In my fear of puking all the way down the Essiquibo river, I took the precaution of taking a motion sickness pill as it was going to be about an hour by bus from CPCE to Parika then an hour plus on the speedboats from Parika to Bartica. But I enjoyed every second of the journey. It wasn't like it was the first time that I was on a speedboat (I u...

About a week was spent in this interior town where kids came to "summer school" and we taught random lessons to familiarize ourselves with the kids and how teaching in Guyana works. We learned it does not work.

Two weekends ago I traveled by speedboat to the interior town of Bartica.

Hey everyone!! So i've been in Guyana for almost a week now and I am loving every minute of it.

The people are extremely friendly and the landscape is absolutely gorgeous. So ...
