Reading about the unique challenges and joys of life on Ascension Island truly expands one's perspective. It's a reminder that in a world full of bustling metropolises and interconnected networks, there are still places where simplicity and community shine bright.
It's amusing to think of those green turtles as the ultimate globe-trotters, using their internal maps to traverse the Atlantic, while we humans, armed with advanced technology, sometimes find ourselves in unexpected reroutes. But hey, even the great navigators of the past had their share of course corrections, right?
Thank you for sharing this immersive journey that's equal parts informative and poetic.
Love this Femi, thank you. The people in St. Helena and Ascension really are bound up in community, I think, in a way we here in America just are not. I think that repeats across Africa in a way that makes it my favorite part of the world.
