I was blessed this summer (2004) to have the opportunity to live and volunteer at a Liberian Refugee Camp. Although it was my biggest challenge, and not so pleasant to be there, I did have the opportunity to trave around Ghana a bit each weekend.

Ghana is an amazing country located in the armpit of West Africa. It is tropical it is desert. The people are welcoming and eager to share their history and culture with you=) It is an interesting place to travel through. Not too easy. There are these huge buses called tro tro's and they cram as many people possible into these tro tro's sometimes for as many as 12 hours. And, it is not always people, it could be goats and chickens or even an entire shipment of pineapples. You never know in Ghana.

| Favourite spots: |
|
My favorite spots would definately have to be the beaches. Just pick and choose and you will not be disappointed. I would share my favorite spot...but I think I would like to keep that place quaint and beautiful. But, if you are eager to learn, send me a message =)

| What's really great: |
|
The people are what make Ghana so special. They are the strongest group of people I have ever encountered.
|
|
| Sights: |
|
There are a few natural rain forests and they are all breath taking. You cannot go wrong!
|
|
| Accommodations: |
|
The best way to experience Ghana would be family owned businesses that have fancy huts with electricity. The best place that I can remember is called One Love One Africa. It is in the Cape Coast.
