Liberia, officially the Republic of Liberia, is a country on the West African coast. Liberia, meaning "Land of the Free" in Latin, is bordered by Sierra Leone to its west, Guinea to its north and Ivory Coast to its east.
Forests on the coastline are composed mostly of salt-tolerant mangrove trees, while the more sparsely populated inland has forests opening onto a plateau of drier grasslands. The climate is equatorial, with significant rainfall during the May–October rainy season and harsh harmattan winds the remainder of the year. It was an important producer of rubber in the early 20th century.
Liberia is the only African republic to have self-proclaimed independence without gaining independence through revolt from any other nation, being Africa's first and oldest republic. The country maintained and kept its independence during the European colonial era.
It's my pleasure to say a little about my experience with Diane Ross with Kingsbridge Travel.
Our recent trip to Europe was diverse and somewhat complex. To complicate matters further,we were traveling with another couple. So many moving parts! Hotel reservations, car rentals, tours, you name it, Diane handled it all. We had a lovely, memorable trip to London, Normandy, Germany and a fabulous river cruise on the Danube with Uniworld. With Diane's help and guidance our trip went so smoothly. Traveling , as fun as it is, comes with some angst. Diane absolutely saw to it that our trip was all and more than we'd hoped for.
