Welcome to Ghana | Ghana Vlog Day 1

[@linlinboyd5436]

On my goodness, it's so gorgeous. This is not the Africa that was taught about in school. Thanks for bringing us along on this splendid journey. Can't wait to learn and see the work of this organization.

[@LGnLA]

linda b 👏💯👏💯👏💯👏💯

[@jaxsonpierre2363]

Thank God for social media it's exposing a lot of lies

[@manuinc]

linda b the school system and the media are intentionally designed to paint Africa very badly, poor, and dirty. You have to go yourself. The media and the school system is all lies to keep y’all away ( separating black people) They fear the coming together of black people so they start to plant false images in your heads in schools.

[@niiayi]

@@manuinc that's true. They are afraid of the African unity because we can do magic when we became ONE. When am vlogging i share beautiful story of Ghana to the world the African way

[@niiayi]

@@jaxsonpierre2363 that is the main reason I start vlogging to tell our own stories so no one will say it for us the wrong way

[@DeedraBoodram]

Wow!!!! Just speechless!! Okay imma need to visit Ghana real soon!!! That view from the hotel is gorgeous!!! That art work!!!! So glad that every thing worked out!!

[@Karen-jf8lw]

I have been to Ghana 3 times and this video make me want to go there again!

[@reneejohnson5774]

Very nice video. I was there in August and we had an amazing time. We were in Accra, Kumasi and Cape Coast. We can’t wait to go back.

[@thebridge5483]

Renee Johnson I am so jealous of you guys can’t wait to go to Africa

[@theresabeck2647]

Renee Johnson Ghana is waiting for you dear you're always welcome

[@stephenreggio42]

Get a land in small town which is so cheap and build your home. You can go to Ghana anytime you want. That's your motherland

[@samuelcomah5032]

I'm happy to see my brothers and sisters coming back home.

[@panamanianchisholm5975]

Im going their in a few months so excited to see my BLACK BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE 💕💕💕

[@kaybee3757]

Great to know dear. I'm in Ghana. Hit me up when you arrive. [phone] is my whatsupp no. Thanks

[@jamestee6606]

It is refreshing to see people understanding how things are in Africa especially Ghana. People needs to go out there and experience things themselves. The media will never show you this. Because it undercuts their efforts to solicit money for the poor, which never get to the intended targets. People don’t live in a shithole. Someone might not have everything in life but people are responsible , courteous, clean and respectful.

[@KnoSoWavy]

Dang Ghana look kinda lit. Might have to add it to the list now.

[@abrihamabe7361]

Right next door to Ghana is the country of The Ivory Coast, another beautiful nation. It is like going from New York to New Jersey.

[@Atlas24gh]

Ivory Coast and Ghana are basically the same people. they have the same or similar ethnic groups. it was the English and the French who separated them with a physical border

[@dominicosei1778]

I’m a Ghanaian but I can’t hide the big love I have for that beautiful country Ivory Coast,i will be going in 2019 to visit IVORY COAST 🇨🇮

[@globalcetzen5271]

Yes ,The Ivory Coast is very beautiful and we are related to each other since those colonial boundaries must not define us if we are to unite.

[@AS-rw7rf]

Great video you really did a good job showcasing Ghana to the world. What y'all see on TV is not the totality of Africa they dont show you the real beauty of Africa.

[@samthepoet107]

Who would have thought it all that salsa dancing in Ghana! The pool looks like a lake--it's so huge. A great welcome to the motherland. Just a few weeks ago I watched some of Mark Wein's video he did on different food dishes in Ghana. Look out for Banku made from fermented corn and cassava dough cooked in water into a consistent whitish paste served with okra soup. stew or pepper sauce with fish. Looking forward to the series, and maybe we get to see some local food.

[@ItsonWithDeVonne]

Omg I just booked my flight I am going In 2 weeks for MONTH!! This is sooooooooooooooooo needed! Thank you

[@FunandBudget]

Wow...so cool!

[@KimFert]

Wish I were going as well. Have a wonderful trip!

[@kaybee3757]

Hit me up when you arrive in Ghana. [phone] is my whatsupp no.

[@elsiedankwa805]

Kobby Kobby sure I will! I’ll arrive with my friends over here in the USA as well, in 2020 winter

[@theresabeck2647]

Devonne Jackson you're welcome my dear Ghana is waiting for you dear

[@selfemancipation7967]

"Salsa/Rhumba music" is of African origin as is virtually all music of the universe with "Soulful Rythme". It is most commonly played by musicians (people) from Congo, Angola, Senegal, Cape Verde and Gabon. Thanks for sharing your experience in the Motherland.

[@XxxclusiveReviews]

Our music.. bet

[@abdulraheem415]

I visited Nubia and the people started singing and clapping for President Sadat birthday. I would have cried if it wasn't the fact that people were around me....I thought I was in a Baptist black church. They double clapped, danced stumped their feet like they were black Americans.

[@shakeabadadown]

I visited in mid July. I fell in love and can't wait to go back. We went as far north as the Volta Region to Wli waterfall and as far along the coast to Cape Coast.

[@FunandBudget]

I can't wait to go back either...probably next year. We did Accra (of course), Cape Coast and the village is in the East Region. So beautiful.

[@bekreto]

THE NEXT TIME MAKE A VISIT TO THE " ONE AFRICA" PLACE OF SISTER IMMAKUS. AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN WHO LIVED IN GHANA FOR 30 YEARS. SHE GOT A BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANT NEAR THE BEACH.

[@ajoaayebo6752]

Am an ewe from volta region. Sogakope is alos a very chilled place you can relax. Accra is too streeful for my liking.am Accra born and raised who loves nature. Abuŕi gardens and other chilled Regions in ghana are my hiding place when i need meditation .

[@javajazz6686]

SALSA originated in Africa, which was made popular by Afro Latina from Cuba Celia Cruz The Queen of Salsa. In Angola its called Kizomba ! :-)

[@morenitomoreno1282]

Jazz c Kizomba is actually the Angolan version of Zouk music from Martinique and Guadeloupe and Compa music from Haiti

[@MrOu83]

Why didn’t you take South African Airways (SA210) from Dulles International, Washington, D.C. (IAD) directly to Accra, Ghana?

[@FunandBudget]

This ticket was purchased about a week before I left. Since it was so last minute the difference between the 2 airlines was $2k...and the ticket I had already cost over $2500.

[@MrOu83]

The Fun and Budget Act - WOW! I now understand. I am fortunate in that I booked a round trip ticket from Washington Dulles International Airport to Accra, Ghana in late August for $895.00. I’m scheduled to depart on January 10, 2019. The flight is 10 hours.

[@MusicFilmArtLover]

You got this vacation as a gift????😱 Wow, talk about gratitude! You got some good friends!!!!

[@FunandBudget]

Yes...and it was even better than I could have imagined.

@@FunandBudget The trick everyone should know is to make a copy of DL and SS when going to dealership so they can't trap you

How did you get into a lounge for food if you are not travelling business or first class??? I wanna do that.

[@FunandBudget]

spokenkorkor1 I have memberships through my credit cards

[@PLATINUM2U]

May I ask. Do you have to do anything special with your Tesla to ensure when you get back to US It won't be completely dead?

[@FunandBudget]

Nope...sitting in the garage, it didn't loss any range from when I left. Depending on the weather (too hot or too cold) it could use a few miles of range a day but I've never noticed. Good question tho.

[@PLATINUM2U]

The Fun and Budget Act cool 😎

[@MusicFilmArtLover]

Ghana is the most woke/ connected to us. All other countries within Africa you have to convince them you're not rich or lazy! Lol

[@lionofjudah7627]

Not really honey. As an African woman living in USA, I know African Americans are not lazy. You are doing your best but the system here is in a way harsh towards pipo of color. Much love to all pipo of African descent in USA. U are all welcome to Africa. 🙏🏾
