What is it like to retire in Ghana?

"Life for a retiree in Ghana and its surroundings can be quite enjoyable. There is an active expat community, with many retirees from the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world. There are plenty of cultural attractions to explore, such as the National Museum of Ghana, the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, and the W.E.B. Du Bois Centre. There are also plenty of recreational activities to enjoy, such as hiking, bird watching, and fishing. For those looking for a more active nightlife, there are plenty of bars, clubs, and restaurants to explore," remarked one retiree in Ghana.
