In the Culture Report; After having so much fun last week with Americanisms, Ja'Vonne is investigating what so many hate the English language. It stems from the many words that are homophones, homonyms, and words with odd spellings. For example; bow! There are two different ways to pronounce this word and four different meanings. It must be frustrating learning the English language.

On TRAVELING CULTURATI this week: The traveling duo, Gene and Ja'Vonne Harley review travel news and topics!
In the news; the Farmers Almanac's 2021/2022 winter weather prediction, most Instagrammed Unesco heritage sites, and snagging the best holiday airfares.
On Topic; best types of trips for children from 0 - college grads and the importance of exposing them to travel and the best cities around the world to relocate to.
In the Culture Report; Ja'Vonne has some fun with sayings that are only used in the USA. So if you use them you might just have a "lost in translation" moment. They are regular English words but, it's how we use them that often confuses people in other parts of the world. For example; we use ballpark when were not referring to the baseball field or the game itself. We use it to say, you're in the vicinity of a place or thing or to say you've hit it out of the ballpark is to say you've exceeded expectations.

2019 was the Year of Return: A campaign for Ghana which commemorated the 400th Anniversary of the arrival of the first recorded enslaved Africans in Jamestown Virginia in 1619. The landmark campaign also celebrated the resilience of the African over the past 400 years and welcomed all people of African origin to return to Africa especially Ghana.
Well, this is 2021, two years after “The Year of Return” so we’re looking at Ghana and its new campaign of Beyond The Return”.
Ghana is a country with a rich culture, beautiful landscape, and many things to do and see.
In the Culture Report: “Culture is forever changing and reflecting what’s happening in the society and with its people. It can be born from the arts, music, food, and sometimes politics and strife.”
I had a wonderful chat with Tia about how her passion, born from a cathartic and what she calls a life-saving experience, turned into a thriving business.
“I am a proud Charleston native with a passion for the outdoors and marine life. My family has been crabbing and casting for fun and food for generations.
Crabbing has been therapeutic for me and gave me an outlet when I quit smoking, helping me become a healthier person in more ways than one.
Then, when a friend started a Facebook page called “Casual Crabbing with Tia” and posted photos of my adventures, people started asking to come along and flocking to the docks.
Within a few hours, those who start off as strangers end up as friends, and I love getting to share my passion with others.” Tia
