Hello Everyone
It’s been three weeks since I arrived in Ghana — and it still feels a little unreal.
When I first decided to come here, everyone in my life said the same thing:
“Are you crazy?”
Maybe I am a little. But that’s how every great story begins, right? 🌍
My assignment period is quite short — just three months — but that doesn’t matter.
Here I am, living this new chapter in Tamale, Ghana.
On my first day, my volunteer friends Louis and Oceane picked me up from the airport.
After a short tour around Tamale, we grabbed something to eat and went to the volunteer house.
Since I arrived on a Friday, I had three free days at the beginning to settle in.
The first day was all about resting. Louis and Oceane also took me grocery shopping.
The second day, I was just waiting for my soul to catch up with me.
Whenever I take a long trip (especially by plane), I always feel like I travel too fast and leave my soul behind.
When I arrive at my destination, I wait a little until my soul arrives too.
It’s a small ritual that helps me adjust emotionally to a new place.
Maybe that’s why I love slow mornings and quiet moments when I arrive somewhere new.
On my third day here, we did some mehndi for Louis, and Philip — from the organization (he’s not officially anyone’s mentor, but in practice, he’s everyone’s mentor) — came to visit me.
It was a day full of cleaning the house and writing a lot.
Now, after three weeks, I’ve started to feel more at home.
Every day I meet new people, hear new stories, and learn something unexpected about life here.
I think I’m going to have wonderful moments and unforgettable experiences in the coming weeks.
I’ll leave you with some photos from my journey, which took almost 24 hours including all the transfers.
See you very soon! ✈️💛
