    I have made it safely to Africa's smallest country on the mainland! It's called THE GAMBIA -- have you ever heard of it before?
    This nation is completely surrounded by Senegal and the Atlantic Ocean on all sides, and it's appropriately nicknamed "The Smiling Coast of Africa." Seriously, people smile at you from every angle here!
    We've spent the past 2.5 days here and it's been a very interesting experience to say the least. I love the people and the nature -- they are both world class. But something doesn't feel right to me about the society, which I explain in this video.
    This West Africa road trip is getting crazier and crazier by the day! Follow along on IG Stories for live updates in real time!

    I live in America but my family is from Gambia and Senegal and there is so much more than what was in this video, it’s beautiful country and if your from America it’s hard to understand the culture and atmosphere. I’ve been there several of times and the sex tourism is something that needs work but depending on the area you won’t see it. It’s a very small country so don’t expect everything to super clean and not crowded. it’s a country that just came out of dictatorship, and the president now is not doing much to help our country. I was excited that you were going to share about my country and how beautiful it is and the people, but now watching I will say I am disappointed, I feel no one really got to see how Gambia really is, with it’s rich culture and amazing people.

    I am British and I have been to the Gambia few times. My perception of the country is completely different from Drew's. My friends and I have had amazing times on both of our trips and we are all females from different nations . Two years ago, 10 of us visited and we are all looking forward to going back next year.
    The people are so welcoming and friendly which was very surprising to us .
    The only negative thing I'll say is, their is a clear difference between the poor and the rich. We came across extreme poverty in some areas and we were also invited to American like MANSIONS owned by multi millionaires dressed with private swimming pools ,huge gardens , butler's, maids etc.
    This level of difference did not sit very well with us and we hope the rich will give a helping hand to the poor to make things easier on them.
    Oh is extremely important to mention that unlike some countries we've visited in Europe and other parts of the world, we felt incredibly safe walking around at night as a group of tourist girls.
    We genuinely had fun. I believe Drew only visited the not so great parts of the country.
    We also visited the neighboring country Senegal and had an even better time there !

    What a poor view of a entire country . Happening to spent 2,5 days in a country doesn't give you the right to tarnish it's image. You should have done your research properly, gambia has more to offer . Talking about sex tourism, is one of those things that comes with tourism, yes we do have it in the gambia but it doesn't define the whole tourism sector . Next time do your research properly, i guess this whole traveling thing is be coming more of a business adventure to you than the real passion for traveling meeting new people and different cultures. I would rather advice you to go back to your roots than the attitude let's go there film some stuff post it and make some money without thinking of the effects.

    Drew, thank you for visiting Gambia and shining some light into this country where I was raised for over 18 years and have returned after 9 years abroad in London.
    I wish you were able to see Gambia for the multicultural country that it is. I’m a fan of your travel page but I have to say that for Gambia and Sierra Leone, the two countries I call home, you’ve done nothing but shine bad light on these countries.
    You showed the dirt in Gambia in a very specific part of The Gambia. Why didn’t you also show areas like Senegambia, Bijolo, Cape Point etc where the beaches are much cleaner than what you’ve shown (except when the tide is high and spits things out again like every other country).
    You’ve shown us in this video Tanji and what looks like Banjul or Serrekunda. The busiest market areas of The Gambia with poorer standards of living.
    I advice anyone looking to travel to any locations, to also consider that some or a lot of these countries are divided and certain areas aren’t where you will be staying! It’s like when I went to Athens and I was disgusted but then I went to another part of Athens and liked it.
    Regarding Sierra Leone, you complained about the whole journey and the bribery. Yes, bribery exists because people are poor but you went through the unconventional route and I don’t remember you showing the daily life, party life and the beautiful mountains and beaches the country has to offer. Did you know that Sierra Leone also has a massive waterfall which was recently discovered and one of the biggest in Africa?
    Again, I’m a fan of your work and admire where you’ve travelled but please be more considerate of those living in these countries and how much they are tired of hearing “sex traffic workers”. Be sue let’s face it, America has that too but we focus on their food and national parks don’t we?

      Also, you can’t see the whole country in 2 hours because traffic alone from the airport to Senegambia is at least 1 hour considering the traffic in Brusubi. I have a long list of things against what you’ve said in this video. Appalled! Did you even try going to Makasutu or Kunta Kinteh or James Island? No, you barely even showed Cape Point!

      No, they don’t talk about slavery in America, child sex trafficking, or drug abuse all across America nope. They will do 1 little story in the news 300 people busted in child sex trafficking ring and then you never hear about it again until they bust another one. People pretend this is not happing in America 😂
