Making me feel adventurous! I'm guessing flights from the US make this a pretty economical trip (but steep from the UK ... but looking at accom prices nearer to home this looks really doable anyhow!).
I'll keep reading. When my kids are not in the middle of school exams etc I might just pick up my mobile practice and go work from here for a while!


Nice, gentle approach all round. Very readable. Nice attitude to locals and other travellers. Colourful. Enticing. Nice job. Like the structure of your posts. Not too wordy. (I'm that kind of klick-away reader bloggers dread and you have me interested fast enough to keep me reading).
Instinct tells me you're going to do very well here. Subject is also a popular one.I really like your posts @world-travel-pro. You're giving everyone a shot at it, with your reports on retirement options too. 😄

The market looks amazing, so colorful

spanish is what I need to work on more, mine is very rudimentary

you probably don't have to spend too much time convincing me to live in Phuket or Penang or Singapore.

I went one year for New Years Eve and it was awesome. Beautiful with great places to stay. At the time there were some safety concerns for people hiking around the lake though.

I love how colorful the food on the market looks.
And atm I could totally go for 1 or 6 for those tacos.

That tuk tuk reminds me of some pictures I've seen of buses in Haiti. Great report! Did you find it safe? I heard Guatemala is basically a hidden gem!

Just resteemed it. It's the first post I do this for!

Thank you for the kind words!! So, I posted an article about a place called Ksamil in Albania https://steemit.com/travel/@borderedge/places-you-should-visit-part-1-ksamil-albania

I can guarantee you your viewers will like it because I just discovered one of my followers posting an article about Ksamil using Google Pictures, which I do not find to be a mere coincidence!

I tend to write a lot in whatever language (International Baccalaureate taught me this) so I see what you're meaning!!

wow great photos and post !! You should post this in : photography tag!! Upped !👍👍👍

no problem ! Loved your photos ! 👍👍👍

Great post and pictures. Would love one of those tacos about now.

Very cool! I'm following you , as you have awesome travel posts!

Thank you for such a great article on one of my favourite places on this planet, Lake Atitlan. Your photo of the Pana market portrays perfectly what a colourful and lively place it is, happy you found such a good deal on macadamia nuts there :)

Yes, I've lived in near different villages there for up to three months, the last time on the lake near La Iguana Perdida hostel below Santa Cruz. You're so right about safety. Though I travel alone and am of "a different generation" (smiley here) I've always felt really safe there, even trudging country roads.

Once again, wonderful post my friend! I think I would enjoy visiting this place for sure, the food looks very appealing to me and the lake... well, let's say I'd spend whole afternoons sitting in front of it! Thank you for sharing and looking forward to your Panama report!!! :)

Great! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. That brings back nice memories from that place . I still have the sound of clapping, chapati making hands in my ear. And my swimming in the lake with view at the volcanoes I will always remember.

Hey, it's wonderful also your vacation on Lake Atitlan

Also during our stay in Guatemala lasting 2 months we visited this lovely lake by turning it over and over.

We loved the lake and all of Guatemala.
