africa travel blog:wondeful trip to west africa

I left Boston in the evening via American Airlines to Paris. The food was not that great but just be happy to get to Paris safely. After waiting for few hours, I boarded an air France to Africa. The food was great and the service exceptional.After five hours, we landed in Africa. It was exciting but different. The airport was very small and not a lot of planes. The weather was not that great but it was fine. I passed through customs...I have to show a yellow fever card ...hum..lol. Before I left to Africa, I went to see a doctor in order to get health advice. She covered everything including where I should sleep and what to wear because of potential disease from mosquitoes.I was terrified first but not too concerned after all. Anyway, I checkout my bags through customs and gave tips to airport workers for their helps as well as to less unfortunate including some disabled kids who were begging outside of the gates. It is sad and be happy of what you have. Life is hard. African people are struggling with money.They have a lot financial problems. There are not a lot of jobs.There are a lot investment needs in Africa. our goal as an investor seeking to achieve financial freedom is not to love the investment. But to choose only investments that can deliver financial freedom. You must detach your emotion from investing if you will ever achieve success. If you are healthy, you can earn wealth, but if you are wealthy and get struck by a deadly or chronic disease because you neglected your health, your wealth may bring you little joy. In today’s world of increasing pollution and global warming, people are becoming increasingly vulnerable to diseases, so keeping your health to support your wealth should be at the top of your annual bucket list. Managing money is important because cash helps to solve many problems and open up opportunities for you. If you earn, it is guaranteed you have bills as well. Then you have to invest while trying to beat inflation; that is a lot to do.
