Senegal: In the Shade of the Baobab Tree
Hometown
Bronx, NY

Hey guys! How’s it going? My name is Arli and I’m from the South Bronx, NYC. I’m 16 years old and currently a junior at the White Mountain School, in New Hampshire. From living in NYC my whole life and then living in NH for two years, I learned a lot about these two different lifestyles. Soon after, I tried out so many things that I would have never done if it weren’t for getting out of my comfort zone. This ultimately led me to discover Dragons and going to Senegal for a month. I’m very thankful for having the opportunity to go to Senegal and see life from a new perspective. Being in such a welcoming community made it easier to not be afraid of doing something wrong . I connected and created long-lasting friends while also figuring out how to become more independent and adaptable. It was an unforgettable experience and the best part was, I got to do experience it with amazing people right beside me. I’m very passionate about serving my own community and giving back to others. I love learning new languages and trying out different things.
