Decided to one day finally turn off her TV, row off her deserted island located in the remote north sea and find out if utopia exists. Status: Still Searching....
Norwegian/Scottish lady man who grew up in Stavanger-Norway, London-UK, Aberdeen-UK, New Orleans-USA, Fjoeloey (island)-Norway with her family, but moved to NYC-USA when 18 to go to College which resulted in moving to Geneva-Switzerland, Dakar-Senegal, and now currently Accra-Ghana.
Loves traveling, painting, volleyball, orange hair, long walks on beaches, and obviously horseback riding into the sunset with Mr. Right (hint hint).

The Mother Theresa's School for Girls
Africa » Ghana » Greater Accra » Accra
After a local study shockingly revealed that there is a high rate of school dropouts (ca. 50%), primarily young girls, within coastal fishing towns and villages throughout Ghana, The Child Education and Welfare Fund decided to set up The Mother Teresa School for Girls in Senya Bereku. Senya Bereku is a coastal town in the Awutu-Effutu-Senya District in the Central Region of Ghana. As a natural consequence of its location, the sea provides the main occupation through fishing. Whilst the men do the actual catching of the fish, the women process and market the fish to domestic consumer [View Full Entry]
I've always been one of those believers that travel blogging would be a lame thing, but not yet sure if thats mostly because i cannot be asked to figure out how to work the overly complex sites or if im plain lazy. And how much fun is it really for someone to read a travel blog? Lord knows, i have had a couple of people fall asleep while showing them the thousands of photos from various places. "And this is when we took a walk." But hey im going to start a travel blog, because if you don't want to read [View Full Entry]

before i forget...THE PRESIDENT OF SIERRA LEONE
Africa » Ghana » Greater Accra » Accra
NOVEMBER 2007 I'm sorry but this has been an amazingly weird day so far, and i just wanted to tell you ALL the details before they slip my mind and my only focus is hand washing my underwear. Yesterday i found out that the (newly elected-not the warlord-for you jason) president of Sierra Leon was coming to our office today, because he is a former insurance broker and a student of my boss. He is in Ghana trying to find investment or firms interested in rebuilding Sierra Leon (for those of you that did not know there was a horrible civil [View Full Entry]
