I lived in Guatemala for two years. I love the country and people. You are absolutely right about the three negatives. 100%. I subscribed! Thanks for the video. You're great!
My idea was go to Morocco next yea r to my vacations. But I fell in love with Guatemala when I saw your first photo from there. Pretty excited to go to Guatemala in 2024!
What a wonderful video. I am going to Guatemala next month in January, so helpful. I dont usually subscribe to youtube channel. But your warmth and charisma made me subscribe. best of luck on your travels.
Amazing as always, I truly value your perspective and storytelling, your content is engaging, interesting and educational, I look forward to your videos!!
Am from Guatemala and am going there on Christmas! I haven’t been there ever since I moved to the USA now I know English and many more but I still want to visit my family so after like 11 years am going there🎉
Please do come and visit, you will love it, it is not the way she makes it seem like, I bet I can go to her city and make a video about the 100 things I didn’t like, easy.
Not that I don't agree with your point, but 6:27 happens because poor people (mostly indigenous people) can't afford stoves and cook with indoors fires. So, sadly those respiratory diseases have little to do with diesel cars. In fact saying that someone smells like firewood is a racist dog whistle.
The sunrise in Tikal totally worth it! Tourist pay more for tourist attraction because they can. Yes, you do have more money then 80% of the people in the country. Tourism help maintaining parks and ruins. So it is with appreciation that I pay the tourist price. But I agree, people in trying to survive and get a basic living, they can abuse and ask a higher price for buses or products. Always ask a local for the correct price but be aware you will probably pay a bit more. The economic situation in the country is terrible. I have been living in Guatemala for 20 years and there is a lot of things I still don’t understand. I am always amaze how youtubers can share their opinion so easily.
Please don’t generalize some peoples’ behaviors to represent those of everyone in the country, it’s EXTREMELY insulting. Having been in Antigua I’m sure you noticed some of your generalizations don’t apply. Videos and comments like these unfortunately misrepresent all of Guatemala….especially for people who are not familiar with our culture, who have not traveled there, or who have only been to one or two areas in this country. It’s one thing to say, “I noticed there was a lot of trash in “X” area(s), etc…”….it’s very unfortunate to hear and see videos as these which those who have not traveled there will take to be factual of the entire country.
I love your guatemala (honest commentary) very important to speak what you feel . With respect for culture. And I think you did a great job. I run a air bnb and when occupancy is low ,like to give traveling bloggers a great discount. The children here is definately the most special part. I have to watch your puerto rico blog next .
Excellent tips in this video. Most videos I've been watching so far seem to draw on very short touristy experiences in Guatemala rather than a two-month experience like you have.
Having lived in Guatemala for 2 years, I do agree with the 3 negative ones. I remember walking once down the road and there was a sign that said don’t throw trash “no tire busura” and there was a massive pile of trash. I also asked locals what they paid on the buses and only gave that much exactly because they try to over charge. I told a local family how much the taxi wanted me to pay and they laughed and asked if they offered a ride in a helicopter lol, I loved it and would love to go back. I was there in 1999-2001 so been a while
Hi, I was looking for a video about the reality from Guatemala. It's true you are saying. I'm a local here and always I go to a park or just trying to hike a mountain everywhere we have garbage. I always try to collect them into a bag and throw it into the trash can. And additional to that business people are destroying forest, rivers and go on doing it. I am feeling overwhelm to be honest with you , you know is my country and I'd like just make conscience with this people and resolve this issue. Weather here is more hot than other years. I think this is the main problem after all. However I really enjoyed your video, you have a new sub. 🎉❤
...Diana - you're one of the best!! I love your energy, your playfulness, and your information flows out of you so naturally - its easy, and fun!, to follow .. and of course I know: its a lot of WORK to get it all together and do the editing... you are just roundabout brilliant, girl! 💖
My wife reads and writes Kekchi/ Q'eqchi and works as an interpreter. It is not as uncommon as you made it sound. There are entire villages and towns that primarily speak this language :) It is like the second largest spoken indigenous language
You inspire me 🌱💚🧚 and your videos deliver joy, love and hope! Thanks for sharing your experiences, for educating, for living so freely, for loving so deeply :)
I am in love with you and your videos.❤ I have just discovered you and your travels. You are such a bright and beautiful personality. You light up everywhere you go with your joy and happiness. Thankyou for sharing and adding to my bucket list. Meeting you and spending some time with you is now on my list🥰. Enjoy your travels. Looking forward to our trails crossing 🫶
You are beyond cute to watch talk in your videos! 🤗☺️🫠And I love the way you share your perspective. I’m glad I found your channel. Very informative from a different angle than other channels.
Tax payers subsidize and locals support the country (security. Infrastructure) unlessVisitors spend good money there, locals get to keep your trash, sewage and later your trash talk on videos. At a net loss. Visitors should pay more.
5:28 sorry but we do, at least in the city the municipality does hire a lot of people to clean and the city is very clean. having said that i do agree with your point its very valid, i wish more people cared to put their trash away x.x
Yeah... I found the love of my life in Guatemala and now I live here. 😂 Everyone has their own opinions of course. Mine is the opposite. I feel like Guatemala is the most underrated country I've ever been to and that's after visiting 70 total!
I am planning on riding my ADV through Mexico, to Belize and then into Guatemala in November. I used to be conversational in Spanish and I am studying and hope it comes back. I am also learning French for a trip to Canada in August.
Great video Diana, I love the Architecture & the doors & windows! (Strange I know but I've worked with wood all my life!) It's really sad about the garbage but it happens all over even in places that have the education & facilities! It drives me mad 🤬🤬 Take care & stay safe x 🙏❤🇬🇧
It drives me mad as well. I’ve been following the news about ocean cleanup (mostly The Great Pacific Garbage Patch) and every time I use plastic I imagine it ending up in the ocean 😢 where else can it go? Especially in the counties where they don’t have recycling at all 😢
Yes, I carry a plastic bag when I'm out walking & try to collect as much as I can, but folk just throw it out of their cars! That really winds me up 🤬@@dianawanderlust
I'm looking into moving to Guatemala. Thanks for your take on life there, Diana. According to a 2017 study, across the globe, one million plastic bottles were sold every minute. Of those, only a small percentage were effectively recycled. It's worse now. Of course there are billions of other plastic products being tossed into the environment too. Microplastics, forever chemicals, radioactive waste, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, air pollution, etc. have created a toxic stew. And we wonder why more and more, especially young folks, are dying of cancer.
my parents are from guatemala, im from the U.S so i went in 2022 i had all kinds of experiences, i had good, bad experience in guatemala but mostly i loved it alot. i went to guatemala city, lake atatlin, antigua, mostly those 3. zone 10 los americas in guatemala city was my favorite if i can i would fly back in a heart beat but i am currently broke so hopefully i can go back soon. good video by the way !
Plastic straws are healthier than paper straws for all of our health - fact! However, there is NO excuse to litter, everyone need to be responsible. Thanks for your honest insights. Very informative.
So interesting how Guatamala looks EXACTLY like Nicaragua where I lived for 3 months in Leon and Granada. No difference at all. Not even the trash in the streets, lol.
In my opinion experience. At the 56 day mark somewhere, anywhere, one is just beginning to understand how to exist. Fact: in the first 3 months one will spend more until one figures out what to do, where to go and how to do it. Thank you for the video.
This wise traveler will absolutely love El Salvador..!!! Once she’ll set one foot in El Salvador….. she won’t want to leave El Salvador ever again..!!! It is just a magnificent land…!! It is clean clean clean…. Not a speck of garbage nowhere..! Very pristine environment all around and everywhere….!!! And the food..!! Best food in the region and cheap, affordable, delicious, plentiful and safe, clean, just heaven to taste!!!! The people, best in the region also…!! And plenty plenty plenty volcanos to see, climb up and enjoy…! There’s also plentiful rivers, lakes, and the best beaches in the whole wide world!!!! The sea is wild, good, a must to see..!! Paradise you may say…. And right on…! You want to stay forever in El Salvador…!! It is just another dimension…!!!!!!!!! Very clean place…!!!
If your thing is going to the beach yeah I guess ES has some nice places now if you want the best climate, food, culture, nature, archeology I think I'll stick with Guatemala. (and yes I've been to ES many times)
I spend a good bit of time in Guate. Pouring the cans into bags? That's because they get money to turn in the cans for recycling. The bags cost less than they get for the can. It's all economics. Living closer to zero makes these decisions much different.
@@nematk6359 it was positive wonderful and life changing. I stayed at the selina antigua about 20 days. Then i stayed at la casa rosa in livingston 10 days. In livingston my gf and i (im a black american lesbian and so was she) got our locs done by the local garifuna. I was in guatemala the entire month of oct 2022. Now, I plan to move to antigua feb 2025. I think about it every single day of my life. I lost a lot of weight, my skin cleared and my hair grew.
If you mind me asking, where did you volunteer at / through ? I am currently looking to spend a month in Antigua, Guatemala. I want to volunteer at a place that offers accommodations as well.
@@dianawanderlust I'm from Maine USA. But my daughter lived in Vietnam three years and the plastic and trash was a problem. It destroyed the natural beauty.
Guatemala has great people, food and vibe! $1 equals Q7.00 quezels. Your money doubles. Your money will go a long way as long as you don’t go to luxurious boutique hotels, restaurants. . 🎉 thanks for the tips
Recommendations. Trash is not every where and they are new laws against the use of plastic and waste clasificación(change takes time). 2, transportation is a challenge. Use Uber, or a private car is cheaper than you think. 3. It is is way cheaper than other countries I have visit in the area for foreigners as I been on there too. Make friends along the way and ask questions to compare and learn. Over all a good video
One positive is the FANTASTIC food in Antigua. Such a high concentration of great places to eat. One other negative is the stray dogs and dog poop you have to look out for.
I did like most of your comments. What I didnt like is the fact that you portray some of my people as ignorant and careless. Another thing that I didnt like is that you dont know Guatemala. Guatemala has 23 departments you bearly visited like 5 of those. So that doesnt make you knowlegeable of the country, neither to be in a position to give recomendations the way you do it. Sorry if you feel offended. We have a saying in spanish. Te trato como tu me tratas. Last but not least, yeah, there is but. Is that tireness and lasyness that you carry around when visiting places. You might need to see a doctor, he can recommend you some supplements and treatment to hype you up a little bit.
Te entiendo lo que dices y como un guatemalteco sería diferente ver este video pero yo siempre comparto las cosas que pienso yo y experimento yo personalmente. Nunca afirmo que las cosas que comparto aquí son 100% ciertas, solo son mis pensamientos
@@dianawanderlust Usted no se preocupe comadrita, exprese sus pensamientos tal cual, que nosotros tambien lo haremos. Que tanto corre la bolita de allá pa ca, que de aqui pa allá. Saludos.
Hey I'm in Guatemala now and I'm here since a month. I've not seen any plastic or garbage on the streets. It's very clean here and people always offer you reusable straws and have a surcharge for take away containers. I mean I haven't been to Guatemala city as of yet but the rest of the country is cleaner than most European countries and the lakes are crystal clear....
