In 2016, Eric McNeal decided to relocate from the U.S. to Ghana West Africa where DNA tests showed his ancestors originated from. The goal was to build a self-sufficient, off-grid home there. He purchased 5 acres in the mountains and had an earth bag home built. 

After selling the home online, Eric began receiving calls from all around the world from people interested in building a similar home in Ghana and this was the birth of Migrating Culture Crossing.
