This is the introductory article in a live series from Senegal. I will leave tomorrow, January 1, 2026. And I will witness my adventure by making short videos. The music in the background will always be by my friend Wodevi . Also because he was the one who somehow gave me the okay for the destination.

Why live from Senegal

I had wanted to go to Nepal, but because of unrest in the Asian country, the choice fell to another of the destinations I had assumed would be good for 10 days at this time of year.

The sixty-fourth country I will visit will also be the first in the only macro zone of the world that I had not yet explored solo.

Although Senegal is considered the safest country in sub-Saharan Africa, I think it will be quite adventurous as a trip. One reason is because I will be going alone and totally on my own, the other is because I will be traveling by public transportation. In this regard I have had very amusing anticipations.

Since there will be a series of videos, here is the one on map from my you tube channel of the route I will take.

First setback

Meanwhile, the first twist came even before I left. In the featured photo what I should take with me apart from clothing, but in fact as many as 2 essential items are forbidden to me.

Only yesterday I realized that I had purchased airline tickets with carry-on baggage only. To have that in the hold they are asking me for 177 Euro, so in theory I could not carry my 30 Euro mosquito killer or even sunscreen for the equator, because liquids in containers larger than 100 ml.

Ho sempre avuto tante passioni, ma da sempre più o meno latenti, le principali sono viaggiare e scrivere. Tra le altre cose ho una laurea in psicologia; ho fatto per più di 30 anni l’allenatore di basket; leggo tanti libri; sono stato molto appassionato di sport e di musica rock; e faccio improvvisazione teatrale. IL mio primo romanzo, che non parla di viaggi, si chiama LE TUE GAMBE SONO BELLE COME LE TAGLIATELLE
