Hello, fellow adventurers! I'm Rashida, your not-so-typical travel guide with a story that is as twisted as a pretzel. I once dreamed of being a pilot. However, my brain and science? Let's just say they're not on speaking terms. So, what is a dreamer to do? Pivot, of course! Now, I travel and share my exciting adventures with travelers like you!

Welcome to life as a Traveler

Raise your hand if you have ever felt overwhelmed planning a trip and you didn't even know where to start gathering information. Don’t worry, you aren't alone. I have often felt the same, especially anytime I planned a trip to a new destination for the first time. 

Always trying to figure out the best memorable things to do with the short time you have, where to stay so you have access to the best the country has to offer, cuisines you shouldn't miss out on and understanding local customs and lifestyle so you can blend in like a local.

We’re so glad to have you here!

I created this blog to help travelers exploring Ghana and Africa have access to helpful travel resources and advice from local experts to create lasting travel memories. 

This is a place where you can find not only resources and information to help you plan and explore new countries, but also community and support. We’re not about information overload and trying to get you to do 100 things in a destination or else! We believe that everyone travels in their own way at their own pace and we help you plan accordingly. We are also about traveling and making an impact in the communities we come across.
