Traveling to Guyana

Guyana Flag

 Guyana is located in the southeastern part of South America. It is known to be a sovereign nation and has a population of about 789,200 people. Its capital is Georgetown, Guyana. Guyana was named the world's best ecotourism destination in May 2019. Thanks to their conservation and preservation of their wildlife and nature, they are able to bring tourists from around the world. 

When travelling to Guyana, there are many requirements one needs to meet before travelling. First, one must need a valid passport, vaccination certificate for yellow fever, and a visa to those who are required to have one. If one is from the U.S.A. one does not need a visa to Guyana and can stay up to three months. Those who are from other countries, one will need to fill out a Visitor's Visa Application and fill out the requirements needed. Whether your a tourist from the U.S or a tourist from another country, one must provide a negative Covid-19 test, 72 hours prior to the flight. For more information, one can visit the Guyana Embassy website. Once you have that figured out, one can find flights to Guyana. If in the U.S, airlines that fly to Guyana are American Airlines, JetBlue, and Caribbean Airlines. For instance, if you plan a trip for Spring break, one can buys a round-trip ticket from March 15,2021 to April 6, 2021 the total cost will be around $582.45. Then, one would have to find a place to stay. One can find hotels, guest-houses, or even eco-cabins to stay in. I great guest-house in Guyana is called Ms. Holder's Comfort Villa. It is located in Georgetown, Guyana and it is 33 minutes from the airport. For a total of 22 days in the Villa, the total cost is $941 which includes breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and everything else you need to stay comfortable and safe. The most important information one needs to know is the currency exchange from the U.S dollar to the Guyanese dollar if traveling from the U.S. For one dollar in the U.S, it is $209.38 Guyanese dollars. 

Kaieteur Falls
One you have flights and hotels set, it's now time to look for places to visit and activities to do in Guyana. One can visit the Kaieteur Falls at the Kaieteur National Park. There one could go on hikes and visit one of the world's largest waterfall that has about 30,000 gallons of water coming down. Imagine all the amazing photos one could take in front of the waterfall. Another place one can visit is the capital, Georgetown. In Georgetown, one can visit the Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology and see the collective arts of the ancient culture of the Indigenous people. Also, one can get a taste of the Guyana by visiting the Stabroek Market. Here one could buy fresh fruits and vegetables. There are so many places to visit, I just don't know where to start.

Overall, planning a trip isn't easy. One has to calculate how much they're going to spend on hotels, tickets, food, car rentals, and so much more. In this case, the total cost of the hotel and plane ticket is $1,523.45 in dollars. Aside from how much money I would need for the 22 days I would stay there, I would say I would need about $2,000 in U.S dollar which would be $471,876.20 Guyanese dollars. I hope it's enough if not more. It's safe if I have more than what I need because one could never know what could happen in a foreign country.

All About Me

                   My name is Nalleli Niz and I am 20 years old.  Currently, I am a student at Georgia Gwinnett College and I am majoring in Nursing. More specifically, I wish to become a Neonatal Nurse. So far, this is my first year but I have many more to go.  I was born and raised in Georgia. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else but I would like to travel to other countries or places in the U.S. The only country I've ever been to is Guatemala. I've been to Guatemala almost every summer to go visit my family and friends. When I'm in Guatemala, I would go explore the pyramid ruins and go on hikes near the landmarks of volcanoes. Going to Guatemala sparked my interest in traveling because imagine all the great sights one could see. One place I would really like to travel to is the Netherlands and go see the Keukenhof Boulevard, a flower parade. I just hope to travel soon when it is safe to do so.                   Adding on, I love to go on hikes. Last summer, I went o

Getting to know the Barbados

The Barbados is a member of the British Commonwealth meaning its government is based on the British parliamentary system. Its population consists of 92.4 % of African and African-European descent, 2.7% of white or British descent, and the rest consists of Indian, Asian, and other descents. African descent takes a huge role in the population due to the plantations of tobacco and sugar cane. Most Africans were brought from places like West Africa. At first, the British tried to grow tobacco in the soils of the Barbados but the quality of the tobacco was not good. Until the 1640s, they discovered sugar with the help of the Dutch. Sugarcane       The Dutch had advised the Barbados to have a sugar production due to the high demands of sugar. By doing so, this boosted their economy and this also meant the transportation of African slave
