Getting the Guyana Travelbug!

The more packing and organizing I do, the more excited I get! There are so many things to remember its insane. And a challenge to fit everything I think I will need for 6 months into one backpack! And to know exactly what I will need living in a country I have never set a foot in before. Today, I bought a guide book solely dedicated to Guyana, which is extremely rare, normally there are only a few pages in a general guide book on South America focused on the country.

Here are some awesome links online about Guyana in case you want to learn more about this fascinating country:


The country is famous for its biodiversity, a lot of which is still being discovered

The country contains are some of the largest animals of its kind including the jaguar, the giant river otter, the anteater and river fish which takes three grown men to hold.

It has a Savannah that looks a lot like Africa

Contains the world's largest single drop waterfall, Kaiteur Falls

Here is a tour of the renovations at Iwokrama, where I am working.

 I will give more information later!
