My 10 weeks here in Ghana have flown by! My first night
laying in my mosquito net bed thinking “what did I get myself into” seems just
like yesterday. But as I prepare for my final days here I have no feelings of
regret or uneasiness about my time in Ghana. I have truly loved every minute
here after those first 24 hours.
When traveling I have tried greet the experience with no
expectations or pre-judgments, but that's difficult!!! Ghana has far surpassed my
expectations, but I feel that is mainly due to the people that I have met here.
The community of Global Mamas employees
quickly welcomed me on their adventures and I am so thankful for that! I have been lucky to see almost all of the
major sites that Ghana has to offer, due to the companionship and advice from
these people.
Coming from the Midwest I consider myself to be a pretty
friendly individual, but Ghanaians take friendliness to a whole new level! From
my co-workers at the officer to random people on the street I am always gaining
new friends. Everyone greets you with a smile and ask you how you are doing, which
makes you feel like you know everyone!
Of course I will miss
all the new friends that I have made, but I will also really miss being by the
ocean. I don’t know what it is about it, but I could get used to the view. I will miss hearing the waves in the evening
and watching the fishermen on my way to work in the morning. I can sit for
hours and just watch the waves.
So just as how I hope to return to Paris someday and relive
my memories, I now have another place in the world to call a second home, full
of warm memories (literally warm though!).
Next stop SOUTH AFRICA!!!
