Many travellers associate Senegal with the Door of No Return—the place where over two million Africans passed through Gorée Island on the way to the New World for centuries. While this is certainly a historic feature of the county, there’s so much more to experience.

And world-traveller Terry Lister has proof!

Terry escorts the curious reader along Senegal’s culture-rich coast as he explores national landmarks, stumbles upon unexpected African markets, and makes new friends along the way, notwithstanding debilitating language barriers. Of course, there are the familiar squabbles with border patrolmen and taxi drivers. Yet all these experiences are what make this amusing short-read both educational and unforgettable.

If you’ve got one hour, you’ve got time to travel to Senegal: The Land of Peace and Purpose.
