Not only are Guyanese vendors resilient, they are extremely friendly and maintain their sense of humour even amidst the tiresome work of their daily hustle. I told this lovely vendor: “sell as if you selling”, show me how you would call me to shop at your stall if I was some distance away. See video for the interaction. This is the Guyana we know and love ~ #goldrush #culture #connection #marketlife #guyanesetingz🇬🇾
Kaieteur Falls is still one of the most majestic places we’ve ever been to in our homeland Guyana. All Guyanese should have the opportunity to visit our tourist sites. Have you been to Kaieteur Falls? Why or why not? Let us know in the comments! #kaieteurfallsguyana #home #naturalbeauty #guyanesetingz🇬🇾
Much like Stabroek Markert, Bourda Market is the lifeblood of Georgetown. One key difference that you will find at Bourda Market is the prevalence of Shoe Repair Stalls or Cobblers. For generations, these skilled craftsmen have helped us to extend the lifetime of our shoes and we couldn’t be more grateful for their service. We all have our favourite shoe repair man, who is yours? #goldrush #culture #shoerepair #guyanesetingz🇬🇾
For some, this is merely a roadside market, but for us this is the heart of culture, entertainment, survival, ingenuity- the place where trades are plied to feed families. This is Guyanese resilience on display and the source of our nostalgia. Stabroek Market feels like home! Just don’t zeg zeg under the clock for too long- Guyanese you know! 🤭😂 #goldrush #guyanese #culture #tradition #guyanesetingz🇬🇾
We don’t know if it’s the fact that Independence Day is coming up or just general nostalgia, but we’ve suddenly got an ache to go back home! So for the next few days, we’ll be sharing with you some memories from our trips home. Very simple but cherished moments that remind us of why we love Guyana! Are you going home for the 60th Anniversary of Independence? Let us know in the comments ~ #goldrush #diaspora #homesick #guyanesegirls #guyanesetingz🇬🇾

On May 5, Guyana observes Arrival Day, a moment to reflect on the journeys that brought diverse peoples to our shores.
Once known as Indian Arrival Day, it was renamed to acknowledge all the communities who came to Guyana under systems of indentureship throughout the 19th century.
Today is about recognition, respect, and remembrance. It’s a tribute to the resilience, contributions, and cultural legacies of every group that has helped to shape the nation we know today. Today, we can proudly say: all ah we is Guyanese 🇬🇾
