Walking The Real Streets of Accra, Ghana (

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- Ghana. If you ask anyone about Ghana, they'll probably have good things to say. It's a great place to start if you've never traveled to Africa before. And if you do visit, Accra will be your starting point. Most people arrive here and have a taxi whisk them from tourist site to another, and I can't fault 'em for that. But I'm someone who likes to get a real feel for a place when I visit. So I decided to walk across the whole city and see what I'd find. Maybe even a wife!

Eventually you will make ur way to Liberia Sierra Leone and Angola...dont let the Hebrew drew binsky deter you into going...hes a timid little Hebrew
@@tonycondegnimustafa435 dude.....what?
@@Samual.adis.Najmani yes drew had a bad experience in that part of Africa
@@tonycondegnimustafa435 he didn't like Chad from what I remember
Ghanaians a very kind and peaceful, one thing I love about Ghana.
you are a true human being ,that may mad to some , but if all were like you we would have a better world,lead by example Tommy, i love your style thank you
Tommy, you seem relaxed in Ghana. It looks like you are happy to be back in Africa.
GHANA is a great country to visit
Come and relax on your holidays...You will love ❤️ it I believe,Traveling is part of education
You people in the West always think Africa is full only miserable and distressed people just CNN, Al Jazeera, BBC and others would always portray us to you, some even think we sleep in trees.
Ghana 🇬🇭 is my favorite country in the entire world!
glad to hear that!
Good and interesting
Blessed up
we love you too
Awww! You are always welcome
Love it! Ghana seems much more chill than the other countries you've shown like Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda. Also the weather is to my liking, I'd love to visit and stay there a few months/
it is because of WEED brother peace
The climate in east Africa is more accomodating than in west Africa. West African heat ain't no joke man.
@@babsjob8729 I love the heat. I live in the Caribbean. Cant stand a temperature lower than 20°C
I travelled to couple of West African Countries recently, Ghana and Senegal they are safe and more advanced
@@theclavers advanced in what terms?
When that child hugged you, my heart melted. I just love how pure and innocent humans are at that age.
they are trained to hug any rich white person and say "PAPPAAAAAAAAAAA" !!
And hope to get taken with them in the plane..
@@oddballsok Oh shit! that is news to me. But i can see the validately of your claim, anything can happen, espectially in those parts of the world.
@@yato6759 he’s lying to you and you are believing him? Nobody trains them to do that. It was genuine
@@yato6759 He's lying
@@yato6759 I am African and he is completely lying. Kids are not trained to do that.
I like how you drop some of the history of Ghana on here besides just showing food and stuff. That is super cool!
He's the American bald and bankrupt
If you need more history about ghana i gach you especially the ashanti tribe
I love the way he learns the language
This reminds me of jamaica alot, the people the view, everything, the way they chat with you, its like your'e in jamaica
A lot of Jamaicans are originally from Ghana akan pppl especially Ashanti ppl and Nigeria the way Ghanaians love Jamaicans u have no idea there is a Jamaican community in ghana as well and they also say it’s just like Jamaica
@@julianaansah6367 yea i now live in germany, and this is how i get to meet alot if international people and i meet ghanians and nigerians and i swear they act like us jamaicans. I feel like ghanians are the calmer jamaicans and nigerians are the more louder jamaicans
Brooklyn Tommy! Here in NY, my family knows two families from Ghana we consider to be a part of our family. We've helped a daughter through college, and the fathers were two of the dozen people who were at my father's burial during Covid on a cold Winter's day. The most remarkable people I've ever known. I love that you're in their home city!
That's so sweet of u.i love to see or hear some good things
Do gooders
Kenya Kenya Kenya.. ...... come back
We ghanains open up to other people
I can feel the vibe..Peaceful Ghana with nice people..love from 🇹🇿💪🏾
Tanzania is the most peaceful and beautiful country in East Africa. 🇹🇿 ❤ 💙
@@Kanjeee911 Oh yes…❤️🇹🇿👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
We gach you in ghana
@@berthatz I'm visiting Tanzania for a month in Dar es Salaam and Moshi/Arusha
So adorable how the kid came up to him hug Tommy like he is his dad
@Nee Groider 😂🤣
@Nee Groider 🌽
Maybe its a ploy
@Nee Groider you’re obsessed
Ghana is the warmest folks in the motherland, no debate. Proof in this video. Enjoy your stay, Kofi.
I travelled to couple of West African Countries recently, Ghana and Senegal they are safe and more advanced
He just said I cut you
I'd suggest that if you are touring the country, you should collaborate with influencers in the country. They would show you around properly and show you best places to try our food and sceneries to visit.
I recommend Henrietta Adjetey
Another awesome adventure. Had no idea about the Ghana empire so I learned something new today. Thanks for bringing us along and for the insights.
Different place that current Ghana, just the same name. Ghana of modern day was the Ashanti empire
Ghana looks beautiful under the sun🇰🇪
😂😂
This is quickly becoming one of my favourite travel/language channels. The effort you put into becoming one of the locals is inspiring.
I get anxious watching his videos cause I want to study all these languages but can’t find the time with work and other projects
I watched football all time and yeah Ghana is up there as fav African country love your vlogs
‘You wanna know my name first’ before getting married had me in stitches 😂
I just spent 8 beautiful months in Accra Ghana..what a amazing country!!
Blessings for your travels..
I can not wait to return in Oct
🙏🏽
I’m glad you are back in Africa. It’s where I feel in love with your work. -j
@19:05 that was such a wholesome moment when the kid started hugging you!
🥰🥰🥰
Big up from Friday Washington DC, my wife from Ghana, I went there with for 5times, I built 18 apartments renting, Ghana is such peace and safest place in the world. People are very welcoming
17:17 Germany is where I met my girlfriend who was from Ghana! She was so pretty, nice and smart. She spokre perfect English and German. She helped me met lots of people in Germany.
I been to Ghana 5 times since 2020, and going back for my birthday in October.. I always have fun!
Tommy nice video! there would be street events in "osu" this weekend.
So proud to call Ghana my home🇬🇭
Yes. Fyi I am white from the USA and my wife is from Jamaica, her ancestors are from Ghana!
You're one of the greatest travel content creators anywhere, Tommy. Thank you for another great upload and keep doing what you do
You’re showing us places even some Ghanaians like are afraid to visit even though we would love to go and experience the culture going on over there . Thanks for the good job!! This the slums mehn
Bro, thank you for your channel! Its a life saver for me!! I need this!! I am living vicariously through you!
I follow for since you been in Tanzania
You deserve more views 👍
The Ghanaian people seems very friendly I hope I can able to visit there
Yes very friendly and lovely 🌹
"Heated discussion" I love the common reaction you had to the Ga people conversing, yes, conversing. They were having a normal talk but they speak their language, also called Ga with such "vim" you would think its an argument ahahah. I spent 2 months there in April and walked the same streets you did, I'm from UK born and raised but I my ancestors goes back to Ghana, my last name being Ayité. The Ayite name is a Ga name and when I went to Jamestown, which is where the Ga tribe reside, they called me Nii Ayite (King Ayite). I was a oboroni king in Jamestown. Best 2 months of my life.
That was my first time travelling like that, as in more than a couple of weeks. I just wanna say the way you conduct yourself as a solo party in these areas is really inspiring. For the first couple weeks in Ghana it was taxi-place-taxi. But u have shown me that with some experiences you can be more confident walking around and getting a real experience, when I go back or go somewhere else I'll be more like you man I'm taking tips for real.
After taxis it started being tro-tros. Never had the balls to ride the motorcycle tho ahah. Thank you for this vid it meant alot.
I love your Country's traditional. I travelled to couple of West African Countries recently, Ghana and Senegal they are safe and more advanced
@@theclavers interstingly my other side of family lives in Dakar
@@elijahayite2297 Yes, the two Countries has couple of similarities. Stay with we at #TheClavers
TH-cam hasn't been giving me any notifications and haven't seen your videos pop up in my recommended feed lately and I look you up and see you just posted this. And that I also need to go back and watch the ones that I've missed. Glad to see you back in Africa. Safe travels ❤️
For sure wonder why you tube not popping up Sabbaticals vloggs. He deserves much more subs ND likes. Everyone watching his vloggs PSE sub ND LIKE
Great stuff Tommy , as I sit here and watch, you're kinda giving me a virtual tour before I leave to Ghana in several weeks lol ... excited 🇬🇭!
I'm going in a few weeks too! Visit my sister who lives there with her Ghanaian husband. Can't wait!
@@Fari-100 awesome 🙏🏿🇬🇭
Interesting vlog with Historical insights, explorations and conversations with random locals. Truly, the best way of how to immerse yourself to a totally different culture rapidly and enjoy yourself to the max.
THE SPICE OF LIFE.......... nothing better than meeting people from different places around the world -- keep on Truckin, Tommy!
Ghana seems amazing!
Great to see you are making videos in Ghana. I spent a few months there, a few years ago, mostly in volta region. Visit Have Etoe, and Kpeve if you get the chance. Very welcoming people. Also there's a famous drum school in Kopeyia, if you want to learn traditional drumming.
The hugging,,,, thatmade me cry , lol must be time of the month coming lmaoooO but nah that was cute, your have a kind soul , only way a kid would come and hug you !
Man, you're such an inspiration Tommy, legendary vibes as always! It feels surreal to have watched you at home and now I'm finally also traveling and meeting really cool people, much thanks to my favorite TH-camrs such as yourself. Big up!
Nobody else gives me that same desire to just buy a plane tickets
Great to see you visit Ghana. I have a video on Ghana and it's great to see you bringing up the different ports by different Europeans.
Thanks Tommy... Nice bit of "Organized Chaos" you found there.
Ghana looks like a place I will like to visit
That little boy who hugged you.. how darn sweet!! Thank you for sharing the knowledge you have, I admire your bravery & nerves always. Many are surprised by you knowing their language, 100% it helps. I am not surprised China is building over there, soon they will take over Africa as they have Jamaica & other places, whilst many of their own people suffer extreme poverty & starvation. China's leader is all about owning & power, not his poor people, as is with most countries the ones at the top are totally out of touch with the poor.
the west have raised their ugly head t oo many timesfor people to believe or except, banish the satanist low life
That's absolutely right
China is creating the neo-colonies
Exactly like usa made
China's plan is simple for Ghana or any place with sea borders. Offer free Aid in the form of construction of a "Fishing port". Then. The Chinese fishing fleets will use the port. Fish the waters clean. Then the fish vendor woman you asked about the salted fish will have NO fish. They attempted to do the same in the Bahamas. State Department shut that down. Florida commercial fishing would have been crushed in the Straights.
Eventually the system of expansion will collapse and all infrastructure outside of defense will become locally owned
Tommy another great Documentary. You show us life as it is for that country. Stay safe Bro.
👍🏾Learning to speak the language is an excellent way to bond with locals.
Looks like it's working well for you. 💯💯
He didnt have to do that, everyone speaks english
@@moniho6907 but he wanted to make the people feel warm and it’s cool for the people to hear their own language, it helps Tommy navigate people and puts everyone at ease. The guy is a real world traveler.
My favorite parts are watching the interactions with the locals
Bless up sabbatical I appreciate the works and your perspective. Your vids are Inspiring and educational. Keep up the realness. One Love All
Omg! Sabbatical in West Africa again. Sabbatical please I'll love to tour Ghana with you 🙏🙏 it will be a dream come true.
please never stop making these videos❤️🔥
I am here for the thrill, chaotic and intense vlogs from sabbatical🤭
I'm from Berlin - Germany. I can tell you a lot of reasons why they are so excited about Germany :) I like your videos and trips, keep on the good work!
Reasons like?
@@Tata-bd9nx To put it into two words: Living standard. Its much higher, as you can imagine.
@@El_Pollo_Loco I doubt that’s why she knows of Germany…likely because she has family or friend from Germany. There are Lots of Ghanaians living and born in Germany.
@@El_Pollo_Loco Lmao, they are happy with their homes, muttlet. Calm down, you're nothing special.
Don't you just love the honesty in Tommy's content.. be safe and see you in the next one...🍺🍻
I don't. He's showcasing white privilege.
@@romanaabo3664 Unless you explain how he is “showcasing white privilege” then your comment is just empty words. (And where are your videos? So easy to sneer from the sidelines….)
@@paulz6491 he thinks it's *normal* to be catered to by everyone. To be meeted with a smile, wonder, getting everyone's attention, time and cooperation. Children coming to hug him. He's not amazed by it. He takes it for granted. It shouldn't be normal, but this is white privilege, a deeply rooted marvel for white people. On top of that he doesn't pay anyone for their time or contribution to his channel which is his source of income. Kolonialism in a new jacket. Imagine an African coming to a western country trying to make videos like this. The welcoming would be very different. Parents would grab their kids if they hugged a stranger.
The video he did in Surinam was appalling, too.
Apparently you've been brainwashed too, sadly.
Great to have you back on the continent!
I am impressed with your Twi I am also American that has been to the motherland and I can say my guy I am happy you truly made my week lol 😂
Ghanaians are the sweetest and friendliest human beings on the planet. The thing is that they don't like cameras.
Yh you are right bro we dont like camera
I'm impressed, he speaks Twi really well
I grew up in Ghana and i admire the way you speak twi so easily with flair
Loved this bro 🔥 keep the work up and well done for learning some TWI before you went very impressive
My wife is from Ghana, you should visit Axim, the coastal town in western region. Very beautiful area.
I travelled to couple of West African Countries recently, Ghana and Senegal they are safe and more advanced
Yeah very beautiful place
You finally made it to Ghana 🇬🇭 . Try some Golden Tree chocolate 🍫 , Wakye, Fufu and Banku + Okra stew. Try Papaye restaurant. They have good fried rice.
Also try and visit Kumasi.
awww the people are so sweet there ! 🥺🥺 Thank you for showing us❤️
Yh is true very nice people, I can host u in my house if u visit
She was nice enough to ask your name before getting married lol! Hilarious!
What a wonderful little kid that came up and hugged you!
Funny I think that Prada sign across the front of your sunglasses would be kind of frustrating. At least they were authentic. 😜
Thanks so much for putting Ghana 🇬🇭 to the world 🌎 🙏 ❤ 💙
I wish it wasn't so damn complicated and expensive to visit multiple African countries on one trip. The $160 visa for Nigeria was enough to make me roll my eyes and choose Middle East / Asia for my next trip.
I mean middle East/Asia has cool spots
They charge Nigerians more than 160$ for visas to travel to any country in the west. So we are reciprocating the favour.
@@davidadeyemi7299 15% of Nigerians who get visas to come to the US overstay. I don't blame em, but the government don't like that.
You can visit east Africa with one visa, just $60
They are just reciprocating what US charges them. And funny thing the US doesn’t refund visa fees after rejecting you. And they reject most applicants
Woooow !!!i like the way u tried speaking the local language!! Thumbs up bro
ALWAYS a good day when I get the notification Tommy uploaded a new video!
How haven't u got a million if not 2 million subscribers Tommy 'Hmm maybe the intelligent ppl just haven't found u yet as your Vogging channel is the best at wat u do n where u go trust me bc u put a whole other spin on things n a very intelligent way especially wit all the different lingos u learn n put to us my friend.. good luck buddy n stay safe n many good wishes mate 'cheers from sydney nsw.
Another cool video. I love your videos keep up the good work.
I love this! Just made a video on my study Abroad experience in Ghana. One of the most amazing places I’ve been to! Can’t wait to go back, thanks for sharing!
Come back and I will host u
G'day Tommy. Iv'e been looking for a beautiful relaxing spot for a couple of months holiday. I'm off to my local travel agency to book immediately. Thanks mate.
Thanks, Tommy! That little kid came up to give you some love, how beautiful.❤✌🏽
I follow a guy who is traveling through the African continent, Nico ride me five, he showed several works by Chinese in Africa I don't know but I think the Chinese are trying to have influence in Africa like the USSR had in Eastern Europe.
Just checked him out.Wish he was speaking in English
I'm glad ur back, African tours are the best and interesting
Love the content please never stop with your beautiful journey ❤️
Thanks for the Schooling on Ghana Tommy. You definately D man!!!!!! Keith (In Florida)
Sabbatical one thing you have to know is that the home made Jollof tastes different from street jollof
Apparently I need a have a Ghanaian family to cook me the real deal
@@SabbaticalTommy I already invited you to my home on Instagram! U replied me once and not again! You can check it out! And when you come to Central region done deal 💯🔥
@@SabbaticalTommy I will be there in about a week your invited to rate my home cook jollof ! 🤗
@@TheCrookedTraveler have him try the giant west African snail snack too.
You speaking Twi In the heart of Ga land .. the kids won’t understand you lol .. they speak Ga .. the lady charged you too much for the chicken 🍗.. it’s not 25 ghc .. it should be 7 or 8 ghc .. much love to you 🇬🇭
Good video, thanks for sharing it 👍
Your videos help me with geoguessr! Subbed for a while now!
Great Video Tommy like always, question for you, of all the countries that you have visited, which one is your favorite place, like, to live for the rest of your life?
Visited twice....The friendliest people ever....Thanks from Italy
Tommy pls go to Jamestown on a Sunday afternoon about 4pm to see the motorbike stunt riders.They're very unique & skillful .
It’s amazing to experience these countries through you !
Africa is where you make your Best Content 🔥🔥🔥
Man u r a pure content creator,being able to open up the hidden lyf of the untouched parts of world through this u tube platform🌟
Such a cool documentary!
Man Tommy you're trucking on the sub count. 18 months ago in TZ you were at 20k subs and now ( August 27, 2022 youre at over 300k subs). All your vlogs are inspirational but Africa is the engine that draws your most viewers. The fact that youre a natural at mastering so many local African languages makes you head and shoulder above your contemporaries. To be a NY Native with such a vast language knowledge is a good look for NY peeps. I can only imagine when you drop into the francophone countries with your fluent french.. youll be right at home there too. Then again I suspect you prefer tackling new or less known languages. Never mind Tommy go where your heart takes you, but just know you're dropping gems and nuggets of knowledge and history everywhere you trod. Safe travels my fearless vlogger!!
Good to see you back in Sub-Saharan Africa, looking forward to what's to come!
Stop using that derogatory name. We are not sub of anything.
Decent climate, meh location, nice people and authentic Africa.
Ghana is probably where my ancestors where trafficked from. I really wanna visit someday.
to traffic more brother are you business man

I just love your videos Tommy 🙏 keep it up. This is good old Tommy travels in Africa content. Love the vibe 💜
I'm so glad I stumbled on your channel!
True nice one right lol
Awesome video. I got the smell of the heat and scents of the tropical country while watching.
God your videos are absolutely fascinating bro. Can’t wait to do some filming in Africa myself.
I'm a first time watcher of your videos. I love Ghana with all my heart. I'm very happy you like Ghana!
At 3:07 he wasn't worried about you walking around, my guy wanted business lol, he said "if you like this tree give me money and I'll cut it for you"
The first country I will visit when I eventually make it to Africa 🇬🇭
It is so sad and it even makes me angry (father is from Senegal) that many parts are filled with tons of trash! There could be restaurants and shops where people could work and profit from tourists bc tourists will come when it will be more clean and authorities would make more marketing for Ghana!!
Interesting look at Ghana, Tommy. You are appreciated.
