So for over two years, due to Covid , I haven’t been able to do the work I usually do, namely evaluating health projects in West Africa. But now I’m back in a small coastal country for 10 days and I feel a huge sigh of relief like I’m home ( I’m white and born in rural England by the way, but have lived /worked in Africa for 30 years and feel it’s where I fit in !). I have no urge to drink and to top it all my smart watch congratulated me on my 8 hrs sleep each night which I NEVER get in the UK. I love my work here… it’s fun and interesting and life, for all its hardships, is so ‘real’…I feel 100x more relaxed here and that is a v nice feeling ! :-)

You deserve this happiness Ican. You had it really rough for a while. Glad to hear you're doing so well.

You sound like you have an interesting life. Do you travel around West Africa, or are you based on one place?

I’m based in UK ( used to be based in Africa) but pre-Covid travelled 4-5 times a year to West Africa evaluating health projects. .. Am hoping it will pick up again as I LOVE it ! :-) ( and I’m good at it - ha ha!)
