She's making a small sacrifice to get where she can live comfortably, in peace, and thrive within this new environment. She's setting an example for others, that when there's a will, there's a way. I wish her nothing but success, and she'll get more than what she's striving for, because she's being content with her progress along the way. God bless her journey 🙏

@ Jay Cobb - While her journey may be inspirational, it's not for everyone. Clearly she had a good amount of savings to purchase land. Not everyone is financially equipped to do that. You also have to consider the fact that you will need to be able to sustain yourself once you make that big move. All that being said, this is not a move that everyone has the resources and wherewithal to undertake. Packing up your whole life and moving to an entirely different country where you will be completely on your own takes money and a lot of planning . . .unless of course, you're a fresh college grad who hasn't started life yet and have nothing to lose. I do admire this women's resourcefulness and determination though.

I've seen Dears, Boars, Racoons, Lizards, Geckos, I've had three Bobcats pass right in back of my tent. I sat up and looked at them. They looked at me and then kept walking. I'm not afraid of wild animals. I'll try and make friends with them if I could. I was made for this life. I'd love to walk around my house in the sand barefoot.

African Americans are not African. We are the Hebrew Israelites from the Bible. Even in the Bible definition for ham, whom Africans come from it explains ham is one of the sons of Noah. Ham is the first of the dark peoples of the earth yet it says not the negroes. The Jewish people in Israel right now are ashkenazi which in the Bible comes from Japheth. But the chosen people of god comes from Shem. Which negroes originate. So we are not African we are Israelites from the holy Bible

Hi There, The type of coconut hut as shown in your video originates from the Ga tribe's Xmas coconut hut which I understand has disappeared from the Ghana cultural landscape. So, I'm happy to see it make a comeback in another form as an everyday living space as shown in your video. And, as an improvement, also for the longevity of the leaves, I'm thinking that a layer of clay or mud (plentiful and free in Ghana & I'm sure even to be found near the hut) can be applied once the coconut leaves have dried thoroughly (and adding a layer of clay or mud will not only protect the leaves from aging and decay but also insulate the leaves against fire). Finally, once both leaves and the outer layer of clay or mud have dried, the hut can then be painted like any other house &, unwittingly, a new form of affordable dwelling would have been created. A word of caution though: The question is whether it'll be SUSTAINABLE if many coconut huts modelled after the one this video started to be built in Ghana bearing in mind that the coconut tree which provides the leaves, an essential raw material for building the hut, has been decimated in Ghana by a disease that first started on the east coast of Ghana and then spread along the Ghana coastline killing many coconut trees in the process. Needless to say that coconut trees growing by the shoreline as was once the case in many parts of the Ghana coastline could have helped against beach erosion and also probably against rising sea levels. All in all, as coconut leaves are harvested to build huts such as the one in this video, it's also worth remembering that there's an urgent need to plant new species of the coconut tree, preferably faster-growing specimens, especially along Ghana's coastline & what is being done in the republic of Benin can serve as a model/example.

This is the way. I've seen this in many places. Really eye opening in Colombia when I saw what I thought was an abandoned house project. Only to see this guy come work on the house a few nights a week. When I asked the airbnb owner about it he told me it was his brother-in-law building his second house, closer to the water. He basically works, and when he gets money, he comes and works on his house. Delayed gratification and no debt. Powerful combinations. Living abroad really put a fire under me to downsize. So I've sold my house and built a smaller house and I own it outright... yay me. In between every house I've built, I've had to "rough" it. So, it is so worth it when you go through a little pain, to get to a larger goal. Mission accomplished. Her hut is well thought out and imagine the money she saves. I think you find that with all your plans, you get to a point where you find it is good enough and it didn't need all of the things you initially planned after all. I'm encouraged by all the people I see making moves in Africa. I am on track to retire early and am watching these videos to help research where I want to go. Good video. Brave woman here.

Just be mindful about the sellers of land, there has been problems , I think Leslie has experienced that too, maybe watch her YT channel. Also the last year or two I have seen quite a few people move to Ghana and then leave within the first year like Venessa Kanbi and some of her friends also YT. It can be expensive to live around the capital and inflation in Ghana this year is around 26 % it affect everything. So wish you the very best of luck with your project, just be aware of the challenges and go in with open eyes.

For a uber driver to be able to buy beach front property, and it's paid off. Then to go back and make more money, come back and build a hut. That is awesome. Thanks for sharing this whole experience. I would truly do this.
