Hi I am Abba, Outbound Tour Guide, Interpreter, Translator and Language editor, worked with UN as a language assistant. I was born in Mali and grew up in Burkina Faso particularly in the marvellous city of Bobo Dioulasso, where I studied and graduated in tourism management and foreign languages as my main subject.
