I am a traveler, I have backpacked through several countries and I love nature. Some years ago, I decided to leave my job in an office and start traveling and getting to know the world. Now I have returned to my country with the intention of helping my people and all those travelers who want to know Guatemala and exchange culture and good conversations.
