[@alb4656]

We are proud of you Ricky because you are kind and humble and that's what most people likes about you

[@AReese-eu5zs]

It seems so chill there. You’re so blessed to be in such surroundings, to avoid the stressors of “keeping up with the Jones,” acquiring wealth and so-called success, greed and selfishness for the price of losing your soul. Stay grounded and open to learning more about the people and culture. I look forward to seeing the lessons you impart for us.

[@adoseofreality7115]

U said a mouthful 🙏🏾

[@hoodunnit3884]

It's not chill. The culture is one of lying , cheating and stealing. I'd NEVER go there

[@rhogan7312]

That’s terrific! All you really here is that there are no jobs in many African countries for the diaspora but its great to hear that no only have you found employment but that you’re learning about an industry. From Chicago (Westside)✌🏿💕💕💕

[@musatouray2683]

Too much negative things been said about Africa. I guess it’s been designed to keep us apart. I’m also from The Gambia and been living in Chicago for the past 6 years. I’ve been questions about many things that I’ve to correct about the Africa.

[@luinomrkt2111]

Check the environment of the video properly. Why can't youths go on with farming. Vegetable are expensive, fruits an so.

Ricki your personality and communication skills are so great. So Down to earth and what I like about you is you treat people with respect and warmth. Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed it. Congrats on your new gig. Best of luck.and 🤎🤎🙏

[@majesticgent]

Alright! The first step towards being the Minister of Tourism!

[@mastamonsta6159]

This was so cool. This lady gave me some Tanzania currency today when I was working. I said to myself that's a sign !!! We coming

[@laetitiak.c409]

Congratulations 🎉🎉 for this job Rickie I'm happy for you. God bless you!! Yes, honestly 'work' is a blessing. Being productive is good because in the end it makes you feel accomplished and that has a positive effect on your mental health. I used to work in a fast food restaurant as a college student (I literally graduated this may, so really like last year I was working there). And I always enjoyed working there during the summer because if I didn't I would just be at home doing nothing. I felt accomplished because I was able to save money and gain experience, although my field is different than fast food or restaurant manager

[@adavis2170]

This was so refreshing to watch! Nice connection with the people...I can feel that wind....will be there in February! Can't wait...

[@Omarsenior]

Welcome 🙏 🤗

[@Tirtsahnimm]

Your warm personality is lovely, and that coupled with Humbleness, will get you far in Gambia. This video was enjoyable, thanks for posting 😊!! your cats and dogs are cuuuute 😍😭I want one

[@MrJj2001]

I’m glad you found work that fits who you are! I like your relationship with life! lol yes you just always have a good attitude about any situation you encounter, and life rewards you for cooperating! Good things come to those who wait, and wait with a good and right attitude, like treating people with kindness and respect, that’s you, and just keep moving forward, there are more good things in front of you, you are a light that the universe uses to brighten that path that others may follow! Stay free!!

[@adhominem8356]

Beautiful words James. Beautiful words!

[@lhoward9597]

You are so lucky to be eating sweet seeded watermelons. I live in New York and all we buy are bland seedless watermelons.

[@briansmith7418]

And congrats on your new job 👏 I'm happy for you 😀

[@brentliosmithii3467]

I appreciate you being kind and friendly to Ibrahim as well, I know most girls wont dare talk to strangers always

[@phyliciajoykloes]

This is such a wonderful video! Learning more about your job at the hotel, seeing you connect with others and you rescuing two kittens! Beautiful!

[@michaelholmes562]

I love cats....I have 6. 3 male and 3 female. When I come to Gambia from Washington Dulles I have a lady come and feed them and clean their litter boxes every day for $13 day. When I see cats in The Gambia I always speak to them and feed them. When I stay at The Coco Ocean hotel I had a cat follow me to my suite and stayed on my balcony the whole time I was there.

[@olufeka0508]

Such a great VLOG, I enjoyed hearing your new outlook on being active, positive, and productive. This is a valuable lesson for us all. Thank you!

Mommie🤩

[@RedScareClair]

[@chabajatta1821]

Hello Denise just came across your video and its first time i watched your but your parents i watched them long time. I am a Gambian i live in Germany since 2015 and i work before in Kombo beach hotel 5 and half years as a Room Supervisor. By the way i am from Gunjur which is to Back Family. I enjoyed your conversation with Kemo and his dancing moves got me losing my ribs 😅😂🤣. Keep it up i am heading to school after i will watch more of your videos. Peace ✌🏿

[@sarahschaller556]

I loved this video. I have been trying to learn more about everyday life in African countries because I feel like as an American I just don't know much about it! It was interesting to see your perspective as an American living in Gambia. So many colors, friendly people and just a beautiful landscape. Thanks for showing us the Gambia through your lens.

[@kingkuntakinteh8224]

kiki is a lover she loves everything 🥰

[@tayibetti9316]

Hey Ricki Denise, I know a good thing you could do.. you could always learn different greetings and different languages that would also help you to perform your job efficiently. I'm so happy that you got something to do something that's going to cultivate your mind keep the videos coming little girl.

[@adamajarju4428]

Happy for you on your new job

[@junonzephyr3713]

Good Morning, I'm happy that you're in training and also happy. I hope you continue making progress. You're such a beautiful young lady. You're very pleasant. I wish you all the best. As you said that a good time to learn Wolof. It's going to become handy as a front desk Receptionist/Human Relations person. The more languages you know the better it is. Bye and be safe till I see you in your next video. Watching you from the States

[@napol5849]

Hey good luck with the new job ricki

[@jolamanding889]

Hello Sister Ricki, i saw this video today as a Gambian i felt bad. I wish you used emojis to cover that guy's face, he said he is single in the video but i doubt it. please the next time you have those kind of guys following you around please do stop them,put sense into their heads cause most if not all of them are illiterate. If you can't tell them what to do then please just don't talk to them. My concern is the family of this Kemo guy,his children,his wife this video is gonna be available for the rest of time this people don't know the reality of social media so as Gambians that are lucky to learn and understand i think we should save them from it. Once again thank you very much, am sorry if I might have said anything wrong am just human. enjoy your stay in The Gambia.

[@talkthethings7376]

Hope you have loads more good days

[@opheliad7452]

I stay in Gambia before for 1 year. Congrats on your job is hard to find in Africa but once you find one it cool.

The Gambian job market is challenging like anywhere else but with skill building, perseverance and networking you can often build a career. You may not get your dream job/income in the beginning but to will surely grow into that!
