Starting the year on a beautiful note!

Started the new year exploring some parts of Ghana. Guys, there are really beautiful places out here. All you need is a travel buddy with a good sense of humor and you’re all set for a wonderful time.  So this year one of my favorite humans decided to do this with me. We explored some parts of the Eastern Region and ended it with a hike on the Shai Hills in the Greater Accra Region. It was incredibly fun! There were a lot of unplanned things on the trip which made it even more exciting.

Here are a couple of cool shots we took of all the places we visited. Hope it makes you wanna go out and explore Ghana some more. I’m already thinking of where next to visit!!

On the Volta Lake
We originally planned on going to Boti Falls, but the road was definitely not one to venture especially with the car we were driving in. 😦
At this point, we turned back and headed to the Adomi Bridge
Chanced upon this hidden getaway on our way to the Adomi Bridge … It is called the FLOAT. It’s a Bed and Breakfast. Pretty cool place!

Hammocks on the Lake

I might consider coming to the FLOAT on my next visit. Very quiet and serene.
Finally got a picture taken on the Adomi Bridge!! Last time i was here, i was probably a kid. lol

Stepping into the new year like this….

Enjoyed lunch at the The Royal Senchi and took in the beautiful scenery.

Toured the Akosombo dam. More information for the tours can be found here

This is where power is generated in Ghana

 

We ended the trip by exploring the Shai Hills Resource Reserve.

Yes!! There are Zebra’s in Ghana!! Discovered these beauties at the Shai Hills Reserve

Hiked up to this point hoping to spot some antelopes
Really enjoyed the tour with this Guide! We spent close to 3 hours hiking
The Guide showing me some antelopes. I honestly couldn’t spot them. 😦

Hello there…
My name is …. lol!
It’s been one of the best Road Trips! Totally enjoyed myself. If you plan on doing this, i’ll  totally advise on going there with an SUV!

Hope you are inspired to step out and explore Ghana some more!!

With Love

The Big 30! Big deal? 

You’ll wonder why I’m so excited about my new age or why on earth i’m announcing it to the world!! Like duh! Who even cares right? Well of course you do! You wouldn’t be reading this new post if you didn’t. Hahah Gotcha!

So I turned 30 on New Years day and felt so  lucky to have witnessed the new year and my new age.  I had been meaning to do so many things before my 30th and I must say that i was blessed to have done majority of them! You know how you write up a list of things to do before 30 or a particular age and you see yourself ticking every one of them off…Yaaas!! That was what happened and it felt so good!

2018 is going to be an amazing and blessed year for me! I don’t know about you, but i believe in the power of positive thinking and positive declaration. So go ahead. Say all the things you want to do and think it into existence! Trust me! It totally works!

For my birthday, i decided to play model for a couple of hours and have a photo shoot done cos life is too short and Sobolo is too hot! Hahaha! (Nah girl, that was a fail! *face palm*)

On a more serious note these photo shoots are fun but a lot of work!! I looked ridiculous about 70% of the time. All for that perfect shot 😂😂! Did i nail it or nah?

To everyone who sent me birthday wishes through calls, texts and on social media at the stroke of midnight on the 1st of January , y’all are the real MVPs (Most Valued Players)! 🙂

Happy New Year!

30 and absolutely Fabulous!
Raw Sauce! No Ketchup!
