Hello everyone,
Did you make any mistakes when you first moved to Guatemala? What were they?
How did you address your mistakes? Did you learn anything from them?
With hindsight, what would you do differently?
Are there any tips you could give future expats in Guatemala to help them avoid these kinds of mistakes?
We look forward to hearing from you!
