Last year, a friend of mine visited The Gambia during her studies, and this year she decided to come back with a friend. Meaning that I had the opportunity to join them in The Smiling Coast of The Gambia! The Gambia lies literally within Senegal, and since I was already in Senegal, I decided to just go on a new adventure. In this post you’ll be able to read all about this new adventure!

SNTWSTD in Porto Novo, Santo Antão
In this post, I will take you to Porto Novo in Santo Antão.
The reason as to why it took so long: #BLCKGRLinAsia. Check out the mini-series about my trip to China, Laos and Thailand if you are interested! So, early July, I went to Mindelo in São Vicente, Cabo Verde and after a few days, we decided to cross the Canal de São Vicente and visit Porto Novo on the island of Santo Antão. In this post, I will tell you all about the beautiful city of Porto Novo in Santo Antão. Keep reading!

SNTWSTD in Mindelo, São Vicente (1/2)
Finally! The long awaited post about my trip to Cabo Verde or Cape Verde has arrived! Welcome to Part One of Mindelo, São Vicente in Cabo Verde. The only reason it took so long for me to publish was due to the fact that I have been publishing my #BLCKGRLinAsia mini-series about my trip to China, Laos and Thailand. I did not want to mix the separate adventures and decided to wait until I published my last episode last week. Please, do check out my #BLCKGRLinAsia-miniserie if you are interested!
So, early July, I went to Cabo Verde for the first time. I have always wanted to go, since I have been going to Senegal a lot in the past couple of years. Also, I have Cabo Verdeans in my family and Cabo Verde is our neighbouring country after all. In this post, I will tell you all about the beautiful city of Mindelo in São Vicente. Keep on reading!
SNTWSTD going to Cabo Verde
Yes! You read that right :). I am going on a family vacation to Cabo Verde and I am very excited! I am also excited to share my experiences in Cabo Verde with you.
We plan to first visit Mindelo on the island of São Vicente. We will stay in Porto Novo, the capital of Santo Antão, the island nearest to São Vicente. After a couple of days we will head back to Mindelo where we’ll stay for the remainder of our trip before heading back to Amsterdam.
African Business Day 2017
Yesterday, I went to the African Business Day 2017 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands at the Erasmus University. I already went last year, so I had already an idea of how it would be and how well-organized the event actually is. And since I wrote a blogpost about last year’s event, (which you can find here) I am writing one about this year’s event! As I mentioned in the other blogpost, it is important to share experiences and reflect on events. After all, “I aspire to inspire others by sharing my experiences”. So, if you are curious about who were speakers at the African Business Day 2017, keep on reading! Trust me, you’d want to know!
