  • Maranatha Beach Camp, Ghana

    Maranatha Beach Camp, Ghana

    After spending my first days in Ghana at Cape Coast, I decided my next stop should be the Volta Region, a big region in the East (kind of South-East, surrounding Lake Volta). I’d heard about it being quite scenic and rural with lots of adventurous things to do, which is why I decided to go. Read more

  • Kakum National Park, Ghana

    Kakum National Park, Ghana

    An obvious day trip to do if you’re staying in Cape Coast is Kakum National Park, well known for its canopy walkway. To get there from Cape Coast, you could hail a taxi and ask them to take you all the way there (I’d say don’t pay more than 50 cedis total for this), or Read more

    A Week in Haiti

    After having met a family of missionaries from Haiti while I was in the Dominican Republic, I walked over the border to stay with them for a week and I found it really interesting. It isn’t a typical travel destination and there isn’t much ‘to do’ specifically, but I would still recommend it if you Read more

  • Crossing the Dominican – Haitian Border

    Crossing the Dominican – Haitian Border

    When I knew I’d be going to the Dominican Republic for a few months during my year of travelling around the Caribbean, it was my hope from the beginning that I’d end up making a friend from Haiti or somehow ending up being able to go to Haiti, seeing as it’s right next to the Read more
