“The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.” Oprah Winfrey.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Firstly, Happy New Year or, as they say here in Latin America, “Feliz A\u00f1o Nuevo”. 2016 was another (equally) incredible and surprising year, as well as being a sad one.<\/p>\n

During the first part of the year I was fortunate enough to explore more of my favourite continent, Latin America, taking in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica (Cost A Fortune!) and Panama. I also managed to squeeze in a return visit to Colombia and my beloved coffee finca – Hacienda Venecia. All of which you can read about in my previous posts.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, in the spring of 2016, Greenvale AP presented me with another work based project, which I enjoyed immensely, enabling me to save some money for a return visit to Latin America.<\/p>\n

Sadly 2016 delivered a number of lows with the death of a work colleague and, as we all know, some celebrity legends. The events in Syria have also left a bitter taste – for all mankind.<\/p>\n

I am currently back in Guatemala, Panajachel (Pana) to be precise, where I am ‘topping up’ my Spanish vocabulary for three weeks. I am staying with a lovely host. Magda and her family were so welcoming last year that no return visit would quite be the same without their hospitality.<\/p>\n

New Years Eve was spent enjoying a traditional evening with ‘the family’ – lots of food and an incredible firework display, courtesy of Panajachel residents.<\/p>\n

Later this month I will be ‘unleashed’ onto the unsuspecting citizens of wider Guatemala to explore more of this amazing country. The people here in ‘Pana’ are incredibly friendly and I hope this remains the case throughout the journey ahead.<\/p>\n

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Here’s to a prosperous and peaceful New Year.<\/p>\n

Hasta pronto!<\/p>\n
