The weather condition is really rather great throughout the year. The ocean is spectacular. Ghanaians are so friendly. They are such beautiful individuals. It is such an incredible nation.

And I state this, particularly for all the ladies taking a trip alone who are listening to this, questioning if they can or ought to take a trip to Ghana, I did and I believe it’s wonderful.
