Ghana has some hidden treasures which aren’t being promoted enough. The country is filled with waterfalls hiding beneath clusters of jungle vegetation, mountains begging to be climbed and canyons with gaping mouths yelling for discovery.
Thankfully, there are quite a number of tour operators looking to change this and put Ghana on the tourism map of ‘Places to Explore in Africa’. One such operator is See Afrique which is about to launch another tour operation with #ClimbAfadzato2015 .
Food festival!! Accra has been filled with many events these past two months. From ChaleWote to The Ghana Garden & Flower Show, each event brought with it its own delightful content ranging from artworks, cultural music, local greenery and natural hairstyles. And now the city experienced food of all kinds at the Accra Premium Food Festival.
The two-day festival by Accra Premium was held at Alliance Francais and it was a busy people-packed event with food vendors enticing us with mouth-watering food.
#ChaleWote2015 was filled with many naturalista's and I caught up with the really eye-catching ones and had a chat with them on their natural hair journey and what name they had for their hairstyle as part of #MyKpenkpeshie series.

Dubbed African Electronics, this years' chose to focus on how WE BE TECHNOLOGY with the innovation and creativity to achieve the impossible. By working collaboratively and fuelling our resources in one blended direction, we shift our reality.
Congratulations to Seth Kwame Boateng of JoyFm for winning the GJA Best Journalist Award for 2014! I felt so proud of him (never met him before) as he gave thanks to God for this miracle. A miracle because he started out as a receptionist at Love Fm. From a receptionist to a National Award winner! He poured praise on his wifeas he quoted Proverbs 18:22 and how he found favor because of her. I wish I could have seen her face. As a last born of 17 children this is how far the Lord has brought him.
The workshop was duly opened by The Deputy Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Hon. Dzifa Gomashie who stressed on how committed the government was on developing tourism in Ghana. She also called for more collaboration with other countries to brand the continent.
FashionistaGh held its annual shopping festival once again and it was still an unmissable event. The three day shopping festival #fghshop2015 was all hustle and bustle in the bristling 33 degree heat. Despite numberous air-conditioning, the heat just refused to leave the white enclave drenching both vendors and buyers in uncompromising sweat! Nevertheless both participants had a grand time strolling through hundreds of stands and emptying their pockets for the latest African fashion and accessories.
Its that time of year where fashionistas, fashion bloggers, fashion labels, beauty brands and food vendors gather to eat, shop, take selfies and do more shopping! #Fghshop an initiative by FashionistaGh has been an annual shopping festival in Ghana for the past three years. Its happening once again at the International Trade Fair Centre, Pavilion A and starts from 10am to 8pm each day.
The 8th of every March is International Women’s Day globally and this year’s observance was held as usual since its first on February 28, 1909 in New York.
