Abidjan
During my solo trip to Abidjan, I had a wonderful experience. The people of Ivory Coast were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to lend a helping hand. I truly appreciated their kindness and the sense of community that encourages helping strangers. Throughout my stay, I felt safe and at ease, with everything going smoothly. It was a memorable journey filled with warmth and positivity.
