    Anyone moving to a holistic health motivated town should know what it really is: A natural health boot camp full of people into self-improvement. This does not necessarily mean that they're progressed... It means that they are making an effort to progress. There are usually a lot of crazy/nutty types in these cities. Yes, it's fun and cool and different but often obscure and intense to deal with. Certainly not boring that's for sure.

    Intentional communities (the contemporary new age movement) seem to have thrived in enclaves such as San Marcos that allow personal freedoms, but are also economically sustainable for projects to develop.

    • @Originalman144
      @Originalman144 2 года назад +1

      They are spiritual whores blowing in the wind looking for their next philosophy and feel good ritual. Reminds me of a hostel I visited in Tel Aviv. Weirdest people ever, high out of their minds. I checked out after 10 mins. One of the dangers of travelling is ending up bugged out in some tiny village living off of $5 a day.

      Many people are into much personal growth and the ways in which they do it are a bit , not only left of center, but nearly off the whole spectrum or beyond. There are a fair number of people finding their way by teaching, legitimate all the same, as well as a large number of definitely tapped-in folks of all expressions, to the etheric and the underworld alike (and lots of liminal spaces too!) And it may seem cliché, yet I must say: it's a Vortex. I loved it there; I'm a weirdo.

    Here's Part 2 in which Francesca shows much more of San Marcos: ruclips.net/video/gaFA_uV0KJ0/видео.html
    And here are my other videos with Francesca, including some old videos from Nepal: ruclips.net/video/0no8al42wTU/видео.html
    Also I wanted to address the music I used in this video of San Marcos, since I know that it's not Guatemalan. There are copyright issues with using music for RUclips videos. You can only use certain music that is copyright free. Most of the music I use in my videos comes from either the RUclips audio library (a free service included with your RUclips channel) or else from Epidemic Sound, a subscription service I pay for. They create their own unique music that can be used on RUclips. So I searched both sources for the term Guatemala and absolutely nothing came up. Instead I used generic Spanish or Latin style music. I would love to be able to use music that's more specifically local but that's just not practical, especially when it comes to smaller countries, in which case it's harder to find music from that region which can be used on RUclips.

    Hi Gabriel. I have been watching your videos since 2018. I have observed recently that the views on your videos have taken a hit , although you are not at all compromising on the content , infact you have been making videos with the same amount of zeal if not more. How are you still managing your expenses ? I hope and pray that you continue to make videos for as long as possible.

    Sorry to disappoint (if any), i prefer Gabe and his simplistic presentation of places he visits without trying too hard to impress or impose and goes about naturally and himself while the other bloggers mostly feel artificial trying to impress the viewers. While i watched this video whole, i had skipped the last collaboration after 2 mins and maybe the next one too if any happens to come by in this channel.
    While here commenting, Like to congratulate Gabe and followers, the channel is about to hit 0.5 (half) Million. It had crossed 50k in Dec 2016 while he was travelling Morocco. Good Going and thumbs up!

    Really nice video I have been to Atitlan liked it a lot some very spiritual areas. Atitlan is pretty quite polluted due to sewage in many areas bacteria toxic algae blooms check public health and diplomatic advsories carefully. Also roads traffic to get there can be quite treacherous lots of robberies and accidents. I was almost pushd off a mountain be a truck accident but survived with a totaled vehicle.

      You are right
      Guatemala is one of the most dangerous country in the world
      Apart from a few spots like lake Atitlan
      I was there in 1986 at Panajachel and boats to those little villages
      There was nothing much there at the time.....am amazed why those new agers thrive in dangerous countries like those here
      There is also a community of people like those in Tulum....Mexico

      One day I was selling my chicken salad sandwiches in front of the panaderia on Santender. An American girl ran up and snatched my 2 yr old off the sidewalk where he was playing. She ran and people ran after her. They got my baby. She was arrested, deported. Her kids had been taken from her by CPS and she went crazy. 1980.

      @@blueangel4274 if anything Guatemala is a hotspot of native culture that is DYING. Having foreigners is nice but they’re becoming the bosses and can afford it. It’s this REALLY benefiting the locals? But he does mention about stepping out of another business. I hope he gives that to the locals not other foreigners. If that’s the case he has my respect and blessing. I find it odd how they call themselves expats so easily and not immigrants. I’m still very off put by ppl “finding themselves” in poor areas that are pretty. Very disturbing
