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

  • Shamans and Guinea Pigs in Ecuador

    It’s folly to spend just one week in a country as diverse as Ecuador, but what the hell! Shamans and guinea pigs, iguanas, bus parties, 300-year old haciendas, volcanic craters - I don’t get to the Galapagos, but between Otavalo, Quito and Gauyaquil, there’s plenty to keep me busy.

  • Science Fiction in Star City

    Returning to Russia, I get an exclusive glimpse into the reality of modern space travel, visiting the Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, poking my head into real life rocket shipx. From the Moscow Metro to the streets of St Petersburg, the Great Bear presents it challenges, but there is truly nowhere else on earth quite like it.

  • Sweet As the South Island

    Sweet As. It’s Kiwi slang, and I return to the South Island to find out what it means. Is it the wine, food, and dolphins in Marlborough? Or the extreme gonzo action of canyon swinging, bungy jumping and skydiving in Queenstown? From mansions to car eating parrots, join me on a road trip on the South Island, where we always aim for possums.
