Americans in Ghana

If you´ve been to Lagos Ghana will be a piece of cake for you. Don´t worry about the police, they might ask you for bribes but that´s it. Probably they will ignore you since you are not Ghanaian.

There are quite a lot of Americans there. Those that I know of are African Americans of the diaspora who have moved to Ghana in search of their ancestral roots. Several thousands of them if I am correct.

It can be quite costly if you lead the same life style as in US. Local food is in expensive though. Bring what you need for personal hygiene if you can. You can buy it in Ghana but it will cost you more.

There are good and there are bad clinics but make sure that you have the name and direction to the best ones before you get sick.

Ghana is a peaceful place, especially for us  women. I feel safer than I do up here in Sweden and this is considered a calm country. You don´t have to worry about Ghana. I would be more concerned if I was going to the States .You´ll love it.
Feel free to ask anything.
