Why We Love Liberia

Our week in Liberia completely changed how we think about travel. This isn't a place you just visit—it's somewhere you experience with all your senses. The local cuisine surprised us at every meal, the architecture told centuries of stories, and the people welcomed us like old friends returning home.

Our Favorite Moment: Sharing a meal with a local family who invited us to their home—absolutely life-changing.
