I
was asked share 10 things about myself by Marion. Here are my answers.
Enjoy!
1. Why did you start blogging?
I initially began blogging properly a few months into my first
trip to Dakar, Senegal during my university placement two years ago. I thought
it was a good way to touch base and keep in contact with family and friends
back home, which it was.
2. What is your blog’s niche or focus?
All of my interests however I try and make Travel and Design the
main focus.
3. What inspired the start of your blog?
I’m not sure what inspired me but I
think it is a good space to express/share my thoughts and interests. I also
like the idea of having a visual back log/diary to look back at.
4. Where is your favorite city or country?
I I'm still very torn between London and Dakar. It’s close
but the city currently live in wins! With that being said I most likely still
haven’t visited my favourite city/country.
5. What country would you like to visit and why?
Ghana! My grandfather was half Ghanaian
and two of my best friends are both oddly enough half Ghanaian. I don’t know why
I haven’t made a trip there yet.
6. What have you done before that you wish you never did?
Life is too short for regrets!
7.What has been the most frustrating thing about starting and running your
blog?
Nothing is frustrating at first, making a start is
the first step. Running a blog comes with factors that don’t always go to plan.
Such as scheduling, planning post, photos, content, being consistent, aiding
traffic. Etc. I think all of those elements are as equally frustrating when it
doesn’t go accordingly.
8. If you could travel to 3 new countries, where would you choose?
Cuba – I would love to see this place. My sister has read much about Cuba, I feel like a visit is due.
Japan - I follow quite a few Japanese blogs and I’m
big fan of the work of Yayoi Kusama and architect Sou Fujimoto. So I can only
imagine the design scene in Japan.
Ghana – ‘The Land of Gold’ is the next country in
West Africa I would like to visit as I mentioned before.

9. Why did you return to Senegal?
After the six months of my internship
in Dakar (2014) had past. I returned back home to finish my degree. I graduated,
I got a graduate job with a architecture firm in London, however my heart
was no longer in London. I still thought about my experience in Dakar every
other day. I felt as if six months was not enough, just as I was settling in I
had to make my way back to the UK. That is why I returned, I have a lot more to learn out here and Dakar has a lot to offer... I had to come back. Dakar (Senegal) has
that effect on people, I am learning.

10. What is your favourite quote?
“A day without laughter is a day
wasted!” I completely agree!
