BLOG POST BY LISA CARMACK: WEEKEND IN WLI TODZI

-

I promise to post more soon, but until then here are some pictures from my incredible weekend in Wli Todzi. Wli Todzi is in the Volta region about 6 miles up the mountain from the Wli waterfalls.

I was here for an eco-tourism project led by my friend Ethan from UC Santa Cruz. Typically people pay 70 Ghana cedis ($35) to be guided up the mountain, eat delicious food and stay in the beautiful village.
It was absolutely unforgettable, and quite a work out getting up there!

The Walking Tour at Mole Game Reserve

“The journey is part of the experience - an expression of the seriousness of one's intent. One doesn't take the A train to Mecca.”  ―  Anthony Bourdain ,  A Cook's Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines The Early Morning Sky I woke up at 5am for an early morning meditation. I went outside and the sky was still dark, tinted with a hint of lightness. The restaurant/bar facility is set right above a massive watering hole. Off to the side is a little viewing deck with a bench. I went to sit on the bench. The tree that covered the bench was alive with bees. The sound of the bees was louder than I have ever heard before. As I tried to meditate in peace, bees flew against my body. I kind of freaked out and moved to a less glamorous spot by the pool. I enjoyed a very nice hour-long meditation. It was such a beautiful site to open my eyes and see untouched forest reserve as far as the eyes could see. As the sun rose I headed back for my room. Someone told m

On this episode of Lisa Writes Home , you will read about: Cultural adjustments, stigmas, acclimations and revelations All the pretty, pretty nature! Beach rave! (or just a regular old party on the beach) And so the journey has begun. I’ve sent out group emails, recorded more audio than I can ever synthesize into stories (though that won’t stop me from trying— Transom , where you at?), hiked through the North, braved the bustling and aromatic streets of the Madina Market, visited schools, learned the special snappy handshake (video tutorial to come), experienced my first political protest (the Supreme Court verdict on the questionable election results) and finally started classes. The road is long and it has just begun but I’m relishing in the experience, drinking in each moment and insatiably seeking out the next adventure. I can feel the gravity that this place has on me, it’s a deep aching tug on my heart that feels like meeting an old friend for the first time

Interviewer: Eugene Ohene-Tutu Ansu (EOTA) Interviewee: Akinrodoye Dare Samuel (ADS) “I love swimming. When I’m in the water, nothing else matters to me; just the strokes pulling me through the water. It is the calmest and safest place to be” - Akinrodoye Dare Samuel(Dreh) EOTA: Mr Akinrodoye, thank you for making time for this meeting and congrats on your numerous achievements as a sports personality and student leader in the University of Ghana (UG). Before we move to other matters, kindly introduce yourself.  ADS: Thank you too, Eugene for this opportunity. I am Akinrodoye Dare Samuel. I am a Nigerian. The name, Akinrodoye is a personal inspiration to me since it basically means boldness. I was admitted into UG in 2014 and joined UG sports in 2015 as a swimmer. I am a self-motivated person.
