Jay Cameron spent 45 years believing what he was told about Africa. Then he pulled up Google Earth one night, looked down at Accra, and saw swimming pools and luxury homes. That single moment ended one story and started a whole new business. Today Jay has been to 56 countries, holds three passports, and has taken almost 3,000 people around the world.
