Home sweet home: Joel Savage enjoys the sweet juicy coconut water
The axiom, “All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy” might have originally been conceived by a domestic idealist, who knows the truth. Working hard without a break can affect your health. The impact can take its toll on you.
This
is the reason I decided to visit my mother at the age of 80, in Ghana, after
five years. Seeing her grey hair, but strong and healthy, boosted my happiness.
In my daily prayers, I always ask God to give her a long life, to enjoy her fruits
of labor, and it seems He has answered my prayers.
My mother
after losing her husband at the age of 44, in 1976, without any support, took the responsibility alone to make sure that we were
fed, clothed, accommodated, and educated.
In Ghana, I
visited many places including the Cape Coast castle, in the central region of
Ghana and some villages, such as ‘Akatechiwa’ which has an intriguing story
leading to the village’s name. I will be sharing all the interesting articles
pertaining to my visit with you very soon on social media.
Apart
from my adventure and exploration, I enjoyed the fresh tropical fruits, such as
coconut, mango, sweet apple, etc. Many in foreign countries, such as Europeans
and Americans may have the experience of tasting juicy canned tropical fruits,
but nothing compares to the original fresh taste of tropical fruits taken
moments from the trees in Ghana or Africa generally.
Many Europeans and Americans yearly make a trip to Ghana to
explore its ancient castles and forts and some have settled finally in the
country, saying goodbye to Europe and America. Don’t let the foreign media deceive
you. Be part of those visiting Ghana.
The Coconut tree: I know that there are thousands of readers
interested in the non-fiction genre of books, thus; one of my goals is to share my
non-fiction books through the diversity of culture. My utterly and compelling
collections are destined to capture the reader’s attention and interest, to
learn about other people’s culture and heritage.
My books are in the categories of travel, immigration,
health, and entertainment. The personal account of the stories reflect on the
places I visited in Africa, such as Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Sierra
Leone, Togo, Benin, and Gambia. And in Europe, it’s about life in Barcelona,
Spain, Aarhus, Denmark, England, Amsterdam, Holland, Rome, Italy, and Antwerp,
Belgium.
The African stories act like a guide to European and Americans
tourists. The books will teach you how to avoid being a victim to thieves,
armed robbers and immigration crooks, that prey on nationals and foreigners,
while the Europeans stories teach Africans how to survive in Europe, without
papers and crime.
