With the sudden arrival of winter and the fleeting moments of sunlight, I can’t help but reminisce about the two weeks I spent in Ghana this summer. Located in West Africa, Ghana is home to some of the most culturally enriching activities, delicious cuisines, and local...

Reasons To Go: Why not? You’re a 45-minute flight away, you literally land before you’ve taken off (gotta love time zones). Planes not your thing? There are no excuses here, because Eurostar offers cheap deals (think £29 one-way) all the time. It is kind of a rite of p...

London is great; we can all agree on that. Yet, it’s the sort of complicated love that demands you get away from the object of your affection every once in a while. A week on a sun-scorched beach would be ideal; however, for those of us who haven’t been blessed with en...
