Tribe Travellers

Cultural Acclimation in Ghana - Tim Swain


Listen Later

Tim Swain was a veteran visitor to Ghana, but after 13 years of visits was still not prepared for life there. Tim keeps it real by sharing the adjustments he and his family have had to make, the daily frustrations, the rewarding aspects of life in Ghana that drew him there in the first place, and his personal conclusions on Ghanaian culture and society and his relation to that society as a Western outsider.
