Additional Notes
It is not easy to save in Conakry, which is a surprise for some when they get here. The low salary paired with the high cost of living diminishes savings potential. I like my work environment, and the kids and parents are nice. Public transportation is not easy here, so it's hard for newer expats to move independently.
