Workation in Freetown: the essentials
Freetown was settled from 1792 by formerly enslaved people arriving from Nova Scotia, and the Krio language of their descendants is still what the capital speaks every day. About 1.3 million people live between forested hills and one of the world's largest natural harbours on the Atlantic. Lumley Beach runs along the western edge, more beaches line the peninsula to the south, and Fourah Bay College dates from 1827. The international airport at Lungi is about 17 km away but on the far side of the estuary, so most arrivals cross by water taxi or ferry. Traffic is heavy and power unreliable, and the rainy season has brought deadly floods and landslides, notably in 2017.
