📍 Bamako, Mali | The Pulse of West Africa

After nearly a week here, I finally have a moment to reflect. Mali is one of the world’s least developed countries—conflict, poverty, disease—you name it. Yet here, I’ve begun to truly understand what "survival" means. 🇲🇱 Bamako’s streets: A whirlwind of dust and roaring motorbikes 🏍 People living simply, but with smiles more genuine than in many "developed" nations These days have left me exhausted, awed, and unexpectedly moved. The cultural gaps, the harsh conditions... yet somehow, I’m adapting. This journey may not be "beautiful," but it will be unforgettable. Here’s to facing each challenge with grit—and discovering a different version of myself in this corner of the world the West forgot. #LifeInAfrica #Mali #Bamako 🌍✨
