Solo travel in Cabo Verde

Stable, safe Atlantic archipelago with beaches (Sal, Boa Vista), hiking (Santo Antão) and music in Mindelo. Remote-work program exists; expect Portuguese and Creole, limited English, pricey flights between islands and patchy internet. The easiest place to start is Mindelo.
