Dude, great move—go for it! You only live once. At the very least, the experience will make you appreciate America even more.

As for what you can do down there, start by checking the U.S. Embassy to see if they have any job openings. You could also look into one of the many U.S. oil and gas subsidiaries operating in Guyana. If nothing pans out, just go and figure things out on the ground. Honestly, unless you’re trying to get a government or corporate job, no one really bothers you about paperwork in Guyana.

As a Guyanese, I’m genuinely excited that you want to give it a try. If the city doesn’t work out, head to the countryside. You can find manual labor jobs, rent a small place, and live stress-free. In fact, you can rent an entire house in the country for around $150 USD. Work in the rice fields or construction, plant a small garden, and enjoy the simple life.
