Iain Cameron and his wife Brioni left Scotland and moved onto a boat in the Caribbean, in 2020. Besides, we both had stable jobs in Scotland: Brioni was an elementary school teacher and I worked in tech as an international technical trainer. For over two years now, living on a boat has made us stronger, more confident, and more appreciative. Iain and Brioni sailing on their boat in the Caribbean.

In recent years, its residents have increasingly felt the impacts of climate change, weathering brutal storms and flooding. Here's what life is like for the Guna people of Carti Sugtupu.
