    Personal tip if you’re coming to Ghana (esp for the first time): if you don’t mind driving long hours, take the bus instead of airplane from Accra to other places (like Tamale and Takoradi) you’ll see so much of Ghana from the towns along the road💯🇬🇭

      Great idea.

      Nah, Most of our towns look the same so after 2 hours it gets boring.

      Also, I worry about safety on the roads, know about some horrific road accidents that have occurred in the past. Sorry, but to places like Kumasi and Tamale, if you can, fly instead.

      Agree. I Always take the bus to kumasi. Can’t stand planes anyway

    Vanessa, as always, thanks a lot for your encouraging videos about Ghana. I always tell my children how ironic it is that they, our children who we thought we were trying to provide a better life for by sacrificing to travel to the West, are rather "deserting'''" us here to go back to Africa to live a more laid back, comfortable and fulfilling life. Your dad must be wondering what he did wrong!! Nice gentleman, by the way. I watched your interview with him and I like his worldview. Very progressive and not overly protective of his children. I hope your sister is enjoying her stay in Ghana. My base is at Prampram and I hope you get your land there. The view of the beach and the hilly terrain towards Ningo is beautiful and rivals Aburi. To top it, Bob Marley's wife, Rita Marley lives at Prampram, not far from the beach housing development you visited. Kudos!

    Totally agree. I became friendly on three trips to Africa with the drivers. Went on road trips etc and it was fun. They are happy to get a steady job and income for a few days or a week. And tip quite generously as money does matter. It’s a great way to be informed about the culture and what’s going on.

    SO helpful! Thank you Vanessa. Yes I do "FANCY"🤭 going to Accra because of your help over these past 2 years😃 I hope Ghana's Travel Department has at least recognized your contribution to bringing Diaspora to Ghana. I am from Atlanta USA and was ready from your videos then Covid hit😷. Then my travel buddies started flaking especially cause of SARS Protests in Nigeria. I tell them Nigeria and Ghana are two different countries with two countries between them😅 I will go myself I am ready now.👍🏾🇬🇭🇺🇸
