It’s great to see our feature in the recent Arik Air ‘Wings’ inflight magazine, about quad biking in The Gambia, West Africa – courtesy of West African Power Sports. We had such a great time on the quad bikes and in the buggy. You can read all about –  including me stacking my quad into the bush! – in the on-line magazine here (pages 66-75).

Post quadding: Helen & Jason, dirty n dusty – but what an fantastic adventure!

 

If you are in The Gambia – or planning a visit – and still in a quandary as to what to get your partner, best friend, kids, for Christmas, then look no further than West African Power Sports. It’s a tremedously, exhilarating experience. Be prepared to get very dusty and very dirty though!

Happy Holidays! The Florios – Helen & Jason

We recently had the pleasure of working with the very talented Togolese artist, Amigoe Duiedonné. He had asked us to make a short multimedia bio for the opening of his current exhibition at Alliance Française, here in The Gambia, West Africa; which, coincidentally, is the same venue we exhibited ‘Photos Tell Stories – Images of The Gambia by Gambians‘
