EP 15 - WELCOME TO LIBERIA

In This Episode:

I will take you on an interesting journey through the beautiful West African Country called ‘Liberia’

Usually, when you speak of Liberia, all people think of immediately is the war that really destroyed the country or the fact that they have a female president; but Liberia is so much more!
From their food to their amazing Museums and National Parks, Liberia has so many wonderful destinations and sights to see.

EP 10 - GHANA, MY SECOND HOME

In This Episode:

When you speak of Tourism in Africa, some of the first places that come to your mind are South Africa, Morocco or Kenya, but there are so many other beautiful places to visit.

Ghana is one of my favorite destinations in Africa. Even though I am originally from Nigeria, Ghana has always been a second home to me. It’s a beautiful place, full of beautiful people and it is most definitely a tourist destination worth visiting.

If you enjoy traveling and exploring new places, then this episode is for you because I would be telling you about some of the most amazing monuments, markets, hotels, food, fashion and lifestyle in the wonderful country called Ghana.
