@Julien

Hello,

I'm actually in Ghana right now, with plans to eventually move to Burkina Faso. But I'll probably be in Accra, Ghana for a while. I came here from Colorado Springs, CO.

There's not much to tell about myself. I'm 71 years old, retired, with 2 children and 3 grandchildren. Most of my work history was in admin and customer service.

I've been in Accra over 5 weeks and haven't met any Black African Americans. I'm looking for a place to rent, maybe and Airbnb, near other Black expats. I would really appreciate some help with that because I don't know where to look.

Looking forward to our next chat.

Billie
