Phoenix Rose Trek

In a few hours we will be leaving Senegal for an overnight flight to Casablanca, then Montreal. What a remarkable, unforgettable experience! We combined our strengths to work as a team. We are proud for having pushed ourselves out of our comfort zone and taken on this epic challenge! The incredible woman we have met and their courage to take on this trek while fighting cancer was inspirational!!
We are also proud to share that we finished 6th out of 56 teams!!! Not bad for a last minute team that was reading the final details on orienteering and the guidelines of this competition in the bus ride on the way to the desert!! 🤭😝 Now the question is… where next?!? 😉

Our third day in Senegal and last one before heading to the desert tomorrow morning! We visited the Bandia reserve and then, while walking through the town of la Somone, visited a local elementary school.

Second day in Senegal, we went to visit the capital Dakar and the island of Gorée. It was an impactful visit to this UNESCO world heritage site which played a central role in the sad history of slavery.

Nous sommes arrivées au Sénégal hier soir!! Fatiguées mais heureuses d’être ici! Nous avons eu une bonne nuit de sommeil et sommes prêtes à explorer.
