Yes, my life in Ghana has changed drastically. Before coming to Ghana I worked 9-5 in the investment banking sector in the UK.  I now run the Villa Sankofa Guest House in Ejisu Ashanti region. I design and build this project by myself which took some time but it is finally hear and is now operating. My job is no longer 9-5 but 24 hours day 7 days a week. I have very little time to myself as operating this 10 room Guest House is more than a challenge. Getting reliable staff to work is the biggest challenge of all. However, I like the peace and tranquility of my surroundings, the greenery and the sound of the birds chirping in the mornings and evenings is a blessing to say the least.  I occasionally host Kumasi Expat get together at the Villa Sankofa for socializing. I also enjoy occasional outings with my visitors from outside Ghana and the Climate is very similar to that of my native country Jamaica.
