Life's experiences while traveling
Hello Courtney, i came upon your blog and found you had a very interesting story to tell regarding your personal experiences in Ghana. Traveling abroad most always brings positives experiences especially with local groups and individuals. I enjoyed your story as it made me feel as if i was there with you. I think no travel experience is complete without sharing with local children not to mention all the friends one may meet along the way. Thank you for sharing your travel experiences with me this day. bob
