Cost of Moving to Ghana (How to Budget for Moving Overseas) with Special Guest Ivy Prosper

There is a lot to think about when it comes to living abroad and moving to Ghana, including the COST! In this video, we are breaking down the cost of moving to Ghana so you know how to budget for moving overseas.

We talk about paperwork, housing, shipping, and more PLUS we get help from Ivy Proper, who wrote the book ‘Your Essential Guide on Moving to Ghana’ (see it here: https://amzn.to/33dzo6S) after her move to Ghana.

Be sure to watch until the end when we tally up your total moving cost to relocate to Ghana from the USA as an individual, couple, or family of four.

Follow our black family blog channel as we relocate from Texas to Ghana in 2020. We go beyond the return and talk about what it’s like as a black family living abroad. We’ll share with you all the ins and outs of expat life with weekly check ins. Join this diaspora vlog and hear about Ghana living and moving overseas with your family by subscribing now.
