Hello tuliptree1 and Welcome to Expat.com :)

I have modified the title of your message. 

I would suggest you to browse the other threads on the Dakar forum to have better insights and collect informations.

Can you precise what you are planning to do in Dakar? Is it only for vacancies or on a job purpose?

Thanks

Karen :)

My fiance lives there I'm coming to meet him and be married. and come back to the u.s.a. I'm just scared about gambia.
