Despite being born and bred in London, I'm still very much Ghanaian. And boy am I made to know it! From the strict up bringing, the food I've grown up eating (my favourite being waayche- Ghanaian rice and beans), the countless holidays to Ghana as a child- holiday meaning visiting every aunt and uncle there...

I've been a member of the online travel community for about 4 years. I generally use it as a means to connect with people before I arrive in another country. There's nothing quite like the reassurance of knowing you have a friend on the other side. It really does make the world seem a smaller... Continue Reading →

My eye caught the attention of a sunshine yellow book with a very up front title. It questioned me as I... Continue Reading →
The thoughts first started in Ethiopia (still have to blog about that trip)! Maybe I had too much time on my hands. Time to be thinking about the 'what ifs' and 'wonder whens'. So yeah, basically I started thinking a lot about kids- having own that is... and marriage! And simply all the stuff that... Continue Reading →
I get it all the time! No matter how much I plan a head so I have 101 things to keep me busy when I arrive back home... that blue feeling just weighs me down. Even after a long trip... When I'm longing for the comfort of my bed, cooking my own food (usually when I've... Continue Reading →
