Summary: The pros of living in Ghana include its vibrant culture, diverse landscape, and friendly people. Ghana is also known for its rich history and vibrant music and art scene. Additionally, the cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for expats. On the other hand, the infrastructure in Ghana is not as developed as in other countries, and the healthcare system is not as advanced. Additionally, the crime rate is higher than in many other countries, and the political situation is often unstable.
What are the pros and cons of living in Ghana?
Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Ghana responded:
"Expats and digital nomads in Ghana appreciate the country's warm climate, friendly people, and vibrant culture. They also enjoy the low cost of living, which allows them to stretch their budget further. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads find the infrastructure in Ghana to be lacking, with unreliable internet and electricity connections. Additionally, the language barrier can be a challenge for those who don't speak the local language," explained one expat living in Ghana.
