In this high-stress Flashback Friday episode of The Radio Vagabond, I find myself in the heart of Dakar, Senegal, with a bus leaving at 7 am – and a taxi driver who has no idea where the bus terminal is.

What follows is a chaotic ride through a waking city, a ticking clock, and rising panic. But this episode isn’t just about the stress. Along the way, I also meet a talented local artist and an inspiring Italian woman working with UNICEF.

It’s a snapshot of the real Senegal – unpredictable, vibrant, and full of character.
