Getting back to Africa! Ghana! Rekindling that wanderlust!
How to get that ‘travel mojo’ back!
- Imagine all the delicious food you are missing out on! The mouthwatering fresh, exotic fruits- mangoes, jack fruit, coconut, custard apples, honey limes, watermelon- usually straight from the local farm. For your health and general well being, the cleansing and rejuvenating effect of eating tropical fresh fruits cannot be over-stressed. Not to mention all the delicious meals, with flavours and rich seasonings that excite your palette and awaken the senses…
2. Follow the fragrances! Oh the scents of the tropics! Have you ever been woken by the orange jasmine in bloom? It’s silken white blossoms adorn this evergreen tropical plant with an almost nectar like fragrance! If we could eat them we would reach the heavens 🙂 But we cannot. Just breathe in deeply and dream.
3. Listen out for the sounds: in Africa, you are in the heart of the natural kingdom, where man and his environment live still largely in harmony. Where in the world (nowhere) can you get a sense of perfect isolation, more than in a whole entire continent with a smaller population than a whole entire country…Africa has 1.2 billion inhabitants which is less than India (10 x smaller than Africa) with its ‘boasy’ population of 1.3 billion. That leaves a lot of space: land, mountains, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, plains- stretching into the 10,000s KM as far as your eyes can see, and beyond- for you to enjoy if you take the beaten track! Renew your spirit of wonder! It’s time.
4. I just love the flair of the place! Its so cool!
Remember: you’re cool! Africa is where flair and style began. The perfumes, the fabrics, the adornment, the arts, culture and love for beauty and entertainment. It’s redefining itself now, in pockets, then in waves! Accra has felt the tsunami and is birthing a new tribe- Afropolitan, Afrochella, Afropulse, Afrowhateveryoufeellikebaby…the latest flows rhythmically with the neo and into an unfamiliar scene, that everyone wants to be a part of. The happenings are relentless and, most importantly, beautiful.
How can you deprive yourself any longer?
Unleash the wanderlust flow! Get back to Africa!
