    My name is Jasmine and I have relocated from Sydney Australia to Ghana in west Africa as of the year 2020.
    My parents are of Ghanaian descent and so am I although I was born in Australia. Here on my channel, my goal is to give you a real glimpse into what it’s like to live in Ghana, from the Ghanaian food, to the Ghanaian culture, to the Ghanaian lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and help inspire to explore Ghana.
    My prayer is that these videos do just that for several African’s in the diaspora.
    Follow your bliss because life is short, follow your bliss because human life has no intrinsic value, follow your bliss because everything happens for the greater good and follow your bliss because it has all happened before.

      @@MrPdeps don't let me see, when we are born it is in one place. If he was born in British and Jamaica he would have been the first human being in history. British and Jamaicans are nationalities not race. you cannot be a mixture of nationalities 😂😂😂. The only thing more ignorant than his statement is your question. Only people with self-hate will mix up race with nationality cuz they don't want to confront who they are. That's my psychological evaluation of the situation so you must be one of those.

    I'm gonna dine at Steve and Joy's place. How about pinpointing on a map each place you visit in Ghana? This helps people know exactly where you are and the distance to be traveled. Whether it's north , south, east or west? Keep it up!
