When I was in Ghana, some people advised me against travelling there. However, one woman lied to me that I will make a lot of money in South Africa looking at the kind of work I do. She even said I will be paid every hour and that, I will receive the money in dollars.

The mother of one added that, she was hit by the harsh reality of life in South Africa when she arrived there and started working.

For 2 to 3 months, the woman I was working with didn't pay me because she had to recoup the money she spent on my travel there. The way she treated me was so bad, so I quit working with her after six months to start afresh.

When they’re in Ghana, they’ll be complaining & talking about Ghana thinking that the grass is greener on the other side of the world until they travel outside Ghana. I’d rather stay in Ghana & struggle than to travel to certain countries & suffer there.

South Africa is not a good place to travel to. I know this because I used to be there before coming to America. People are really suffering over there and they don't like foreign people.
