And that is not even because I do not have the content to do it on the contrary. This has been a jam-packed year. The first half of the year was spent trying to find…leifasaur in # blurtart • 2 years ago • 4 min readExploring AI Images Part 3: Continuation of the Afrofuturistic hotels by countryBack with some AI exploration. In the last post in this series, I shared how I have been using some AI generated images as part of an email marketing campaign to hotels in my local in Ghana. This brought forth the idea of making Afrofuturist hotels for different countries in Africa inspired by culture and design themes or history in those…leifasaur modin Curators Community • 2 years ago • 6 min readLazy Days in MunichI have already covered a few of my days in Germany last year when my family went on vacation there. I have covered a graffiti party, BMW Experiences, and some walking around Munich. I think this will probably be my last post on this trip and I will get back to some current posts and some other older interesting stuff. One day my…leifasaur modin Curators Community • 2 years ago • 4 min readWhere monkeys and humans live side by sideOn our recent trip to the Volta Region, not everything went as planned and we had to stay over the weekend. We did our best to make lemonade from lemons though and took a little trip on Saturday. I wanted to show my wife and father-in-law some places I had visited about 13 years ago on another trip to Ghana when I was doing Eco-tourism…leifasaur modin Curators Community • 2 years ago • 5 min readA very exciting step in our livesFor some time now it has been our dream to get a little land in the mountains and to start our farm and homestead. We already own a little bit of land in the north of Ghana but it is only one acre and it can be very difficult to deal with the heat, culture, and politics of living in the north at times along with the logistics of picking up and…leifasaur modin Curators Community • 2 years ago • 10 min readExploring AI images Part 2: Afrofuturist HotelsAfrofuturism was really spearheaded and brought into the mainstream by the movie Black Panther. It is an interesting combination of traditional Africanism with a futurist facelift. The whole idea of Wakanda is a perfect example of this. There have been a number of African artists who have been working in this realm long before Black Panther…leifasaur modin Curators Community • 2 years ago • 4 min readWalking Around MunichToday we are back in Germany to continue our series from last summer's vacation to Europe. Today we are going to take a walk around Munich to see some of the highlights. Keep seated for some pictures and youtube shorts.

I don't usually vote for all the AI generated…leifasaur modin Curators Community • 2 years ago • 7 min readI have been slacking on Blurt againWhy is that? There are a couple reasons. Here in Ghana, we are having a bit of a power crisis and that means we do not have electricity for the greater part of the working day, up to 3 to 4 days a week. It sometimes even goes off 2 or 3 times a day and at night. This makes working and freelancing very difficult and unfortunately blurt drops…leifasaur in # travelandeveryday • 2 years ago • 3 min readFirst Day Back In MunichTechnically not our first day in Munich because we flew into Munich a few weeks earlier in our trip but left on a train the very next day. This is a recount of the first full day of our 10-day visit to Munich. Dzigbori's sister was kind enough to host us. She is also a professional cook so there were a lot of good eats throughout our trip.…leifasaur modin Curators Community • 2 years ago • 8 min readThe BMW Experience Munich, GermanyUp until the time we reached Munich we had a very busy vacation. When we got to Munich though we let ourselves slow down a little as we had 10 days to spend there staying with my wife's Sister's family. We had a few days of family time and some light site seeing which I will definitely cover soon. But I was at least still in a new place and…leifasaur in Travel and everyday • 2 years ago • 3 min readCrossing the Alps by TrainBefore last summer the last time I had seen the Alps was in 2000 when I was just 16 and living in Sweden. I was skiing for a club there and we went to Solden, Austria for 10 days of training on a glacier in October. That was an amazing trip and I longed to see those mountains again. Last summer I got my chance and my wife even went to see…leifasaur in Photography Lovers • 2 years ago • 9 min readSunny Days in AmalfiIt looks like I have already covered the major destinations we hit while in Italy last summer. Since we were with family and young kids there were some days that were not filled with much at all. Some down time was very necessary. We spent the whole second part of our trip in Amalfi staying in a small town Sant Agata on the mountain above…leifasaur modin Curators Community • 2 years ago • 3 min readSome Home Made PizzaI knew Sunday I would be feeling for some Pizza so I got started on Saturday with the Dough. I made a Neopolitan-style pizza but I think my Italian friends on here and in the real world would beat me if I called it a Neopolitan pizza. To make a real Neopolitan pizza you have to follow all the rules, there is a standard to it held down by an…leifasaur modin Curators Community • 2 years ago • 3 min readA Trip to my Wife's Ancestral VillageMy wife's lineage is quite confusing to many Ghanaians. She has an Ewe name Dzigbordi which means patience. But she does not speak Ewe. The Ewe people reside in the South Eastern Part of Ghana and in Togo. She has never lived in the Volta region which is primarily comprised of Ewe people. Her father is Ewe, and her mother's family migrated…leifasaur modin Curators Community • 2 years ago • 8 min readAcross the bay for a day in NapoliIs it Naples or Napoli? I just had to do a Google search to double-check. One of my best friends who used to live here in Ghana is from Napoli and he always says Napoli. Another friend from the north of Italy always calls it Naples, which sounds like nipples when he says it. Napoli and Naples are the same city in the Central Western side of…leifasaur modin Curators Community • 2 years ago • 4 min readAfrican Internet Outage and Last Week Another Photo ShootWow I am surprised that I am even able to write a post. It has been a trying couple of weeks and it only went from worse to horrible last week. Where I am in Ghana the power has been out every day for at least 8-12 hours and often during the peak hours of the day 7am to 11pm. This has made work very difficult and made posting and curating on…leifasaur in # beachlife • 2 years ago • 6 min readHoly Crapolla what a hikeContinuing with the Europe saga from over the summer today we will be taking a hike. I was looking for hikes around where we were staying at Sant Agata on the top of the mountain over Sorrento. I found one that basically took off from the doorstep of our Airbnb and went straight down to the sea. The place is called Crapolla Cove.
