Thanks for sharing this unique insight into the current situation in Liberia with us. I haven´t seen many posts dedicated to this country here on Hive (or on Steem before). Obviously, locals have been through a lot lately...
Let me get you some extra support for better visibility.

And thank you for noticing @photrun! I see you visited the Azores last year. My brother @dhimmel and I visited last August and had a similarly wonderful time.
Actually, we are still here :D We picked these island as our next digitally nomadic destination back in last November and we planned to stay here for a couple of months but the pandemic has a kind of trapped us here :D But its´s a beautiful place, no doubts. We are on Sao Miguel, where did you guys stay?
Sao Miguel and Santa Maria. Hiking around Santa Maria via the Grande Route (starting and ending at airport) was a highlight.
Wooow, that´s a beautiful shot. Camping in this stunning wilderness must have been an amazing experience. We have been on Sao Miguel only the whole time but this island is large and diverse enough to keep us entertained for months :) I actually run a special weekly series on by blog called Beauties of Azores where I introduce my readers to interesting places we have visited here. This is one of my favorite episodes. The lakes around Sete Cidades are so beautiful. I am sure you visited this part of the island too, didn´t you?
Yeah we camped at the Parque de Campismo Sete Cidades one night. It's a free campground with running water! We met some nice locals there, as it was a holiday weekend. Unfortunately, we also had some food stolen, but luckily the thieves spared taking my Trail Designs titanium inferno wood stove.
Wow, I am very surprised to hear this... We have been living here on Sao Miguel for about a half a year now and it feels like the safest place we have been to so far. I thought the crime rate is literally zero here. I think you must have been very unlucky to have such experience and I am very sorry about it... Hopefully it didn´t spoil your overall impression about the islands :)
No, overall it was a great visit with plenty of nature and friendly locals.
Let me correct that link for you (:
Haha you are right! :) I need to get used to linking my older posts from Hive, even though they were actually created on Steem. Thanks for the reminder!
related. I just used https://steempruner.site to add a link to Hive on all my old Steem posts.

Because of the civil war Liberia itself is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. I wonder what happened after August 2017. The exchange rate jumped rocket speed against to US Dollar. https://currency.world/convert/USD/LRD (See the historical change in the graph)
