A Paradise That Changed Our Lives

The story

A paradise you don't even know exists… a culture that astonishes you, intrigues you… makes you fall in love. Africa surprised me… it left me speechless, sometimes with a slightly bitter taste, sometimes it made me cry, sometimes it made me laugh and dream… For Africans, living and smiling is a very important prerogative… before discovering all this I could only survive… If I've now learned to live each day as if it were the last, I owe it only to Africa…
