Author Ashlee Tuck in Ghana
I went to Ghana for my 40th birthday and had an awesome time.
  • I spent my 40th birthday in Ghana with nine of my closest friends — we spent about $35,000 total.
  • We stayed at a five-star hotel in Accra and saw sites in the Cape Coast and the Volta Region.
  • We organized the trip with a tour company. It was incredible, and I felt connected to my roots.

I've traveled to over 30 countries all over the world, so I knew I wanted to take an epic trip for my 40th birthday.
