mine.
Dust, Dreams, and Freedom — the beginning of a story written on the open roads of Africa.
A journey into the wild, into solitude, and into myself. No plans. No promises. Just the road, the wind, and the call of the unknown.
