363 GHANA: A Bribe, Bureaucracy, and the Beautiful Buzz of Accra – Part 1

The Radio Vagabond

Join me, Palle Bo, as I land in West Africa and dive into the vibrant chaos of Ghana’s capital. In this first episode from Accra, things don’t exactly go to plan — starting with a stressful border crossing where I’m almost denied entry (and might've been asked for a bribe).

Then it’s on to SIM card struggles, hotel mix-ups, and an unexpected conversation about Danish football in a local Uber. I’m also reunited with my globetrotting travel buddy Cynthia, as we kick off our journey through Ghana, Togo, Benin, and São Tomé.

Plus, I reveal what happened when my Yellow Fever vaccine book nearly grounded me — and what to expect next as our Accra adventures continue.

Key takeaways: – How not having your name in your vaccine book can cause major problems

- Getting a SIM card in Ghana vs. using eSIM with GigSky

- Why Accra is both chaotic and full of charm

- Ghana facts: language, religion, size, and more

- The story of Cynthia Globe and our travels

- Upcoming: fantasy coffins, karaoke surprises, and deeper looks at Ghanaian society
