Email MeGhana: Exploring your roots
Ghana
My trip to Ghana: was a very powerful and transformative experience. As someone from the African diaspora, placing my feet on the very soil of my ancestors was like reuniting with a long-lost love. There is something truly romantic and aromatic in the air. Maybe it was the Jollof rice or the stewed meat lol. Whatever it is, it’s intoxicating.
If you want to get a well-rounded experience, then these are some of the must-see places:
Accra, the Capital:Accra offers a vibrant mix of tradition and modernity. Visit Independence Arch, Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum, and Makola Market.Try local dishes like jollof rice, banku, and waakye. Engage with friendly Ghanaians and learn about their daily lives.
Historical Sites:Explore the Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle, both significant slave trade relics. These haunting structures serve as powerful reminders of the past, allowing you to reflect on your ancestors’ experiences.Take guided tours to learn about the transatlantic slave trade, the Middle Passage, and the resilience of those who survived.
Kumasi and Ashanti Culture: Head to Kumasi, the heart of Ashanti culture. Explore the Manhyia Palace Museum and the Kejetia Market. Attend traditional ceremonies, witness kente weaving, and appreciate the rich oral history passed down through generations.
Nature and Beaches:Kakum National Park offers a canopy walkway through lush rainforest. Don’t miss it! Relax on the beaches of Busua, Kokrobite, or Ada Foah. Enjoy the warm waters of the Gulf of Guinea.
Community Engagement:Connect with local organizations and initiatives. Volunteer, support education, or participate in community projects.Attend cultural festivals, drumming circles, and storytelling sessions. Engage with elders and learn from their wisdom.
Remember, your journey isn’t just physical; it’s a soulful return to your roots. Ghana awaits with open arms, ready to embrace you as family

Reviewed By Carlos - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to Granada ~ Nicaragua ~ Central America
Mrs. Jorge has planned several trips for myself and my family. I enjoy working with her. She is patient, always available and pays attention to the smallest of details. She planned a trip for us to Nicaragua, we were visiting two cities (Granada and San Juan del Sur). There was a private chauffer waiting for us at the airport and he took us directly to Granada. Our hotel was beautiful and in the heart of the city. All of our tours were planned in advance and she surprised me with a collection of Nicaragua's best cigars. Granada was a quaint town with an abundance of things to do. The entire trip was stress free because all of the details were planned to a T. Thank you Mrs. Jorge for making our trip unforgettable.

Hawaiian vacation that I will cherish for life
Reviewed By D. McCallister - Bakersfield, CA | Traveled to Honolulu, Oahu ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Laveda planned a trip for myself and some of my friends to Honolulu. We were all over a certain age and she made sure that all of our needs were attended to . One of my friends has Cancer and this was a bucket list trip for her. I cannot thank Laveda enough for sorting out the small details for us ( wheelchair assistance throughout the trip, driver with an passenger minivan, airport pickup and drop off plus a handicapped accessible Airbnb in the heart of Waikiki). There were so many activities that we were able to do because of all of the thoughtful planning from Laveda. I am truly grateful and so are all of my friends!

Exceptional travel experience with Mrs. Laveda
Reviewed By Arleshia - Atlanta GA | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Five stars aren't nearly enough to express the phenomenal experience Laveda provided as our travel agent. Laveda organized a group trip for us to Cancun, and it was hands-down the best trip I've ever been on, thanks to her meticulous planning and attention to detail.
From the start, Laveda set the bar high. She arranged excellent rooms that gave us a taste of comforters in style. What made the trip more remarkable was the group adventures she curated. Every detail was carefully thought out and on point - from the thrilling day-time activities to the cozy evening get-togethers. She carefully planned every element to offer a seamless travel experience.
Furthermore, Laveda arranged for a driver to pick us up from the airport. This detail added a touch of luxury and convenience to our experience - just what you need when setting foot in a new destination.
Another high point of our trip was the all-inclusive package Laveda arranged.
