We moved from the UK to Ghana ✈️🌴

This channel shows what it is really like to build a life in modern Ghana on our terms. Navigating two cultures. Rediscovering roots. Raising a child between worlds. Finding joy in the vibrant energy of West Africa.

Tomorrow’s video is NOT a normal Ghana travel vlog 🇬🇭🔥
I joined a Ghanaian tour operator for 72 hours and got rare behind-the-scenes access to see what it really takes to be a tour guide in Ghana.
The pressure. The people. The planning. The passion. The heart.
This is a story about the people working behind the scenes to represent Ghana well and give visitors an experience they will never forget!
Accra to Takoradi, tour life, international cruise guests, Uncle Attah energy, a side of Ghana tourism I had never seen before… and lots of “only in Ghana” moments 🤩🫶
⏰ Sunday 14th of June:
🇬🇭 8 PM Ghana time
🇬🇧 9 PM UK
🇺🇸 4 PM New York
Are you ready???? 😍🔥

Quick Volta Region Part 1 video update 🇬🇭❤️
Guys… YouTube is fighting me today 😭😅
I started uploading my longest video yet YESTERDAY, and this 40-minute Volta Region adventure is still taking its sweet time.
But we are not giving up tonight, and it’s almost at the finish line! 🔥
The video will be delayed tonight, but it is still coming. Please keep an eye out, and I’ll update the exact time once I have a clearer picture 🙏
To my people in Ghana and my European viewers still awake tonight, I appreciate your patience so much 🫶 And to my US viewers, this one is coming right in time for your evening watch 🎬🍿
I’ll update the comments here as soon as I have the final time.
This road trip was wild, and apparently the upload wanted to be part of the adventure too 😬😅

Before this new adventure, we were literally upgrading our life here in Ghana 🧱🔨

I DID IT! But I definitely couldn’t have done it alone 😍🇬🇭
TONIGHT’S video is incredibly special to me. I finally made my absolute favourite Ghanaian dish from scratch, but it took a village and some very patient little teachers to get it right 🥣🔥
From the pounding to the ingredients to all the little details, this was more than just a recipe. It was such a beautiful way to learn more of the culture I’ve come to love here ❤️
And at the end, the kids and their dad gave their final verdict... I was so nervous to find out if I actually got it right 😅
The kids and I will be in the comments answering questions once the video is live tonight, so come say hi! 🫶 We can’t wait to see your reactions 🤩
Full video goes live tonight:
🇬🇭 Ghana: 8:00 PM
🇬🇧 UK: 9:00 PM
🇺🇸 USA (New York): 4:00 PM

This is only the beginning of our Ghana compound tropical paradise transformation, and we’re already filming the next step this week 🌺🔥

NEW VIDEO SATURDAY 🎉 We thought we were just going out for a simple day… maybe a quick lunch… maybe a few errands… somehow it turned into something we definitely did NOT plan 😭🌿
This one is chaotic, funny, a little bit crazy… but also one of those days that reminds me why I love this life so much ❤️
And yes… we may or may not have completely transformed part of our compound 👀
⏰ Watch it April 25.:
🇬🇭 Ghana: 8:00 PM
🇬🇧 UK: 9:00 PM
🇺🇸 New York: 4:00 PM
And I just want to say… ❤️
your support lately has honestly meant so much to me. Reading your comments, seeing you come back to each video… it really doesn’t go unnoticed 🙏
I feel like we’re building something special here, and I’m so grateful for every single one of you.
I can’t wait to chat with you in the comments on this one 🤩
