    So many westerners talk about moving to Europe, Latin America and Southeast Asia. But I'm enjoying the videos about Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire despite not having African heritage. How might a person choose to be in Accra versus Abidjan? They have so many similarities.

    • @ThisGalTravels
      @ThisGalTravels  5 місяців тому

      I don't have African heritage (obviously) and I love it here. The culture is very welcoming.
      I haven't been to Abidjan, so I can't contribute to your comparison.
      Word is that Tema, near Accra might actually be a better place to live because it still has everything and there's less traffic - and you're still not far from Accra for those Accra-specific activities. Just something to check out if you're truly interested in moving here.

    Hi, again, Trina. How many North Americans would you say actually come all the way to Ghana as SNOWBIRDS in the winter for a couple or few months as compared to moving there permanently? Somehow I think there should be an appeal no less than the Caribbean or Mexico and Panama, but possibly withou the Cons of those places.

    • @ThisGalTravels
      @ThisGalTravels  5 місяців тому

      I think the snowbirds that come to Ghana are mostly from Europe. The distance doesn't really make it a snowbird destination for US/Canada. But I'm really not sure.

    • @ThisGalTravels
      @ThisGalTravels  5 місяців тому +1

      Sorry, I don't. I tried to contact an agent in Accra and had a rather negative experience. Up here in Tamale, I had a friend helping me. Even though I've ended up living here for a couple of years due to certain circumstances, I'm more about travel than moving here. though I'm happy to share what I know.
      Maybe you can join a FB group or find a subreddit to ask for recommendations for a reliable agent.

    Is it true that Ghana, including Accra, is frequently hit with electricity shortages and has unstable WiFi coverage?

    • @ThisGalTravels
      @ThisGalTravels  5 місяців тому +1

      I wouldn't say frequent. But it's not uncommon. Usually they don't last too long, sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes a few hours, but it really depends on where you are.
      As far as internet, yeah, it's fairly slow. Some places have fiber connection and that's what saves me.

      @dovygoodguy1296 actually, Tamale isn't too bad for the electrical grid. Sometimes there are outages but they can be very short, usually. And we're starting to get fiber. I honestly don't know which city truly has it best.

      The mall I grew up in was, at the time, the largest mall in the world. Bigger isn't always better. I appreciate the size of Accra mall. But I understand. If it doesn't have the kind of stuff you're looking for, then it's just not for you. My city had 3 malls, and there was one that I definitely didn't care for because there was nothing there for me.
