This week on the podcast we are sharing part 1 of our adventures in Guatemala! We join you from Antigua, Guatemala which is a small, colonial town about an hour outside of Guatemala City.

We’ve been in Antigua working, eating and exploring for the last 3 weeks, and on this episode we share why we decided to come to Guatemala for a month, why we chose Antigua, and our first impressions of this beautiful little city! We also talk about what we’ve done so far, including hiking Pacaya Volcano, visiting Caoba Farms, going on a coffee tour, and eating as much as we can! Finally, we talk about what Antigua has been like from the perspective of a digital nomad, challenges we’ve had with wifi and working, and more!
