What I Learned from Travelling as a Digital Nomad for 5 Months
Whilst I have technically been a digital nomad for the last three years, i.e., living in a country where I don’t hold any working or residency visas whilst making money online, it was only this year that I fully lived the experience. I spent five months travelling through Turkey, the Netherlands, and Germany, whilst teaching English online.

Rome Travel Guide
No, this is not your typical guide where I’ll tell you that a fanny pack might not be your style but it’s mandatory in Rome (it is, but… hey, your choice). This is not your grandma’s travel guide of must-see destinations – yeah…please go to the Vatican City even if you are not religious or Catholic. This is too epic to pass up.

Yet many Asian and Lebanese are victims and this leads them to stay away from Ghanians.
