Quetzaltenango Travel Blogs

Well it´s with mixed emotions that the time has come after a 3 week stay to move on from Xela. Guatemala is such a great country and I really want to take some time to see some more of it before I go on to Honduras , but I will definitely miss Xela life and the friends I have made here. …

We have arrived in a brand new country, hooray!  It was nearly impossible to leave Mexico behind (Oh San Cristobal, how do I love thee?) but it was time for new places and faces.  We arrived in Xela yesterday after a fairly nerveracking border crossing (border lady to Christine: I am sorr…

I just saw one picture about it, lost somewhere in my room, and made me remember about my trip to Xela with my best friend Juan Carlos Rivera, (yeah!, his name is the same as mine), we both went with still my best friend Claudia, (who i went to europe with) and Flor de Maria, (a girl a had a crush …

Mom and Jeff arrived on Thursday in the afternoon. I took them to a benefit party to support the local weaving co-op. Friday morning I took Mom over to the weaving co-op so she could take a class with them. Jeff and I walked around town till Mom was finished. Then we went to the hot springs and…

We arrived in   Xela (pronouned Shayla...don´t ask me how that works...) to find a gorgeous town that was almost European looking in parts. You are probably not that interested to know that we had the best bread we have tasted in the past two months...come on...we have been sufferin…

The plan is to learn enough spanish in Xela, so that we can have some basic conversation. We have to sit down with the map to work on the rest of the itinerary. All we know id to travel around Central America and South America. Then NZ and OZ for a year maybe. Then travel Asia. Well, that's not …

A very beautiful travel to Guatemala, little bit of Honduras, Belize and little bit of Southern Mexico. I saw great places, enjoyed very funny activities and meeting some very nice people (You are one of them Juan Carlos!)

Welcome! This is my LIVING AROUND THE WORLD blog. I took off from Chicago on April 8, 2007 and I aspire to spend the next several years in a backpacker mode. These days I'm living in Latin America www.dorosevich.com has more details

A few days in Guatemala

I spent October 2006 through February 2007 traveling in Central America. I started in Belize and flew home from Panama. It was a fantastic trip and I look forward to returning to some favorite spots.

After a rather tiresome 5 hour journey from Guat City, we arrived back in the lovely city of Xela. We came back here to do the 6-day trek from Nebaj with Quetzaltrekkers that we had to cancel last month due to a lovely stomach parasite for both of us. This time though, Simon has caught the Man Fl…

Decided I'd finally had enough of San Pedro and headed for Xela aka Quetzaltenango.  I had to be there for a meeting at 5pm on the 18th to get organized and prepared for a trek beginning the next day.  I decided to do a hike from Nebaj to Todos Santos with Quetzal Trekers out of Xela.&nbs…

The trip doesn't start until September 2007 but I want to familiarise myself with this blog and see if I can use it whilst I'm away :)

Welcome to my Travel Blog. I will be travelling from Vancouver on the 16th of April with a short stopover in Santa Barbara then on to Guatemala on April 19th and then by land south to Argentina and flying out of Rio de Janeiro Brazil on August 27th.

I only had about a week to spend in Guatemala and I had to stay in Xela for most of it so I didn't get to see much. There's lots more I want to see when I get the chance to go back
