    Hi, I'm from Colombia. I have a pension worth 350 US dollars each month. I can live on that budget in The Gambia. Thank you.

      You can live there very well if you don't want to live an extravagant life. I spend 150 dollars a month for all my needs monthly when ever am there , but reseacrh first and you will enjoy that small beautiful country good luck.

      The Gambia 🇬🇲 was one of my considerations when I desired to exit USA. I know that I could live well on my monthly budget there, but I didn't feel as if I had the trusted tried and true support not to be taken advantage of by "SOME" people there. Would love to visit, though.

    I stumbled upon your channel on my home page, and I clicked. Initially, I thought you were Gambian, but I heard a Ghanaian accent when you were in the market. When you conversed in Wolof, I said, “Maybe she is a Gambian who lived in the U.S.” Thanks for sharing this video. I enjoyed the market trip, and it's amazing how much $5 can get you back home. 🙌🏿

You are a very beautiful woman with such a warm and beautiful spirit that touches my heart, and I must say that I really love your background music as well.

    It's very expensive compared with Ghana. Aside that, everything you cooked was Ghanaian. I even heard you mention 'abom' for the locally-made stew just as we call it in Ghana. The method is similar. Your 'blender' is also not new to us in Ghana, but in Ghana, we don't usually accompany 'abom' with potatoes. Instead, we use yam, green plantain, cocoyam or cassava. Thank you.
