But in spite of his doctorate degrees he feels always like living on a lonely planet...
Jojo Cobbinah, teacher, translator, author and journalist, was born in Tarkwa, Ghana. After schooling and graduating in Ghana, he made Germany his home and worked there in several fields for the good part of three decades. He now lives in Accra, Ghana, where he is a full-time author. His travel guide book of Ghana (in German language) is the most famous one, because Peter Meyer Travel Guides combine practical tips with useful information on cultures.
