During your visit, you will learn about the slave trade, how Boa Vista was impacted by famine, how the independence movement grew in the archipelago, and who were its leaders. Although the museum is small, the visit is worthwhile: the staff is super knowledgeable and can offer you a guided visit (the museum actually offers a lot of guided tours to local schools) and there is a shop with a snack boutique on site.

My first adventure in Boa Vista was a 4-hour snorkeling excursion that included hotel pickup, a scenic drive to the snorkeling spot, and a stop at a charming village for photos.

The first journey I want to share is my trip to Cabo Verde, a magnificent archipelago just off the coast of Senegal. When I choose a destination, I consider the beauty of the beaches, the weather, and the richness of the culture and history. Cabo Verde ticked all those boxes and then some! It’s an affordable and very safe destination for solo female travelers, I never felt unsafe during my time there.
