Monrovia - Post Report Question and Answers
What do you wish you had known about this particular city/country before moving there?
The isolation and lack of basic, functioning amenities. It felt like a prison. Even a single park or green space in the city would have made things more bearable, but there are none. - Oct 2021
It was actually better then we thought it would be. Just be prepared to work, at find places to go, to meet people to make plans. Nothing comes easy here but there is a lot going on if you are willing to work a little. - Aug 2019
I'd been working here for a number of years before moving with the family so knew what we were getting into. - Nov 2017
It looks like it has made progress since the war because of buildings and roads, but the population at the working age is largely uneducated and it is frustrating to impact change here. The whole country seems to be waiting for more hand-outs and for someone else to fix their troubles. There is a tendency to blame any problem on 'the war' and no initiative to move past it. And, corruption is rampant, expected, and frustrating as someone trying to help move the government forward. - Dec 2013
