About this listen
What starts as a run through Makola Market turns into a night I’ll never forget.
In this first full episode of Carryon Confidential, I share a story from Ghana that begins in motion — weaving through market stalls, chasing an unmarked bus — and ends standing still at a rain-soaked bus station after midnight.
Along the way, there’s a spontaneous detour into the jungle at Kaakum, a moment face-to-face with a centipede I still think about, elephants moving quietly through the trees, a mudslide that changes everything, and a stranger who somehow finds me when there’s no clear way he should have.
This isn’t a guide.
It’s not a highlight reel.
It’s about what happens when plans dissolve, and who you become when you stay with yourself anyway.
