THIS ADVENTURE STARTED THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY...in another land and time!

I am Kossi! I was born and raised in Lome, Togo a small country located on the coast in West Africa. While I reside now in the great state of Florida, I am in love with my roots and passionate about the African continent in general. I have had the opportunity to live in, and visit, several countries over the years; however, there is no place like home. For me, Africa is the food, the rhythm, the people, the attire, the vibrant and varied cultures, and so much more! During one of my trips back home, a friend of mine challenged me to invest more in the continent. So, each of the items found on the site have been crafted and/or sourced by an artisan in places such as Senegal, Togo and the Ivory Coast. Every time I go home, I bring something that connects me to Africa and keeps me grounded until I can go back home again. In a way, I take a piece of Africa with me each time I go; I hope to give back to it as much as it has given me and more. I hope that you too will take a small piece of Africa with you after visiting my page! Please also check out our travels to Africa and around the world on our blog #Kos2KosTravels Thank you.
