In this final episode from my time in Accra, Ghana, we dive even deeper into everyday life in this vibrant city.
I meet a local through Couchsurfing for an authentic conversation about life in Accra, explore the growing middle class, talk about Ghana’s huge number of government ministers, and discover some hidden gems.
Plus, on The Vagabond Hotline, listeners share the weirdest things they’ve eaten while traveling – from fermented horse milk to almost trying balut myself.
It’s a jam-packed final chapter before Cynthia and I leave Accra and head north for more adventures across Ghana.
Key Takeaways:
- The surprising number of government ministers in Ghana
- Understanding the income gap and cost of living in Accra
- Hidden gems like Legon Botanical Gardens
- Hilarious and bizarre travel food stories on The Vagabond Hotline
- Preparing to leave the city for rural adventures in Ghana
