I recently traveled to Lomé, Togo, and had a mixed but overall positive experience. While some locals were incredibly nice and helpful, I did encounter a few who expected payment for their assistance. However, the nonprofit organization I visited during my humanitarian efforts, was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making my time there rewarding.
