I RETIRED FROM THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND BUILT MY HOME IN GHANA ON A FARM
It is estimated that at least 1,500 African Americans have moved to Ghana since 2019.
Ghana has been encouraging African Americans to move to the West African nation since 2019, urging them to connect with their African roots through the year of return initiative. The cost of living is substantially lower than in many major U.S. cities. The weather is also warm year-round. In this video, I interview Calvin who retired from the US government and has now built his home in Ghana.

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 and other parts of Africa, from the food, to the culture, to the lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and other African countries.
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.
As a Jamaican raised in Washington DC, I'm also building apartments for rent in Nsawam, just 20 minutes drive to ACCRA, your videos are inspiring a lot of us, I recently purchased 25 acres for a poultry farm. When everything is done I will invite you to show it to the world. Thank you so much for sharing
Well hello!👋🏿
I guess, I need to place your information down as well and get started. I need all my options because the exit from this land for myself, is real! By the way, I am from DC as well... Still here.
My dream is to move to Africa as well. Can you also let me know about your information?
Where in Nsawam please ?
👏🏿🇯🇲
Very good to see this brother return home - I would encourage him that whatever foods he plants from the US that he ensure it’s Non GMO and organic or get seeds from the EU (France/Italy) who ban most of not all GMO - we must protect the soil - good video Jas
I'm Ghanaian. Lived and work in U.S. for nine yrs. Now, I've been back in Ghana 11yrs now. Living and running my own business. When you live in America and return to Ghana, all you see is opportunities. It's kind of like you don't see how we're blessed here till you've been to the U.S. and back!!! I can't Wait to go on my own farming adventure. I love farming and living with nature. ❤❤❤😊
This is my guy. Exactly what happened to me after 7yrs in America, I visited Nigeria and my eyes opened to so many business opportunities.
Why other native africans can' t see those opportunities😂😂😂😂
Because of lacks exposure @@orlindomachengo8216
@@orlindomachengo8216In life the more you travel the more you'll see things.
“Anything you can do in America, you can do in Ghana….!” FACTS!!!❤
Yes indeed
l wish him well.lt's a shame most of us Africans cant wait to leave Africa but these guys are seeing the opportunity and peace we are leaving behind and are investing heavily in it.There are millions of places like this laying fallow everywhere in Africa..The grass is not always greener on the other side,let us make the best of what is in our backyard..Looking radiant Jas.❤❤Cheers.
So true and thank u 🥰
@suntanglory
Most leaving Africa may have a genuine reason,they need a pathway to livelihood, their countries and governments provide none of that, they need the seeding that is necessary to start .
I know right!
I agree with your assessment.
@@stanleyglover5534Government everywhere creat few jobs it's the private sectors that offers the most employment.
I followed my bliss and moved to Ghana in August!! Im opening a restaurant/cafe in East Legon!! Hope to meet you soon
That’s lovely
what’s the name of your restaurant?
Damn! The natural scenery is beautiful, especially the greenery on the mountain. Another Afro descendant of the Americas is living the dream... Living my dream.
I wish Calvin well in his endeavours.
It so stunning and peaceful 🥰
Thank you
@@user-wu7sk4rl4z that has been addressed. The buffer zone is 1/2 mile.
@user-wu7sk4rl4z there is houses throughout the area on the mountain and below
Hey Calvin, I messaged you on your website and haven't gotten a response. Where are you located? Are you close to the entrance to the Shai hills reserve?
Thank you for visiting my farm
It was lovely to meet you Calvin 🥰
Hey Calvin, my wife and I have a pig farm not to far from you. We should set up a time to visit. We are both US Army veterans living in Ghana 🇬🇭
@@ronaldchatman9144 you're welcome to visit
I would love it visit
Had to save this video for inspiration. The mountains and vast lands is exactly what I want. Will make this happen by Gods grace ❤💯🤞
Good luck
My brother Living Like Heaven My Brother need stop discrimination ni Africa Africa people need stand up to say Africa people first and sister its your country go to stop Indian restaurants close 👍👍👍

My dream is to build a resort, a retreat/hideaway up in such a mountain.
It's my dream to come and live in ghana ❤❤❤
Hope you make it here soon 🙏🏾💕
@roset4018
Ghana welcomes you home with open arms . ❤
I love my country rich country just poorly managed by our leaders . Once u have the opportunity to travel do and don’t forget to do something back home … it only gets better when you have the money to do great things back home and don’t forget to move back to enjoy your property in your retirement probably earlier life is soo short 😅
Wow, I visited there when I was in Ghana in September! He is such an inspiration, and so willing to share information. I am thrilled to see you there, blessings to you all!
Oh lovely ☺️
Such a kind and generous man met him the at west hills mall today and he paid for my groceries.
Aw how lovely
Thank you for your kind words
I love the container/modern homes. I never understood why Ghanaian people love those huge mansions. This would be my dream.
I agree
I agree
What a beautiful property! Ghana is such a rich country. Thank you for the content. I hope Calvin prospers there and can continue to be a blessing to his community.
Thanks

❤
Welcome 🙏🏻Home Sweet home Ghana 🇬🇭is Our Motherland ✌️❤️🙏🏻
Very good to see this brother return home - I would encourage him that whatever foods he plants from the US that he ensure it’s Non GMO and organic or get seeds from the EU (France/Italy) who ban most of not all GMO - we must protect the soil - good video Jasmine
Absolutely, we must protect our natural crops. We must eat healthy to avoid cancer and other diseases from gmo engineered foods supply.
I love this!! Would love to retire there as well. From upstate NY so did a lot of farming!
Congratulations my Good Man!
I am very proud of you!
I retired 10 years ago and I built my retirement home in Chado (near Labadi beach in Accra) last year!
Oh lovely
Thank you
I am so inspired by Calvin’s story, and I want to visit his farm.
Contact me when you are ready to visit
Am following my bliss oo....coming to Ghana!
Wohoo 🥰
He looks much healthier than last him on a Ytube video
That's crazy that an Indian restaurant had that type of sign in Ghana! I'm African American and have visited Ghana and I really liked my time there. I love my life in the US however I will definitely be back to visit again.
So good to hear. I know i was shocked about that too..
Big up Calvin....we all appreciate you too😊
Hello friend!! Love to see what you've built for yourself and watching your journey, so proud of you Calvin! Much love🎉
Great content, greetings from Kenya. Ghana we love you.❤
Aw 🙏🏾❤️
On the topic of the Indian restaurant
Jasmin, I expect a clear opinion and discussion from you on such a topic. „Wow interesting is not enough“
Nice Video like usually ❤
Calvin's farm is great. The land is beautiful with the green mountains behind it. He has a lot of interesting experiences to share. I enjoyed this kind of interview. Almost like being there. Excellent video. I like that he pays his employees well. They become more productive when you value their skills and work.
I love your content. Much love from Kenya.
Money transfer part got me😂😂. He's enjoying the best of his life.✌🏿✌🏿
Thanks
@@SHAI-HILLSi had the same.problem with thr banks when I was in Ghana last October. Had to come back to the states to fix it. Usa banks be effin up the program
I looooooved the interview with this guy. He is so right about tribalism in Africa and his mindset on how to treat his employees. We rather be panafricanists. I personally don't understand how in Africa we accept to be mistreated. This is hands down one of the best interviews in your channel. By the way is farm is good project and that mountain as a backgound? Amazing! I hope it's going to be preserved. I've really enjoyed this vlog.
My operation will not effect the mountainside
Thanks for sharing my cousin's dream.
I knew I saw this house today, passed by the main road on my way to the Volta region❤. Very nice interview, this man is really intelligent.
Thank you for your compliment.
Wawo, the area view is beautiful
God bless this guy he said that he wouldn’t take advantage of the people that look like him I admire that
“Great job on the tubing! Your efforts really shine, and it’s clear you put in a lot of hard work. Keep up the excellent work!” I can’t to visit Ghana. I hope we can meet . Take care and be well, Jasmine.
Thank u Taylor, i hope u make it soon 💕
