Within two days of arriving in Ghana, I had blown my budget. In fact, when I realistically totaled my expenses, I’d gone three times over my already over-budget budget. That’s okay. I don’t mind a challenge. And I don’t much mind public humiliation either.
So. My goal for this Ghana trip is to make $5,000 in the first two months (March, April). Not too high a goal, but considering I’m in Ghana, where there’s limited connectivity, a learning curve, language problems, and little interest in the issues I want to write about, I know it’ll be a challenge. Plus, I’m really cutting back on my workaholism, and trying to have a good time. So if it comes to choosing between pleasure and making money, I’m going to have to choose pleasure this time.
So far I’ve managed to make about $885. I have $4,115 to go. Can I do it? We’ll see.
