New York, I love you.
It’s funny, I never had a lack of things to blog about in Ghana—everything was so different from what I had known and I knew most of my readers (hi Mom!) didn’t know much about West Africa.

I can’t even imagine staying in one place for more than a few weeks at a time, never mind a few months! … Continue reading
