Roam and Thrive

Welcome to our Guatemala travel guides- everything you need to plan your perfect trip to Guatemala. 

One of the most beautiful countries in Central America, Guatemala is a small country with a lot to offer. From stunning lake and volcano scenery to ancient Mayan ruins and culture, Guatemala is a culturally rich country with many natural wonders. 

You want to begin your trip in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala’s beautiful old capital that’ll transport you back a few hundred years with its cobblestone streets, beautiful colonial architecture and exquisite cafe scene. 

From here it’s an easy ride to Lake Atitlan, Central America’s deepest lake, an expanse of blue surrounded by green volcanoes that look like they’re rising out of the lake. Village hop your way around, connecting with the indigenous communities that live here and perhaps do a yoga class or two. 

If you’re a beach person, head to the coast, to Le Paredon for surfing and some of Guatemala’s most exquisite beachside accommodation. 

In the hard-to-access north of the country get some adventure in and explore Tikal, Guatemala’s most revered Mayan Ruins and Semuc Champey, a series of slow flowing waterfalls in the middle of the jungle. 

Guatemala is also a great spot for the wellness focused traveller. Find yoga studios, a like-minded community and health-focused cafes in the wellness hot spot San Marcos de la Laguna on Lake Atitlan. The lake itself is also brimming with wellness-focused resorts and eco-friendly stays. 

To get started planning your trip to Guatemala read 17 Unforgettable Things to Do in Antigua Guatemala: A Travel Guide.

The more I read about food, diet and health online, the more confused I get. ‘Experts’ pushing diets and programs that aren’t based on any kind of scientific evidence, fad diets, opinions and then there are all the ‘scientific’ articles to get through. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have ever launched yourself into this world, researching what might be best for your health (which I’m pretty sure you have) then you might have also been left feeling confused and demotivated. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel that every 10 minutes someone’s talking about the best new way to eat and stay healthy. Of course not all of it is fiction but going through it all and even absorbing it kinda feels like a full time job. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are a few things that have helped me however when it comes to this diet and wellness overwhelm and I wanted to share them with you today. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Firstly our diet and what we eat is very personal. No one will know more about what works for you than you so don’t take on diets and programs just because other people are trying them out. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Secondly, just like the fashion industry has trends, the world of wellness and food is also beginning to see these trends. In the last 15 years so many fad diets and trends have surfaced only to be deeply buried again a few years later. These trends are just businesses that earn individuals a lot of money so be weary of them. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trust what’s worked for humans for thousands of years. Before the invention of processed foods what did people eat? Just ask your grandparents what and how they ate. It’s this type of eating that has worked for human beings for thousands of years. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If in doubt always circle back to natural, organic, fresh food that comes directly from the earth. ✨🙏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever felt overwhelmed when it comes to learning more about health and diet? What’s worked for you? 🙏🤗

Crisp winter walks in Alberobello. 

This is one of Puglia’s most visited towns, famous for its unique trullo architecture, these small dwellings go back centuries. 

I couldn’t help myself coming back in winter and exploring it all again. 

Have you heard about Alberobello? ✨

Welcome (back) to Puglia, Italy. 

So excited to be back in Puglia and making it my home base for the foreseeable future ✨ 

After visiting for the first time last year, I noticed there’s definitely something that keeps pulling me back here. I can’t wait to dive deep into some new projects here, both long and short term and take you all along with me. 

Being here in January can’t be more different compared to summer but I super impatient for more sun and to explore more.

Who has plans to visit the south of Italy in 2023?
