About the Author

Sean Connolly first travelled to Africa as a student in 2008 and has been returning to the continent regularly to research, teach English or simply soak up the ambiance in Africa's countless little-visited corners ever since. He's been poring over maps since before he could read them, and working with Bradt Guides since 2011, where he's updated or contributed to guides to Somaliland, Malawi, Mozambique, Ghana, Uruguay, Sierra Leone, Gabon and two editions of Rwanda, along with authoring the new 1st and 2nd editions of the Bradt Guide to Senegal. When he's not updating guides or discussing the many merits of camel meat, you may find him hitching a lift on a grain truck, sampling questionable local delicacies, or seeking out a country's funkiest records. Raised in Chicago, Sean stays on the move whenever possible, though lately you'll find him most often in Berlin. ([instagram] shanboqol)
