Life between Assinie Mafia and Assouindé ✨

Wild beach. Slow days. Kind people.

But behind these photos? A little IG vs. reality moment.

I wasn’t feeling great from day one in Côte d’Ivoire, and it only got worse. I got really sick. Zero energy.

These photos are me pushing through when I really should’ve been resting.

I stayed between the two villages of Assinie Mafia and Assouindé because that was as far as I could manage to move. They are ~30-45min away from each other.

This meant missing places in other parts of Ivory Coast I’d been wanting to visit for years. But that’s travel. Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some.

Still… there are far worse places to be stuck sick 😉 I was forced to slow down here. But honestly, if you ever want (or need) to slow down, this is a pretty perfect place to do it ✨

Imagine a 20km long stretch of wilderness with palm trees lined up, the ocean on one side and a calm lagoon on the other.

This beauty connects the villages of Assinie Mafia and Assouinde in Cote d’Ivoire.

There are a few villages along the way, between the sea and the lagoon. And then… just empty white sand beach and peace. No trash. Just pure nature.

You can cross from the beach to the lagoon in just a few minutes.

On the other side, there is the lagoon, with its mangrove forest and little islands spread across it.

It is wild.�It is pure.�It is peaceful.

Google the drone view. It’s incredible.

You won’t go unnoticed walking through Grand Bassam. Locals will stop you to take photos of them or invite you to sit with them and chat. You’ll hear them say to each other with big smiles, “Oh, we will go to US/France” (meaning visit me)… everyone assumes you’re from one of those two countries.

And yes, some guys will try their luck, hoping to get closer in the hope of… eventually getting a visa. Getting used to this 😅

It’s a laid-back little town full of charm. The streets in the old town are sandy, with colorful colonial era buildings, every corner feels like stepping back in time.

It feels like a town built in the sand – the French colonial district is right next to the beach, and the soil is naturally sandy.

The beach is packed on weekends, full of life, but also very, very dirty. Only a few small stretches are clean, literally just a few meters.

📍 Grand-Bassam was the first French colonial capital of Côte d’Ivoire. It was the administrative and commercial capital. Its old town is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

First photo… probably the fastest shot of my life 😅

This close to crocodiles. On foot. Slightly insane haha.

Locals told me there’s only ever been one fatality, a local kid who was bathing near a crocodile that had just given birth, and she attacked him.

Would you come this close to the crocs?

Life 🫶

The old part of Bobo is few steps from the Grand Mosque. Mud brick houses, kids playing around, aunties watching.

Warm and welcoming. It’s just Bobo.

And those fishes, apparently they are holy, and you are not supposed to catch them.

The reason why I traveled all the way to Bobo was this magnificent, unique piece of architecture.

You know that feeling when you see something for the first time and it just blows your mind?

The butterflies, the excitement, the gratitude, that pinch-me moment. And yes, that still happens even after I’ve traveled to more than 120 countries.

This type of architecture is something I’d never seen before, and I didn’t want to leave (ok, that happens a lot with me haha).

I wandered around, took photos, and then just sat there for hours, admiring it. And then the next morning, I went back again just to admire it once more.

The Grand Mosque of Bobo-Dioulasso ✨

It was built in the late 19th century in the Sudano-Sahelian style, using mud bricks, clay, straw, and wood, all made with traditional techniques. Those wooden beams sticking out of the walls, called toron, aren’t just decoration, they’re actually used as scaffolding (supports) for maintenance.
