Studying in Sierra Leone?

  • Higher education is still in development, but there are universities where you can follow various studies in Freetown, Makeni and Bo.

Working as a digital nomad in Sierra Leone?

  • A simple life in a country that is in the middle of development. You can experience the beautiful nature, friendly people and relaxed beaches, but also poverty and the associated challenges. In the cities you will find relatively good internet, but it can sometimes be unreliable and vary in speed.
  • Freetown is a close-knit expat community if you want to meet other locals.
  • Favorite location: Freetown.
Back to top

Living in Sierra Leone?

  • The capital Freetown is the main hub for expats, with access to amenities and a vibrant city life.
  • Why yes or no? The country is known for its friendly and welcoming people, the culture is diverse and vibrant, the nature is impressive and fairly untouched, you can really make a difference if you work there and there are emerging markets that offer opportunities, but… healthcare is limited, infrastructure is challenging, education options are limited and history certainly has an impact on daily life.
  • Education: There are a few international schools in Freetown, such as the American International School of Freetown, but options outside the capital are limited.
  • Expat community: Small but close-knit, mainly consisting of people who work for NGOs, international companies and organizations or in mining.
  • Safety: Generally safe except for petty crime and traffic. Stay alert to government advice.
  • Health insurance: the best care can be found in Freetown, outside of that access to good health care is very limited. There are also various health risks. So make sure you have your own good health insurance.

What to take to Sierra Leone: brief

To pack and check:
  • Documents and money: a passport that is valid for at least 6 months upon arrival. You need a visa for Sierra Leone. Depending on your nationality, you can apply for an e-visa in advance or arrange a visa on arrival. It is always a good idea to have digital and paper copies of your passport, visa, vaccination certificate and travel insurance. Proof of yellow fever vaccination is required on arrival. Bring enough cash; US dollars and local Sierra Leonean leones are the most useful, as card payments are generally not possible (and ATMs may not be available) outside larger towns and cities.
  • Clothing: lightweight, loose-fitting clothing such as thin long trousers and long-sleeved shirts. These are useful for protection against mosquitoes, sun and dust. A rain jacket or poncho is useful during the rainy season.
  • Shoes: comfortable sneakers or sturdy sandals are sufficient for Freetown and other urban areas. For walks, nature areas and travelling inland, shoes with good grip are useful, especially during the muddy rainy season.
  • Toiletries and hygiene: high-SPF sunscreen, lip balm, hand sanitiser and tissues.
  • Packing and protecting your belongings: during the rainy season, a rain cover for your backpack and waterproof bags are really essential. A dry bag is also useful when visiting beaches, islands or nature areas.
  • Insects and animals: a good insect repellent, preferably containing picaridin or DEET. A tick remover is useful after walks through tall grass or dense vegetation.
  • Sleeping: an impregnated mosquito net if you are staying in basic accommodation. In hotels with air conditioning or good window screens, this is usually not necessary.
  • Medication and travel first aid kit: enough of your personal medication, plus ORS, plasters, blister plasters, painkillers, anti-diarrhoea medication, hand sanitiser and, optionally, a thermometer.
  • Outdoor and useful items: sunglasses, a sun hat or cap, a reusable water bottle with a filter and a small daypack.
  • Technology and equipment: a universal travel adapter for Type D and G sockets, a power bank and a headlamp.
  • Safety and theft: bring as few valuables as possible and avoid conspicuous jewelry. It is recommended to divide your cash between different places. Photographing military installations, government buildings, prisons, or other official locations is prohibited.
To consider:
  • A few vegetarian or vegan snacks or bars for longer journeys.
  • A water filter or purification tablets for traveling outside the cities.
  • Binoculars for birds and wildlife.
  • A buff for protection against sun, dust and insects.
  • An offline translation app or dictionary, especially when travelling outside English-speaking areas.
  • A small amount of laundry detergent for washing clothes by hand while travelling.

Are there mosquitoes in Sierra Leone?

  • Sierra Leone is a paradise for mosquitoes. The risk of malaria is high, as is the risk of other diseases such as yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya and zika. Malaria mosquitoes are mainly active from dusk until morning, while some other mosquitoes bite during the day. Mosquito protection is therefore important throughout the day.
  • Insect repellent containing DEET or picaridin, lightweight long clothing, and sleeping under an impregnated mosquito net or in a well-screened room are the best ways to protect yourself.
  • More about protection against mosquitoes and insects.
Back to top

Are there sandflies in Sierra Leone?

  • Sandflies occur in Sierra Leone, but there have been no confirmed reports of leishmaniasis in the country.
  • For travellers, mosquitoes are therefore generally a more important concern, although sandfly bites can still be unpleasant. Fortunately, long clothing and insect repellent can also help protect against sandflies.
  • More about sandflies and sand fleas.
Back to top

Are DEET, or other insect repellents, available in Sierra Leone?

  • Insect repellents can be found in Freetown and larger towns, but the range and strength available are likely to be more limited than at home. Outside larger cities, it may be difficult to find any specific product.
  • Bringing enough DEET or picaridin with you is therefore sensible, especially if you are travelling to nature areas or remote parts of the country.
  • More about DEET.

Is it legal to buy a beer or wine in Sierra Leone or bring it with you to Sierra Leone?

  • It is legal to buy beer or wine and it is allowed to bring alcohol with you to Sierra Leone within reasonable limits.

What is the quality of healthcare in Sierra Leone?

  • Sierra Leone has a very limited healthcare system. The quality of care falls far below European standards, and access to good care depends heavily on location and financial resources.

    • shortage of medical equipment and personnel.

    • uneven distribution of care (urban vs. rural).
    • heavy dependence on NGOs.
  • Following the civil war and the Ebola epidemic, the system is still in recovery.
  • There is a national emergency number (117), but ambulance services are unreliable and often unavailable outside Freetown. Ambulances are often poorly equipped and not staffed by well-trained paramedics. In practice, people often travel to the hospital by taxi or private transport.

What is insurance for working abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid work abroad.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for paid work abroad.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally do not provide sufficient coverage to apply for a work visa or working holiday visa.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only cover stays abroad for a limited number of days. If your trip or stay abroad exceeds the maximum number of days, this generally means that there will be no coverage for the entire travel period.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only provide coverage for recreational travel without study, internship, or work. If you engage in activities other than recreational activities, this generally means that you will no longer be covered for the entire travel period.

What is insurance for working with animals abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad with animals means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid, unpaid, or internship work abroad, where minor or major risks are involved.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for work abroad.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work. Almost all standard insurers exclude working with animals from coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work. All over the world, there are reserves, rescue centers, and zoos where you can roll up your sleeves as a veterinarian, intern, or volunteer. Working with animals or wildlife is not without danger. No matter how cute they may look, or how tame they may behave. All animals can suddenly bite viciously or lash out with a claw or beak. Not only can this result in nasty injuries, but it can also transmit diseases that you would rather not have, and certainly not abroad.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.

  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if you start working during your trip, whether planned or unplanned. If you have not taken out insurance before departure that allows you to work, there is no guarantee that you will be able to take out insurance abroad that provides coverage.
  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if your own country's health insurance no longer provides coverage.
  • Student insurance also covers your healthcare costs above the rates in your own country; with regular insurance, you have to pay the extra costs yourself.
  • Student insurance can also continue to provide coverage if (study) visa issuers impose additional requirements on how you insure yourself, for example if you are going to the US and applying for a J-1 visa.
  • Student insurance continues to provide coverage if you are staying abroad for a longer period of time and want to visit your own country in between.

What is important to insure when you are going to study abroad?

  • That you have insurance that is valid in the country or countries where you are going to travel and work.
  • That you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you are going to participate in during your period abroad
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.
  • That your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • That you insure your luggage and take sufficient precautions against theft or damage.
  • That you are well insured against personal liability.
  • That you are well insured in case of accidents.
  • That you only insure yourself for legal assistance if there is an immediate reason to do so, unless coverage is already automatically included in the insurance.
  • That you pay close attention to choosing the right coverage when performing work alongside your studies.

Travel in Sierra Leone

  • On the west coast of Africa lies a hidden gem in the beach destination category. After a painful history of slavery, civil war and the trade in blood diamonds, Sierra Leone is entering a new era with a boom in tourism. In the heart of Freetown’s old town, marvel at the famous Cotton Tree, a gigantic tree of unknown age. In the tropical paradise of the Mao River, Tiwai Island is a magical hideaway and community conservation project. Groundnut stew, cassava and pepper soup are among the local Sierra Leonean dishes.

      Backpacking around the world?

      • There is so much to see that instead of a page we could fill an entire website about this... Oh but wait, we did! See above all the countries of the world and their unique features :). What else we can say here: the world is your playground! Each continent has something special to offer, and here is a very short list of some of the best places: 
      • South America: Patagonia for epic hikes, Colombia for fun locals and culture and Ecuador for unique culture. 
      • Asia: Thailand as backpacker Mecca (or make it a tour of Southeast Asia right away), Japan for a combo of modern and traditional and many conveniences, Nepal for the real hikers and spiritualists among us. 
      • Africa: Namibia for vast deserts, Tanzania for safaris and Kilimanjaro and Madagascar for if you really want to see totally unique nature and encounter few others. 
      • Europe: Portugal for charming and affordable vacations, Paris, Berlin, London and Prague for fun city trips, Scotland for rugged nature and Outlander lovers and Albania for Eastern European authenticity with modern conveniences.
      • Oceania: New Zealand for pristine landscapes, Fiji for a true paradise and Australia for mega-long road trips. 
      • North America: for conveniences and pricey trips, but fun and modern with beautiful nature. 
      • Antarctica: if you have the opportunity and money, let us know in the comments how it was!
      • Activity spotting: too many to mention. Otherwise, start with the 7 wonders of the world, or the highest mountain on each continent, or go on a fun city break.   
      Back to top

      Study around the world?

      • Best places: UK, US, Singapore (but also expensive), Germany, Finland, Netherlands, Australia.
      • Better not to: Nauru because there is no university there, North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia, conflict zones but also many other countries that are still developing unless you like to learn about local customs and nature. 
      Back to top

      Internship in the world?

      • There is so much out there! Think Switzerland for luxury corporate internships, Costa Rica for ecotourism and nature conservation, India for innovative and cultural challenges, etc etc etc. 
      • Competencies: international cooperation, flexibility, adaptability, language skills. 
      Back to top

      Volunteer around the world?

      • You make the most difference in poorer countries where they could use your help. Consider volunteering in the areas of education, community development, health care, child care, women's empowerment, helping start businesses, nature and animal protection etc. 
      Back to top

      Working around the world?

      • In each country, it is totally different. If you want to go for a high salary, look at Switzerland and Singapore. Canada is otherwise pretty migrant friendly and as a European you can of course work anywhere in Europe. 
      Back to top

      Working as a digital nomad around the world?

      • As a digital nomad, you have a choice of the ultimate digital nomad places like Bali, Chiang Mai, Medellín and Lisbon, or quieter places like Puebla, Vilnius, Gran Canaria, Dakar. 
      • Places not to recommend: North Korea, Antarctica, Baghdad, Pacific islands and conflict zones, of course. 
      Back to top

      Living in the world?

      • Here you can go for adventure combined with challenges, uncertainty and risk, or safer places that may be more like home and have similar amenities. 
      • The world is full of diversity, from the samba of Brazil to the tea ceremonies of Japan. The best places depend on your preferences for adventure, tranquility or tradition.
      • But ... no matter where you live, go and explore, always make sure you take care and have your own well-covered health insurance.
