I just returned from my journey back home and I most say that I'm in recovery after which i will explain in detail about my experience. I feel like Sierra Leone and I are in an abusive relationship in which i keep going back for more even though it keeps hurting me. It's like loving someone who's addicted to drugs...you keep hoping they'll stop but they dont and you keep on loving anyway.
All in all i enjoyed my time in Sierra Leone, I had wonderful food, kept good company, relaxed, tanned, read, laughed, and drowned myself in the sweetness of Sierra Leone. My bedroom window every morning at 6am received the salat prayer call from the local mosque as i turned over from the puddle of sweat i had amassed during the night. The sleep was deep, peaceful and sweet even in that kind of heat. I spent the majority of my time at home at Boyle Lane, listening to the daily sounds coming from within my home but all from the outside.
As I left on the hovercraft headed for lungi and a 6hour wait at Lungi Airport for my delayed Astraeus flight, I said to a friend beside me "I'm not coming back for a while, i'm tired of this place". She knew I was lying and so did I but we kept silent as the hovercraft woddled away from our dearly beloved.

I am a born-Yank whos going back to manage my family's business there this fall. I am 29 years old, fun and easygoing. My pops is the owner. He lived in America for many years before going back to make a dream come true. Ask about Alafia Point and check it out for yourselves. We have a serene garden right on the beach where live performances take place. And then theres the main bar right across the street where a dj spins the latest tracks and delicious hot food is served with cold star beer or gin or guiness, etc, etc. Alafia Point is also the meetup point for the whos who of Sierra Leone and her expats.
When I am back I will also gladly assist anyone the best I can. We have other services to offer up. For example my pops is a board-certified physician who is now practicing in Africa. We have other businesses that cater to your needs and we have many connections. I would gladly make contacts with anyone going or already there. My email is santigi.k@gmail.com
Good Luck
