Richard Osei Anim, one of the thirteen Ghanaians who travelled from Accra to London, has revealed when they got they got the idea to embark on the journey.

Richard narrated that the Wanderlust Ghana team had been driving around Ghana for a long time, and there were no corners in the country they had not been to.

A historic idea over whisky

Richard Osei Anim and Kwabena Peprah have been named as the masterminds behind the journey.

According to Richard the two of them were one day drinking whisky when he suggested to Kwabena that they drive to London since they have toured Ghana so many times.

"One day, we were just having a chat and a drink, and I'm like, you know we could drive to London, and in his drunken stupor, he was like, why not...It was good old whisky that inspired us to go on this journey"

In the group, Kwabena Peprah is a perfectionist, so he started planning the trip.

"He is the guy with the OCD in our team. When we get an idea, he is the one who is going to create an Excel spreadsheet," Richard said about Kwabena.
