Sean Connolly (seanconnolly.me) first travelled to West Africa in 2008 and has been returning to study, work, or backpack around the region ever since. He has been working with Bradt Guides since 2011, authoring its Senegal and Mauritania guidebooks, and updating additional guidebooks to Malawi, Mozambique, Ghana, Uruguay, Sierra Leone and Rwanda. When he's not revising guidebook entries or discussing the many merits of camel meat, you may find him hitching a lift on a grain truck, chatting over a hot café Touba, or seeking out Senegal's funkiest records and best bowl of thiéboudiène (Senegal's national dish). Raised in Chicago (USA), Connolly stays on the move whenever possible, though lately you will find him most often in Copenhagen (Denmark).
