When I moved to Accra seven months ago I had no clue what the food scene would be like. As an American expat food was obviously one of the most important things for me to understand and explore. After all, a girls’ gotta eat right?? lol. Would I like Ghanian food?? Would I still be able to quench my fast food cravings while living abroad? Through much experimentation, I put these questions to the test. (more…)
In a short span of 25 years I’ve lived in 4 different countries. Sounds a little crazy right lol? I’ve seen the first world, the third world and little stops in between. At each stop in my life’s journey I’ve gleaned some valuable gems along the way.
I’m well aquainted with the richness of American food and the convenience of one-stop mega shops like Walmart. I’ve danced to the beat of South African house music in Cape Town and gone for a traditional Braai. I’ve experienced the splendour of German Christmas markets when December rolls around. Presently, I’m living in Ghana where fresh fruit, coconut and energetic faith communities are plentiful.
Over the weekend my fiancé and I took a mini trip to explore Brussels. Lately, we’ve taken a liking to small trips that allow us to see new things without breaking the bank. We load up the car, pack lunches, snack when we get there and walk around as much as our hearts and legs desire. Anyone who has ever planned a wedding or big event knows the struggle, but we never let that stop our shine. We’re slowly mastering the art of finessing our way though this wonderful life 🙌🏾 …..but anyways, back the main event:
Brussels! (more…)
Visiting Prague was an incredible experience. Outside of the beautiful surprise of getting engaged lol….exploring the city was really a great treat. Prague is honestly such an underrated tourist destination. When most people think of Europe they automatically gravitate towards countries like France, Spain and Italy. The beauty of the Czech Republic is that you can experience grand european architecture and amazing structural design in a less expensive location. This Czech capital is Eastern european in culture, but more western european in design and industry. The city is really metropolitan with lots of international brands scattered throughout the city center (like H&M, Zara Footlocker etc). Still, there are lots of unique local places that will satisfy your desire to learn more about the true non-touristy culture.
