Lou Moon is a luxury eco-friendly resort on the shores of Axim, in the Western Region of Ghana and is currently one of my favourite out of town getaways in Ghana. It’s a beautiful place with well-kept lawns, trees, absolute peace and quiet, beautiful beaches and extremely clear blue water!
Iceland, which is a Schengen state and therefore accessible via a valid Schengen visa is an island country in the North Atlantic Ocean. It’s volcanically active and has a population of under 500,000 because [apparently] 80% of the island isn’t habitable.
The Blue Lagoon is one of their major tourist attractions, along with the Northern Lights, but those are visible only from September (and not everyday!).
If you’re looking for something different to do with your weekend, and you dont mind spending more than usual, this post is for you!
A weekend trip to Paris on a budget of ¢26,000 is possible - hotel, tickets ands everything included!
I spent the most relaxing weekend ever in Aburi at the beginning of the month! Big believer in getting out of Accra as much as you can, so during the long weekend my girls and I stayed over at the Vacationist, a new vacation home in Aburi.
3rd vacation of the year - destination IBIZA! Mini-review because this was more of a vacation than a review (problem with being a content creator- your brain never switches off. Everything is a content opportunity).
Ibiza is a Spanish island in the Mediterranean Sea off the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula which is super popular for its party scene.
Spent the most peaceful 48 hours I’ve had this month at a beach resort in Ningo Prampram called The C Residences & Resort. It was such a super quiet, super peaceful vibe I considered extending my stay. Ningo-Prampram is just about 2 hours outside Accra, which makes it a great daycation destination for those who dont want to stay overnight
Its Decemberrrr!
That means wild nights out, day parties, bottomless brunches and a much anticipated hoeing thread in January.
It also means long queues, craaaazy traffic, inflated prices.
For most people, #DettyDecember lasts for only 2 weeks and it would be a shame to lose any time to unavoidable mishaps.
These are 20 tried and tested ways to make sure your December is as Detty as possible.
Spent a few days in the mountains!
Hillburi, also known as The Resort On The Hill is an exclusive resort and getaway destination in Aburi that hosts beautiful weddings, work retreats, conferences and similar events.
The entire place has a tropical natural theme that is super relaxing; big windows, beautiful views and quiet spaces.
Tried a new grocery service last week - Sureway!
Living in Ghana generally means limited access to certain brands, which has to be a little tough on our diaspora family and they ship directly from America to Ghana in 3-5 working days so I just has to test it out.
We’re live in Morocco - #ZubzzDotComTakesMarrakesh!
After being invited to dinner with the ambassador I knew I had to visit, so my second international review of the year is dedicated to Marrakesh, Morocco!
Started my week with beautiful views on a quiet and clean beach! Belleza Beach Club is a fairly new 5 bedroom beach house rental on the Kokrobite/Langma beach, next to Wakanda Beach. It’s been open for under a year but it’s slowly becoming THE rental space in Kokrobite for obvious reasons - it’s a lovely vibe. It’s perfect for staycations, baecations, day visits, photo ops, and pretty much any beach related activity you can think of.
2 things I love - meeting women in high places (it’s all the motivation in the world) and trying new cuisines. Over the weekend I got to do both - I was invited to dinner with the Ambassador of Morocco, Her Excellency Imane Ouaadil!
Planning a wedding anytime soon?
This is how much your dream wedding could cost you at these prime locations:
It’s been such an interesting week!
I got an invitation from the Embassy of Israel to a dinner event with The Ambassador of Israel to Ghana, Liberia & Sierra Leone H.E. Ms. Shani Cooper-Zubida, who is now my new WCE. Seriously, she’s super friendly and very interesting. Plus we have the same name!
The dinner, “Taste of Israel” was curated by Israeli Masterchef Kobi Mizrahi.
Thai food is such a flavourful experience. Easily one of my top 10 cuisines. Their food is centred around rice, noodles, sauces and soups, and is made with lots of spices, sharp flavors like lemon, and peanuts. Lots and lots of peanuts (it’s insane, almost everything has peanuts. If you’re allergic or simply don’t like them, you could just have it made without).
If you’re a fan of Thai food or interested in trying it, these are 4 places in Accra and 1 in Kumasi you can get very good Thai food from
Roadtrip #6! I love finding new spaces, especially out of town.
Royal Riverside Lodge is a riverside lodge which opened a few months ago in Adonokpe in Ada, a coastal town in the greater Accra region of Ghana. They arrange pick-ups from Accra, and charges for that depend on the number of people. It’s just a 90-120 minute and ¢100-¢150 uber ride from Accra Mall so you can easily find your own way there.
The theme here is simple - they’re providing you a space to relax. There’s a pool, a restaurant, a bar, board games, a lot of open space with views - everything you need to have a peaceful break from Accra.
(You do not get to judge the name of this post. S/O to Emefa Zormelo😂❤️)
Dubai is easily one of my favourite places ever! And no, not completely based off the fact that I have NEVER had to correct anyone’s pronunciation of my name but because its absolutely beautiful. It’s definitely one of those places you need to visit at least once in your lifetime - it’s like they took all the beautiful things in this world and put them in one place.
Vacation number 5! (The plan was 10 for the year and I’m going through them fastttt) - Aqua Safari!
Aqua Safari is a beach resort in Ada, a coastal town in the greater Accra region of Ghana and is easily one of Ghana’s most popular out-of-town getaways. Depending on the traffic situation, it is a 150-180 minute drive from Accra Mall (I left at 5:30pm and got there a few minutes to 9:00pm). It’s a good location not just for overnight stays but day trips as well.
I personally LOVE date nights and I try as much as possible to plan perfect ones. Everything from the interior design (very big on pretty spaces), food served, lighting and music matters to me. Valentine’s Day is less than a month away and whether you’re in a relationship, single or married, it is the perfect opportunity to dress up and go on fancy date-nights.
There are no doubt a lot of places in Accra that meet all the requirements for an amazing date night and picking isn’t always easy, so if you’re looking for suggestions, these are my top 13 picks.
Super brief because this review was completely unplanned, but definitely worth the detour. Ankobrah Beach Resort is a resort on the shores of Axim, about 2 hours away from the Takoradi airport
They’re open for day trips as well, not just overnight stays and they arrange a lot of tours to places like Little and Great Ankobra rivers, Fort Apollonia Museum and the Nzulezu Style Village (the village on the river) and workshops for those interested in trying new things like archery and surfing.
Spent a few days in Kumasi and I got to visit the newest hotel around: Ike’s Cultural Village! It’s a boutique hotel located in the Kumasi Cultural Centre, directly opposite Ike’s Cafe and Grill and is a 15-20 minute drive from the Kumasi Airport on a good day.
A boutique hotel is a small stylish hotel and let me just say, I absolutely love the theme - the place is modelled around the clay hut aesthetic, but with a very modern twist.
4 very important basic things you should know and practice as a restaurant/food service provider in Accra
A super-brief review on my much needed get-away at Sogakope Beach Resort🏖🏖🏖. Your girl has been working overtime, so this was perfect timing.
I have a whole list of must-try cuisines, and Ethiopian has been on my list for a while soooo I finally did it!
I had an Ethiopian date night with a friend and we tried the Ethiopian buffet at Simret Ethiopian
7 hours to Istanbul, a 7 hour transit and 10 hours additional hours to Changi but hello Singapore!
