Senegal

Bob, an irish man born in Corck, 65 years old, officially retired since 5 years ago but at practice from ever, what remains in our memories when a trip is finished?
AS it happened through this trip, there are people who appears in some place and in some moment that a close connection is made and it last only for few hours, but It can be deep as a real friendship.

Bob, blue eyes, tanned face from the Mali, Guinean and Burkina Faso's sun, tell us stories about his trips around the world, from the 70's in Japan to the 00's in Mali.
Talks slowly, long silences in which meditates every sentence he is saying, low voice but firm in every word, common sense and a lot of content.
His stories talk about people who he has been met travelling around the world.
From everyone seems that he has a thought, from de USA man at the 70`s world exhibition in Japan to the russian family with 3 kids travelling around Africa in public transportation, from his own experiences to the married couple creating a song every month they stayed far from home.

"People is the answer!", said Bob. People makes the country, the landscape can be the same, forest, desert or sabana, languages change, but relations, customs, traditions and people remains.

From the trip, will remain a lot of pictures and video recordings, but also will remain the names of those who had been int touch with us and a little bit of their history will be attached to our.
Also, their experiences have an influence over our point of view about the way people starts a trip.
