Learning About A Country On A Drive From The Airport
It’s hard to learn about a culture before you have been there. Everyone usually is curious; what its like, is it going to be dangerous, what you should do, and what you shouldn’t.

This Kaieteur Falls picture could easily be considered one of the best pictures I have taken, not only in Guyana, but of all time. Tourism in Guyana isn’t very developed so in order to get to the falls you have to take a plane into the jungle, or bush as they say in the country. You […]
