    Welcome to Guyana

    Guyana can be proud of its stunning architecture, sprawling rainforest and magnificent waterfalls, but can transgender people dress up and party with pride?

    Welcome to Trinidad & Tobago

    One nation. Two stunning islands. United by carnival, Calypso and a culture of hatred towards the local LGBT community?

    Your answer - Welcome in Trinidad & Tobago

    In 2018, Trinidad and Tobago revised a British colonial-era ‘buggery’ law that could see individuals sent to prison for up to 25 years. Change is possible.

    Welcome to Tanzania

    They say Tanzania has its own unique magic with the beautiful splendour of the Serengeti where animals run free. Is it also home to anti-gay legislation?
