In this episode of The Blog Readings, I read one of my earliest posts, titled; Getting a Free Lunch in The Gambia. I was inspired to read this post after having a chance to reflect on my service as a Peace Corps volunteer in The Gambia earlier this week. I was interviewed by Ray Benedetti and Matt Sams from the OutrageU.S. podcast. And during our talk they asked me about my experience for an upcoming episode that they will be releasing. Now I won’t spoil anything, but our conversation really got me thinking about some of the challenges that I faced while living in West Africa. And how it wasn’t always easy for me to fulfill my most basic needs. But through the kindness of many Gambians that I came across, I never went hungry. So to go along with that, I decided to read this post that I wrote which talks about food in The Gambia. I hope you like it and find it insightful!
