If you’re looking for an enchanting and adventurous holiday that you’ll remember forever, think Ghana!

A tropical paradise located on the Gulf of Guinea, and only a few degrees north of the Equator, my country Ghana is very friendly, peaceful, and politically stable– full of extremely helpful and welcoming people — an ideal destination for both first time and regular travelers to Africa.

I have lived most of my life here on this tropical paradise that I call home. I’ve traveled the length and breath of my country, and I’d love to share this adventure with you. So sit back, tighten up… and explore some of the wonderful attractions that await you in Ghana, such as:

• Endless exotic adventure. Want to experience life on a village built on a river supported only by wooden tilts? Huh!
• UNESCO accredited World Heritage Centers, including the slave dungeons used as transit points during the infamous slave trade era
• Rich and diverse bio-diversity, including many plant and animal species not found anywhere else on this whole planet!
• Friendly people with rich and colorful culture, with many local and international festivals and cerebrations all year round.

Yeah, it was just a thought. And soon I found my mind playing tricky pranky games of endless questioning with me. I sought an escape, but none was in sight. What could I do but yield?

So out I set to seek answers. And before long, I had all the pieces I needed: off-the-subversion open source software, low-cost video and audio recording devices, cheap hosting, vibrant online communities, and a whole lot’a fresh and untapped talent I discovered in my hunt.

All was left was for someone to bring the pieces together. Thus weblogsAFRICA was born, at least in my mind.

And step after, we’re pretty close to the vision. We’d like to share with the world the passion and the stories of the heroic young women and men who are braving the odds and conquering new frontiers to create wealth for their countries and the continent at large.

And how are we getting on? We’re pretty close to launching, but we’re not there yet. You can follow our updates via SMS, IM or on the web @ http://twitter.com/weblogsAFRICA. We’ve also got a dedicated Facebook group, and I encourage all readers to join and invite your friends to do the same.
