Hi Kristy-
I am an older Canadian who came to Guatemala a month ago. I am currently living in Antigua and going to Spanish School.
If I had language skills in spanish I would be bogeying all over the country.
Everyone I have met so far has been wonderfully courteous, generous and kind. you have youth, spanish, and a close contact in Guatemala. I envy you that.
Hesitate no longer!
Michael.
