    ♡ what inspired my family’s move to the gambia?
    - to sum it up, my parents always wanted to move to a country in africa, & after someone suggested gambia to them, they took a trip over here back in 2015 for vacation. the following year, we packed up everything we had & moved to the gambia, west africa all the way from little old clarksville, tennessee! crazy..right? 😅
    ♡ how old am i?
    - I’m currently 23, turning 24 October 11th!
    ♡ what camera do i use?
    - iPhone 11 Pro Max & canon g7x mark ii
    ♡ what editing system do i use?

    ♡ Will i ever move back to the states?
    - At the moment, I don’t think so. I really love traveling & I feel there’s so much more to see & experience in this world than what is limited to us in the US.

      @@rickidenise no.there is no such thing as west African wedding because west Africa is a region not a tribe, nationality or ethnicity. A region with so many different cultures. Weddings differ from tribe to tribe, from country to country. Nobody say things like westerner European wedding or North American wedding. So why do that to Africa?.when it come to Africa people always generalise. Is lasy and ignorant.

    Ricki, you've been in the Gambia for so long and you have not bought in to the country and culture yet.Look at your attire at a Gambian wedding.I do not even want to talk about your lack of effort to learn any of the local languages especially when you did some of your high school in The Gambia.
