A woman from the US is trending after she made a daring decision to quit her job and relocate to GhanaThe woman, who has now ventured into the shea butter business, has shared her experiences visiting and shopping in GhanaNetizens who thronged the comments section of her video also shared their views on her experiences in Ghana

A young American lady known on TikTok as @rareneccesity has triggered reactions after announcing that she had quit her job and relocated to Ghana.

The young lady, who came to Ghana for the first time to attend a friend’s wedding, then decided to stay after falling in love with the country.

In a new video posted on her TikTok page, the young lady went to a Melcom Shopping Mall to buy some items.

On arrival at the mall, she was taken aback and wondered where in the US one could actually get groceries, clothes, furniture, and major appliances all in one place.

She went on to state that her experience had rubbished certain narratives and misconceptions they had been made to believe.

“The longer I am out here, the more I realize we were truly lied to. They had items we could not get readily back home.”

The young American lady, who labelled herself as an advocate for exploring the world, urged her compatriots to travel outside their comfort zones and experience other cultures.

“At this point, I love sharing my experiences with you guys. It’s not about inciting any type of debate; it’s about the experience and the fact that you can live a quality life outside of the US.”

The American citizen, who has been living in Ghana for nearly three weeks, disclosed in an earlier video that she was venturing into the shea butter business after relocating.

At the time of writing this story, the video had allegedly raked in over 34,000 likes and 1,000 comments.

Reaction to the lady sharing her Ghana experience

Social media users who took to the comment section of the video shared varied views on her experience in Ghana:

LesMess commented:

“I’m looking into relocating to Africa from the United States. I need to experience something new, even if it means leaving the family behind since they are not interested in moving. Thanks for sharing your experience.”

Kim opined:

“Where is this? Because I went to Ghana and I saw nothing remotely as nice as what you showed in this video.”

Ms. Rae addded:

“I went to the Bahamas just on vacation and realized the Black experience in America is traumatic. It really is! It was nice to be seen and celebrated.”

BrowneNerdyGurl added:

“People are talking about not getting what they’re used to. But how about trying new things, or even going without? When you leave the US, you realize you never really needed to visit all those stores or buy half of the stuff you used to buy.”

Obroni in Ghana advises against relocation

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a white man living in Ghana admonished African youths against relocating abroad in search of a better life.

The Dane, in a trending video, said many young people had offered him large sums of money to help them move to Europe.

He explained that life in Europe is not as easy as it is perceived and urged Africans to invest in businesses locally instead.
