The land of safaris, polepole, and changing climates. Although my time in Kenya has almost come to an end then I have only now gotten the time and space to actually write about it. Or rather, I have synthesised the … Continue reading Karibu Kenya
Well, writing this took a little longer than expected, or rather publishing this took longer than expected. Let me just get right back to where I left off last time… Experiencing new things is definitely something I came to do … Continue reading No, I haven’t died! part 2
My heartfelt apologies for not updating you guys as often as I’ve promised. Last weeks have been crazy in every single way imaginable, and I have gotten into living my very best life here in Ghana to the fullest. This … Continue reading No, I haven’t died! part 1
Everyone who knows me is well aware that I have never been a very ‘beachy’ person, beaches with their sand and water and gorgeous girls in bikini have always left me quite cold – I’m just not into laying on … Continue reading Cape Coast getaway
Attending University of Ghana is my number one priority here, as would be expected, right? Two weeks into the second semester and I can honestly say university here is different from what I’m used to in Norway/Estonia. I’ll give an overview of the courses I’m taking here, how my first lectures have been, and the ‘weird’ language my professors/lecturers use; and, if I have time, the struggles of living on a huge campus as University of Ghana campus in Legon is. The courses offered here in the English and Linguistics departments are amazing. It was honestly difficult to choose, because … Continue reading Uni life

I honestly feel like it would be possible to publish a whole book about living in Ghana, and the struggles I have to go through because I’m used to such different things. Even now, the internet in my room has … Continue reading Settling in
HOT hot.hot.hot.hot.. and humid I’m sure I’ll forever remember my very very first impression of Ghana, which is the moment I stepped outside of the slightly airconditioned airport and the heatwave in Ghana just hit me. And I thought that … Continue reading First week in Ghana
*joke’s on me and you both, because I’m in Ghana already I’m guessing everyone has heard already, but yes, I decided to do something crazy fun and go on exchange – to Ghana. I’ll be talking about why Ghana (and how did I eventually end up with this decision), the nerve-wrecking waiting time to get an answer to my application, and then how in two weeks I got all of my paperwork in order and how I am now on my way to Ghana. Tho when this goes live then I’ll already be in Accra, and it’s just a little … Continue reading Wait, I’m going to Ghana?*
I’ve caught myself thinking about India more than usual lately. I can’t deny it’s been on my mind every single day since the day I left on November 14th 2015, yet lately I can’t shake the feeling of yearning to … Continue reading India on my mind
The road goes ever on and on
