Finish the Sentence: Guatemala

« Return to Finish the Sentence    « Return to Guatemala

As usual, I’m running through a country when I should be taking a long, relaxed stroll. Ah, such is the life of an itinerary. It was only a week (but what a week it was) and here’s who I met along the way, from Xela to Anitgua.



Sabrina (GER)
I am inspired by: The friendly people and nature of Guatemala
I regret: That there's no system for garbage in this country.
Today I am grateful for: Going to a gym to exercise, it's the first time I could since I broke my leg climbing the volcano!

Silke (GER)
I am inspired by: Nature, and people that want to help
I regret: There are so many poor people, and so few rich people.
Today I am grateful for: The chance to know another country and people

Peter (ENG)
I am inspired by: Music
I regret: Not punching bullies at school
Today I am grateful for: Being born in a country where I can do this kind of thing

  • Heat, Dust and Dirt Bikes in Egypt

    The traffic, chaos and 3000 years of bureaucracy take their toll, but I manage to Belly Dance over the Nile anyway. After clocking in at the pyramids, it’s off to the Sinai to rock the desert by ATV, dirt bike and dune buggy. Egypt has stayed much the same since my last visit 16 years ago. I haven’t.
