Why I Left Philadelphia for a Village in Ghana (Expat Life Ghana: Unpacked)

Are you willing to embrace the culture shock to find your ultimate peace? In this episode of Expat Life Ghana: Unpacked, I sit down with Karyn, who traded the fast-paced hostility of Philadelphia for the riverside peace of Akosombo, and eventually settled in Accra. We talk about navigating the Ghanaian patriarchy, the culture shock of village life, escaping grueling US beauty standards, and how she makes money through upcycling, YouTube, and her new social enterprise. 👇🏾 QQ: Karyn realized she needed to drop the intense American beauty standards and just embrace her natural self in Ghana.
