Akawaaba Means Welcome

On May 12, 2008 I boarded a plane for the first time, to leave the country for the first time. I was embarking upon a great journey to the country of Ghana in West Africa. Everything was so new- the airplane safety regulations, the crowds of people, everything. I was a little anxious and only hoped to arrive in the major city of Accra safely with my luggage. I did. My arrival was a beginning and an end. It was the beginning of cultural and self exploration and the end of ignorance. Months later I am still processing my stay there. Welcome to my blog where you can read some entries from the journal I kept in Ghana, the required comprehensive journals, and contemporary updates on the affects of my journey.
