/// ABOUT US ///
Hi! We are Eric and Sarah, a couple of Canadians currently travelling around Central America. We’ve been married since 2017 but have known each other since we were only 6 years old! During our last year of university, we spent 4 months in Honduras on a semester abroad and fell in love with Latin America. Since then, we began planning and saving to do an extensive Latin America tour. 2020 delayed those plans by half a year but during this time stuck in BC, we explored a new hobby (like everyone in the pandemic) of videography and photography. We are now using our new skills to document our adventures around South and Central America. Our desire through these videos is to provide helpful and inspiring content for other travelers while also showing people around the world how beautiful Latin America truly is! Thanks for following along and please leave a comment to say hi!

    I was in Antigua from Feb 21 to the 28th. I actually had to stay another week because I tested positive for Covid at the airport. So my advice to anyone is to get tested for Covid BEFORE you go to the airport.. It's not that expensive to get tested, so I would say do it 3 days or so before your day of departure. That way if it's positive you can make arrangements a little more stress free. The problem is that you could test positive for weeks or months after you are no longer contagious. So without a negative Covid test, you would need "Documentation or Recovery" from covid. That is a letter from a Doctor that says you recovered from Covid, The timing on that is 10 days from your first Covid test...which is why I suggest testing before your scheduled day.

    1) Currency exchange! I recommend doing it with the licensed institutions. 2) Health issues! With the minor ones, (upset stomach, common cold, etc.) you can even go to a pharmacy or drug store, with major ones, we have really great doctors, but you have to choose between state run or private. Obviously private ones you have to pay and they can be expensive, but you are better off.

    We only travel with a carry on and a backpack each. I have clothes for every occasion! I can go from beach wear to night wear, summer to winter. I definitely have more clothes than Kenny because like Sarah I like to change up my outfits. but the clothes are small and only take up one side of my 😆 Kenny is like Eric just a few shorts and T-shirts. We definitely have everything we need in our luggages for our full time travel and for any climate we wish to visits. Great video!

    We have the ones we use linked in the description from Amazon, size medium (we’d guess they’re about 20L). They’re a bit cheaper quality than the ones you’ll find at an outdoors store but we’ve had no issues with them for the past year! Sea to Summit is another popular brand of higher quality, more expensive gear that also sells them :)

    Question! So you said it's better to bring your own sunscreen, bug repellent, etc. With it being a carry on, how did you get those larger bottles through security? Or are they 3oz? I'm backpacking with my little brother to Guatemala March 2023. This video is so helpful! We will be there for 6/7 days. Will the TSA 3oz.be enough? Is sunscreen that much more expensive in Guatemala? I also see you both have Ben's!!! Love the White Mountains in NH! Ticks...does Guatemala have Ticks with Lyme's disease like in Vermont/NH/Maine/ CT (New England in general)? I have so many questions 😅

I'm struggling trying to figure out Where to book hostels, For how long? How to book tours and also get hostel accommodations. My brother and I are only there from March 11th to the 17th so we need to fit in those 2 big things. I feel lost

    Hey! We booked all tours once we were already in Guatemala. We did a bit of research into the best companies and then found the offices in Antigua/Flores. But you can usually book online through IG or WhatsApp if you prefer. If you have very limited dates, you may want to book ahead but otherwise there’s usually availability 😊 Hostels in Guatemala are also super helpful at booking any tours/transportation you need! As far as hostels, we usually research most recommended on blogs and try find their IG/website to book directly. Otherwise we use HostelWorld or Booking.com. Hope that helps!
