I am considering visiting Senegal for the first time. I don't know how long I want to stay there, maybe 2 weeks maybe 5, unsure. The issue is: it says it is necessary to have proof of onward travel. As I won't have a return ticket, this makes things difficult.

As I would also like to maybe visit Gambia I thought to buy a bus ticket beforehand but I have not been able to get into the Dem Dikk app as the sms confirmation texts don't arrive. I thought to buy a plane ticket instead but it would cost so much more, plus I do not know what day I want to go so it is not a great option either...

I also thought about getting a refundable return ticket with Iberia/Vueling but both seem to only to credit refunds not cash refunds.

Any other ideas or personal experience?

For context I am Polish, but I would be flying from the UK.

I have had issues with my TMJ for years. Recently it's been getting worse, my jaw pops on both sides, and I have to guide it in place when I yawn etc. I do not grind my teeth, but I clench my jaw a bit (not enough to wear off my teeth). My dentist gave me a night guard about a month or two ago. Unfortunately, I love the sensation of clenching my jaw when I wear it and I seem to do it through the night. I wake up with my jaw clenched hard, and my TMJ feels sore in the morning.

My questions now are:

- Is clenching my jaw with the night guard on still beneficial for my TMJ, as at least it is soft? Or is it bad, as I do it harder and more noticeably than without it?

- Is the soreness in the morning a bad or good sign?

- Anyone else with a similar experience?
