Wonder What Thailand Was Like Pre-Tourists? Head To Sierra Leone

Want to working experience for by yourself the perception of discovery like your traveling forbearers did? You’ve read the tales prior to (most possible from that large school science teacher that experienced a pony tail or from that uncle that displays up for Xmas every 3 a long time): The Hippie Trail in the 󈨀’s, Thailand/Bali in the 70’s — these famed locations pre-Lonely Earth where the society was real, the Speedo-donning vacationer was non-existent, and the experience was authentic. It may perhaps be getting even extra hard now with the increase of the internet to keep a desired destination solution — ahem — but don’t blame the messenger.

In any case, it’s challenging not to feel of Sierra Leone and West Africa as 1 of these secrets and techniques. Fearful off by a distant war and reasonably challenging accessibility (be all set to consider a speedboat from your airport), Sierra Leone’s way off the nicely-beaten-route for most tourists, despite its wonderful — but vacant — beach locations, Freetown — “a person of the prettiest city on the West African coast,” and a possibility to encounter that magical feeling of discovery (and to say you had been there in the 󈧄’s — that’s so awkward to say isn’t it?).

I observed The Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars at the African Tunes Competition below in Brooklyn two summers back and I’ve acquired to say, if these men don’t transform you on to Afro-Pop than there’s one thing clinically mistaken with you.
