Some areas she spoke about include shelter, health, and shopping in Ghana, among others.

The first topic she touched on was the choice between moving into one's own apartment and renting. In Jasmine Ama's opinion, it was more appropriate to rent, considering that areas that are now developing do not have good roads. She said even though she put up her own home and lived there, she later rented because of the stress involved in coming to town.

The next tip she gave was to get travel medical insurance. Jasmine Ama said several companies offer great packages for travellers to consider.

Another piece of advice she gave was for travellers to bring some of the things that make them comfortable along. She explained that even though many products found abroad are also sold in Ghana, it is better to have at least a year’s supply of essential items like pomade and others so one does not waste time looking for them in Ghana.

Jasmine Ama also advised that people who want to relocate to Ghana must schedule a vacation. She explained that because of the relaxed life in Ghana, many do not go on holiday.

“But there is a lot to explore in Ghana. So make it a point to go on holidays and explore Ghana.”

Her final tip for people who want to relocate was to build their network. She explained that one can start building one's network from the people who render services to them—for example, the waiter, the market woman, and many more.

“Always tip the people who render services. Get their names and contacts, and they may be of help one day.”
