Hey All! This Valentine's weekend marked my first non-ISEP adventure, and boy, was it awesome! Traveling in small groups is definitely the way to go. Our destination? A small fishing village two hours east of Accra, Ada Foah. We (myself and about eight other people) left early Saturday morning and made it to our accommodations without a hitch. I had done a little scouting adventure to the local Tro Tro stations earlier in the week to take out away any guess work. We stayed at the Dreamland Beach Resort, where quality was much more important than quantity...they only have four rooms.. [View Full Entry]

Hey all! Sorry for the delay in updates. Daily life, and weekend excursions have kept me pretty busy. It just occurred to me though that I've been gone for about a month...which is really weird because it seems both like I just left yesterday, and like I've been here forever. Huh. I'm just a walking paradox. At any rate, so much has happened since last I wrote. Classes, Kumasi, Cape Coast, Kakum... lots of C's and K's. I'll try and keep it brief...but I make no promises... actually, I'll gonna tell ya write now, this is gonna take awhile. In fact, [View Full Entry]

Hey all! Hope you're in a reading mood, because this could take awhile. Thanks for all of the warm wishes, comments, prayers, and thoughts. Keep them coming! They mean so much to me, I just love reading them! Now, a lot has taken place since last time I wrote, so I'll try and fill in all of the holes. And don't worry, many more pictures are still to come! We've started our Twi (sounds a lot like tree) Language courses. Our professor is great, really funny, very friendly and a gifted linguist. I can tell we're in good hands. Hopefully I'll [View Full Entry]

Hey!! Looks like I lucked out today, the internet is running pretty fast! So why not do a few updates before my classes get underway right? So, for the last few days of orientation we spent outside of the campus, much to my enjoyment! One of the major factors that went into my decision to study abroad was the environment of not just the school but the area surrounding it; I wanted something completely different. In essence, I was looking for something big. And I definitely got what I wanted! The hamlet known as Emporia and the small town of Manhattan [View Full Entry]

Wow...I'm in Ghana. It still hasn't fully set in just yet! Okay, so I have about a 20 stories to tell and I've only been gone for four days. Unfortunately this is my third try at this, because the internet here is not just slow and limited, but it's also a little fickle too. I'm also on the clock right now so I'm going to have to make this short. I promise that my next blog will be much longer, more detail, less scatter brained with the possibility of some pictures and maybe even a video. Alright so, flights went really [View Full Entry]

I'm about 12 days away from the biggest adventure of my life, Ghana! I'm excited and nervous, happy and anxious, man, I'm feeling the whole spectrum of emotions right now! But hey, that's all to be expected right? At any rate, I can't wait for this journey to begin, meeting new people, going new places, making new memories, are all right up my alley but I still have no idea just what to expect. The not knowing, the jumping into the unknown...that definitely makes everything ten times better! I'm mostly all packed up, giving my final farewells and holding onto my [View Full Entry]
