Fish & Chips or Banku & Tilapia?
Born and bred in the East End of London and North of the River Roding, three years ago at the age of 31 when I found myself single again, decided to start a new life in Ghana. Having considered myself a typical Ghanaian my whole life, I didn't realize how "British" I actually was.
Now I am making the two cultures work for me and hoping to find true love.
