The Balcony
My house in Abidjan was where I spent most of my time and is definitely a part of my favorite places I’ve been there. But especially the balcony. The balcony was my perch and HQ. I watched TV there when my dad held the living room hostage. I read all my books there. I watched the sunset there, I listened and danced to my jams there and worked out there. Anyways I love my balcony.

The Beach
The Beach is ,to me, the best place on Earth. I always pestered my dad to bring us to the beach because it is so dear to me. If I could, I’d live there and ride a horse along the shore everyday.
