You're at home and free Brother. Can't trade this for nothing. The feeling is like a genie from a bottle. All of a sudden the whole body, mind and soul start to heal. Stay blessed Brother. 👌👍
The Spirit of Africa: it opens your heart and makes u feel alive. In America u literally feel like u are too busy to even live life or care about people
Wow! The responses from this video affirms that so many of us are really interested in reconnecting with our roots! Thank you all for the support! Let's get to 2K subscribers! Grateful for the humble beginning!
This is interesting to hear. I know that feeling you felt in the beginning, at first i felt out of place around Ghanaians, when I first landed in Ghana, because of the cultural differences and the spoken dialect barrier, but I soon began to learn the culture and the dialect and reconnected with our people on the continent
"Dialect"is just a pejorative and racist term coined by Europeans to diminish Africans! I wouldn't call Welsh or Luxembourgish a language while dismissing Yoruba as a "dialect".
Hey bro I agree with you 100% I was born and raised in Gh Left Ghana when I was 19/20years of age Came back after 16/17 years of hutzle In Germany It’s took me 10 whole days before I understood what’s was going on Mehn .......A A coming over in Ghana and stay You get my Respect 💪🏾👍🏾 All I can say is Akwaaba We love you Guys ❤️
You don't need to learn every culture heritage to enjoy Ghana but it would be a great leverage for you to know which Cultural community you'd prefer to settle in.. There are many cultural taste in Ghana 🇬🇭... All 16 regions..
When it comes to your kids feel free let them associate with the kids in the neighborhood that's how a lot of us grow up you will be good Bro 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
One day.... just one day... very soon... Africa will rise again and all our sons and daughters living in different parts of the world that have been subjected to racial segregation and divides will come back HOME
Wooooow you are immersing yourself. I'm proud of you my American cousin :D! I legit forgot your were American when you switched your accent. Languages skills on fleek lol. Make friends with other ex-pats from across the diaspora, they're out there in Ghana. Even if they are expats of ghanian descent that's even better because they are learning how to fit in as well. Legit this i how I felt when I went to Grenada, my parents home country for the first time. Culture shock! But I still have to master the accent because I'm not used to speaking that way everyday. Here in Canada if you live outside of Toronto or the GTA (Greater Toronto Area), that where you experience racism more often. But I never really thought about being black in a negative way when I was a child because our friends were black, asian, white like the united nations basicallyu. But once I move outside of Toronto that;s when I heard the N-word in person for the first time. Same thing with my black girl friends who grew up outside of Toronto in the smaller suburban towns... .they expereinced racism all the time. Thankfully the smaller towns have become super divers now because people from Toronto cannot afford buy homes in Toronto so you move outside of the GTA. But I still would prefer if my future kuds grow up in an african country and also spend half their time in Grenada, like for the summer.
Hey, I'm from Canada and I just started developing a homestead in the Volta Region. I will be traveling to Ghana for the first time in November and I want to thank you for sharing your experiences because this is definitely my concern. I will subscribe to your channel.
You can be yourself in Ghana. No police brutality, no discrimination, you can live your quality life, enjoy your organic food. Me and my wife and our two kids are coming to Ghana this December. PEACE AND BLESSINGS
You are right. The freedom in Ghana is something you cannot describe when you land in the country especially if you have lived in the west for some years
I just came across your channel. It's awesome that you are raising your son in Africa, he won't know the racism and all the other "isms'" that we grew up with. He'll be able to actually breathe, have a REAL childhood and won't have the experiences of the kids trying to survive in the U.S. I wish I had done the same thing for my child. Well done❤️✊🏾
Hahaha wow I love your brutal honesty. I was born in Ghana but currently living in Texas so I get you completely. Yes we have our struggles but the positives outweigh the negatives. The FREEDOM to breath in Ghana alone is immense. Thanks for this video and enjoy your stay. Wouldn't mind linking up with you on my next trip.
those good things he mentioned about, for instance, that he doesn't feel his blackness, that he would find in all west African countries. That is just the effect of the contrast of living in a mono racial/black majority environment versus a multi-racial one. They are not really unique to ghana.
I would definitely recommend becoming a part of expat groups I’ve heard they have events that you can meet people. I wish y’all the best of luck and I know you will develop more friendships
I love the way you described the feeling of liberation as a Black American when you’re in Ghana. I got chills listening to it because I resonate with it so much. When I went hiking and spent time alone outside, I felt so free and closely connected to my ancestors. I can’t wait to return and eventually make Ghana my home.
I remember you Tim, over 12 years ago, you came with a few Americans to my UNIVERSITY HOSTEL, you guys were so friendly. You even allowed us to cook for you. You are truly an African and down to earth God BLESS YOU . I relocated to UK for 11 years now but I come to Ghana every 3 months, I hope to meet you on a good mission so I can contribute.. GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY
You look great and seems you are at peace. I understand it takes time to adjust but you will get there. Immerse yourself with the culture. Understand that you are leaving america and think African as in spiritually and mentally. To make you feel better you are in the most peaceful country in Africa and the people are the most friendly. We are all African first and we are one people. I don't know if you realize this but we black people everywhere think of each other as one when compared to other races of the world. Dont regret your decison you made a smart one, you see Africa is changing and this change is unprecedented. Much love
Interesting narrative bro, it's like my reverse experience moving to Canada, had to learn to adjust and acclimatized on all spectrum Listening to you just resonates some of the challenges I went through and still experience as an african in corporate America, you're doing just fine and am proud of you, you've paved the way for many to come experience the dynamics of living a meaningful life and enjoying life to the fullest, can't wait to return Cheers
My father has a house in adenta. I love 28 years of my life in Ghana all you say is facts. But for the relationship just try to connect with other you tubers you will feel at home. A lot of them
Thank you for this video by far is one of the best videos I am looking to move to the continent within 24 months and Ghana is on my list I felt that when you said I felt free stop the feeling of Americans never felt before and that's what's missing so thank you for this video
You are giving people a good objective analysis that they can learn from. This is content is what people need to hear if they plan to go to Ghana for a long period of time.
Thanks for shedding some light on this beautiful country of ghana. With the exception of a few inconveniences and high cost of living ghana does offer a truly refreshing experience. You start to feel alive and free again..
This is one of the most relatable videos I have seen on UA-cam. I don't know where you are from but I feel like we are family. You sound like my cousins and I appreciate the way you have articulated the experience.
The first time I came to Ghana I had a ball! But you are correct, it's a huge difference between being on vacation and living as an expatriate. Although, you will learn to overcome most obstacles. Which really aren't that challenging.
Love your description of #5. And I couldn't agree with you more on the friendship issue. Am Ghanaian hoping to move back and that has been my struggle. Hang in there, it will get better. Thanks for sharing your experience.
please they are many UA-camr from outside in ghana and you would connect and your children would get who to play with. and lastly please I know you will get friends and if you get you will get them many . lots of love from Uganda
Subscribed brother!! This is exactly what I was looking for..looking to visit this year for the first time..this place is crazy..trying to find a spot to retire to. Just to be human and live as a free human..lord..i can't imagine
Very good video.......I’ve been to several African countries and Ghana is one of them. I plan on returning in July 2021 and bringing a group of African Americans with me. When I visit Africa I experience a sense of instant relief as soon as the plane lands. I realize how much stress I have been internalizing on a daily basis here in America. Do you find Ghana to be expensive? I know it is more expensive than most African countries. How much money would a person need to have in order to be considered rich in Ghana?
Aww Tim, welcome home to you and yours. No place like home. Good you highlight all the little nuances. We want you all African Americans to come back, visit, invest, heal your souls. Please come and visit regularly even if you don't come to live. Come and make connections and you will find that you even deal with the racism in America better. To know that you have a non judgemental place to go is healing to your souls. Come and let's build Africa together ❤. You deserve a piece of the pie
Great video. Very insightful, done in love, and with tenderness. I can’t wait to pull off this heavy coat of aggression and be free. Sending love from Texas. 🥰🌍
I appreciate your video thank you for been so real and giving the concepts simply put but with depth you are awesome ! God bless you & your beautiful family 😇🙌
Yes Bro Ì feel You,taking one for the cause got me cracking up. You're allowed to decline fufu politely. My bro though born in Ghana never ate fufu & Kenkey. Watching from Sydney Australia
It is quite interesting to hear your comment on what it is like to live in a Black country. As a Ghanaian living in the US I tell some of my friends that until they visit a Black country, they have never seen themselves in a mirror.
I came across your interview and I was impressed!! I would love to visit that country, I heard that you had a program of people are interested in visiting the country I would like information on that. Great interview!
I just came across this video and found it extremely helpful because of your honesty. Thank you. How are things going for you and your family these days?

"All of a sudden the whole body, mind
and soul start to heal"
So true. exactly my experience in december 2019
The Spirit of Africa: it opens your heart and makes u feel alive. In America u literally feel like u are too busy to even live life or care about people
Please bro, definitely feel free. Most importantly always be yourself. Much respect
I feel you brother. I'm Ghanaian living in America and you hit the nail right on the head. Keep on your good work and a lot of respect to you.
You’re home brother! Much love ❤️

Making friends here is one of the most difficult things. I feel you.
Reach out to him now
Akwaaba, brother. With your wonderful attitude you'll soon find real connections and family among Ghanaians, and I have no doubt you will thrive.
Hey bro
I agree with you 100%
I was born and raised in Gh
Left Ghana when I was 19/20years of age
Came back after 16/17 years of hutzle In Germany
It’s took me 10 whole days before I understood what’s was going on
Mehn .......A A coming over in Ghana and stay
You get my Respect 💪🏾👍🏾
All I can say is Akwaaba
We love you Guys ❤️
Chale, you got me bad there when you switched accents.... Ahaaaa...... You no longer have a target on your head, you can breathe brother.
You don't need to learn every culture heritage to enjoy Ghana but it would be a great leverage for you to know which Cultural community you'd prefer to settle in.. There are many cultural taste in Ghana 🇬🇭... All 16 regions..

Look at the Acheampong family, UA-cam channel, they are from the Netherland , they have2 children and they are in Accra!
Please do reach out to them please 🙏
The freedom to live! Thanks bro!
My Man!!! Really amazing. You can do the Ghanaian accent. Repect! I can't do that even for 5 min consecutively
I like your Ghanaian accent. It's on point.. I see you already know how to navigate the Ghanaian society
Very interesting perspective. Hold on and enjoy Africa. Things may not always be easy but it is worthwhile.
Indeed. Thanks for the love.
Keep it up bro. U r indeed freee to live as a person in Africa.
You can be yourself in Ghana. No police brutality, no discrimination, you can live your quality life, enjoy your organic food. Me and my wife and our two kids are coming to Ghana this December. PEACE AND BLESSINGS
Amen1000! Thanks for the love!
You are right. The freedom in Ghana is something you cannot describe when you land in the country especially if you have lived in the west for some years
Charleey don't worry you will soon develop authentic relationship
Africans, we are one of the kind, so my brother Tim don’t worry.
I just came across your channel. It's awesome that you are raising your son in Africa, he won't know the racism and all the other "isms'" that we grew up with. He'll be able to actually breathe, have a REAL childhood and won't have the experiences of the kids trying to survive in the U.S. I wish I had done the same thing for my child. Well done❤️✊🏾
Try to go to one of their language school , that will help you get closer to the public and allow your kids to have fun with your neighbours.
I liked the video when the accent changed. #Integrate
Hahaha wow I love your brutal honesty. I was born in Ghana but currently living in Texas so I get you completely. Yes we have our struggles but the positives outweigh the negatives.

FREEDOM IS REAL IN GHANA AND BEING HOME YOU EXPERIENCE IT THE FREEDOM AND IT IS REAL.

Maybe join ex-pat clubs, events or meetup groups online. Or you might have to start your own clubs to meet people.
