Senegal is certainly off the beaten path. It’s not normally known as a high-end tourist destination. However, there’s a lot to like about this West Africa nation. The country has over 330 miles of sparkling beaches. Here includes fantastic seafood and a vibrant lifestyle. The capital of Dakar is bustling in the best sense of the term. One can find yummy local cuisine, native art, and all sorts of new world/old world charm for a much cheaper price than any major European city. Without question, this country is a hidden gem.
