You Better Belize It!
This post is originally from February 24, 2023 Yesterday we sadly bid farewell to Guatemala. I can’t stress enough how friendly and inviting the people are. It’s such a gorgeous country with so much to see, but as one of my friend’s always says ‘people make the world beautiful’, and it can’t more true in…

Guat’s Up Tikal, Guatever Flores!
This post is originally from February 22, 2023 From Rio Dulce we were back on the road. This next journey was about 4 hours long and took us to the colourful town of Flores. We had to leave later than expected due to protests on the roads but once our driver picked us up, it…

Radiant Rio Dulce
This post is originally from February 22, 2023 On Monday we left Antigua at 3:45am as we had to travel through Guatemala City to get to our next destination. The reason we left so early was because traffic through Guatemala City is INSANE. Already at this ungodly hour it was pure chaos. It was every…

Charismatic Colonial Antigua
This post is orginally from February 21, 2023 Saturday we traveled 3 hours from picturesque Lake Atitlan to the charismatic city of Antigua.

Mayan Magic
This post was originally from February 11, 2023 Even though Playa del Carmen is absolutely beautiful, something about it rubs me the wrong way. I know that I am also a tourist but when you see thousands and thousands of other tourists all in one place it feels like I am one more person adding…

Tacos, Tourists and Trampstamps
This post was originally from February 9, 2023 And we’re off! Yesterday started bright and early when our Uber picked us up at 3am. Our flights were super easy compared to what I’m used to; especially comparing my last two trips to South Africa which takes almost 2 days of travel! A half hour flight…

Arriba Arriba!!
This post was originally from February 7, 2023 It has been far too long since my last big travel adventure like this, hasn’t it?! The last big trip was right when the world was shutting down in 2020. As you might know, so much has happened to me since then. I fell in love, got…
