About me

 I fell in love with Ghana when I studied at the University of Ghana in 2004. I have lived there again sense and traveled there a third time in 2011. I have started Green Bug Adventures to share the wonderful places and people that I have met along the way. I hope to spread throughout west Africa in the coming years.
