May 16-21 6 Day Trip
I know some of you are definitely in need of a vacation, I definitely do, so I’m planning this cute girls trip in Guatemala.
I was in Mexico in November and I have a few more countries to go before I cross Central America off my list. I’ll also see a bit of South America and the Caribbean. But the 1st stop is GUATEMALA! So if anyone would like to join me for the first few days here that would be great. Guatemala is gorgeous, safe and extremely cheap (shoutout conversion rates)
