In Episode 3 you'll meet Erin and join as we discuss a girls trip we just took in Feb 2023 with our friend Beth to Guatemala. We take a domestic flight up to Flores to explore the Mayan ruins at Tikal and enjoy the laid back atmosphere on the island of Flores among Lake Peten Itza. Then we travel to Lake Atitlan to spend a few nights in San Pedro, enjoying the backpacker atmosphere and exploring some other towns on the lake- San Juan, San Marcos and Panajachel. Finally we end our trip in the colonial city of Antigua, a place of vibrantly colored buildings and markets, delicious food and a stunning backdrop of volcanoes.

We are excited to share about our experience and I look forward to hearing from those who listen! You can find me on Instagram at @andyaboutandabroad where I'll share photos and videos from this trip. I'd love for you to reach out or to leave a review wherever you listen :)

*Since a few people asked- I stayed at Los Amigos Hostel in Flores and booked my tour through them. Messaging me on the Instagram is the best way to reach me!!

Episode 2 takes us back in time to a New Year's trip Jon and I took at the end of 2021. We started off with a couple nights stay at an eco lodge in El Yunque National Forest, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the rainforest. Then we head down to La Parguera for swimming in a bioluminescent bay and snorkeling on the coral reefs. We also check out mangroves, beaches and the Cabo Roja salt flats nearby. Finally we spent our last days in Old San Juan wandering the colorful, colonial city and ringing in the new year.
