Guyana, not Goiania: Destination mix-up leaves yet another traveler stranded

(CNN)It was the opportunity of a lifetime for a young Ghanaian boy -- a scholarship to study medicine in Guyana.

But his journey didn't go quite as expected.

Emmanuel Akomanyi couldn't get a direct flight to Guyana so he boarded a plane in Ghana to Guarulhos International Airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

There, he bought a ticket to his final destination in Guyana -- a South American country on the Caribbean coast bordering Surinam, Venezuela and Brazil.

But when he got off the plane, he was not in Guyana -- he was in the city of Goiania, Brazil -- almost 3,000 kilometers away from where he needed to go.
