I ended up traveling all to south to Mauretania, comming back and becoming well known poor but very popular street perfume seller in Marrakesh.
I came back after buring my friend who got stabbed to death around one year later...
Then I become successful backend programmer and husband.
Now I'm after divorce, jobless for 3 years and homeless for 1 month.
I consider going back to African mountains and desert everyday...
Or if you comment here publicly some more info about your work skills and experience, I wouldn't be surprised if other people might be willing and able to help too :)
What did you learn as a street perfume seller in Marrakesh? Compared to software sales? That alone sounds more useful than most TED talks.
Selling stuff as white person (extremely culturally aware) in Africa is like stealing candy from a baby. People want to know you, and your story - not the product.
Thank you for such suggestion. Yup, I could write few articles or stories...
Were all your perfume sales face-to-face, or did you use text, or word-of-mouth? Did you give discounts for referrals? How much did the brand name matter, or not? etc.

Why is most of the article one sentence at a time? I gave up on the article, seems interesting but was hard to read.
