TRAVELING BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN GHANA IS FUN!

Of course it is exciting to travel by public transport in another country! Very honest, I don’t understand the transit systems in my birth country, the Netherlands, at all 😉
But the great thing about Ghana is that the people are super helpful. They will even walk you to the right car or bus if necessary. Traveling is part of your journey! Enjoy the chat with the other passengers and the beautiful views!
