/// ABOUT US ///
Hi! We are Eric and Sarah, a couple of Canadians currently travelling around Central America. We’ve been married since 2017 but have known each other since we were only 6 years old! During our last year of university, we spent 4 months in Honduras on a semester abroad and fell in love with Latin America. Since then, we began planning and saving to do an extensive Latin America tour. 2020 delayed those plans by half a year but during this time stuck in BC, we explored a new hobby (like everyone in the pandemic) of videography and photography. We are now using our new skills to document our adventures around South and Central America. Our desire through these videos is to provide helpful and inspiring content for other travelers while also showing people around the world how beautiful Latin America truly is! Thanks for following along and please leave a comment to say hi!

Guatemala is called the land of "Eternal Spring"... which means with the sun also comes RAIN. So we're excited to have found 100% waterproof shoes that LOOK and FEEL great!! Check them out here and let us know what you think 😊crrnt.app/VESSI/pjlz_AwJ If you missed our first Guatemala Video, you can watch it here!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opClgp2OjaqXg7s&ab_channel=TheBomsAway What's your favourite Guatemalan Dish??

Oh this warms my heart so much!! My mom is from Guatemala 🇬🇹 I haven’t finished the video yet, but if you haven’t tried it look for “rellenitos”. They are sweet plantains stuffed with black beans. It’s like a dessert. May sound strange but it’s delish. Worth trying:)

[@Msanabanana1973]

Yes!!!! ✨ I also love torrejas 😋

[@YentlLega]

@@Msanabanana1973 oh yum! Agree:) those are delish too!

[@raulbarrera7894]

Plátanos fritos, yummy. Speaking of sweet, I had the sweetest pineapple in Guatemala , it was like eating honey, so good. Pupusas, Don’t mean to be controversial, but they originated in Guatemala, Salvadorans made it their national food. Love your video.

[@erickav8158]

Soy de Guatemala, te comento, las pupusas son originales de el Salvador pero a los guatemaltecos nos encantan y como en Guatemala viven muchos salvadoreños pues ellos ponen negocios de pupusas para que nosotros podamos degustarlas, nosotros también hemos aprendido a cocinarlas por eso hay guatemaltecos que también las hacen, pero la verdad es que si son originales les Salvador.

[@YentlLega]

@@erickav8158 estaba pensando lo mismo! Yo también me dije, “pero las pupusas son Salvadoreñas” 🤔 de todas maneras no somos “picky” y nos encanta compartir comida deliciosa. Mucho gusto de parte de otra chapina ❤️❤️

[@juannavas613]

Las pupusas son de El Salvador. Las baliadas son de Guatemala no de Honduras. Y los tacos son de Libano no de Mejico.

Hi guys thanks for visiting my beautiful country. I would recommend to check out the towns that surround lake atitlan and I would also recommend visiting some of the safer parts of Guatemala City such as zone 10,14,4 and also Ciudad Cayala . The city of Quetzaltenango and the western parts of Guatemala have a higher Mayan population and a lot of old colonial sites mixed with Mayan culture and colorfulness

[@EricandSarah]

Thanks for the recommendations 😄

[@tomjensen7950]

Love the video! The wife and I were in Antigua last week for 4 days. Your video just makes us want to go back again.

[@napoleonsol639]

A todo aquel que visite Guatemala le recomiendo comer tortillas con guacamol , limon y sal. Es un clasico que no falla.

[@titools4375]

Everybody is always welcome to Guatemala, and thank you guys for showing the beautiful things you can find in here, your second home if you will, but specially the food, that's a must, my mouth was watering everytime I saw you guys enjoying the food haha, it's all so good. This is actually the first video I get to watch from you two, I'll definitely check the others, you two have such a great charisma is easy to watch your videos, well you know you're always welcome and we hope that you can enjoy a little bit more than just beautiful Antigua; be well, willing to watch your next video and also the first one, I saw the link 🤟😁👍

[@OTWD_yt]

Great video guys as always 😍❤️

[@EricandSarah]

Thanks guys! 😘

[@donnahughs9749]

I recently came across your videos and am really enjoying them. The two of you are so good-natured and good-humored and open to new experiences that you make good "traveling companions," so to speak.And it's always enjoyable to learn more about food!

[@JuanjoChaparro]

Vine por los comentarios en español 🤭🤭 sin embargo no hay necesidad de traductor, se ve que la pasan bien 🤗🤗 bienvenidos a 🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹

[@uabforfindingthisbutalr6464]

shukos and hilachas are my favorite guatemalan food because they are more simple, although i live in the states and idk how they prepare them over there

[@tickytill]

Aawwww! The lady from the elotes asados 🥰 before covid I used to buy elotes from her all the time! I love elotes asados and it's nice to see she is doing well.

[@resetrequest]

I just had to say. I think most people have no idea just how amazing food is in Latin America. Everything is cooked - on the spot after you order it. Except for street food but sometimes yes. No fast food. Healthy. Abundant. Inexpensive. Ecuador has a exclusive non GMO policy into the country. It's so unlike Canada or America. Once you eat there, it really is hard to deal with or go back to the norm outside of L America. You look at "regular" food and it's like ehhh. You gotta wonder, Why can't we eat like this outside of L America? You gotta go to Whole Foods or Sprouts or some health food place and pay a lot just to get the same. The food there is sooo good. It definitely makes it worth going. And what's cool is it almost puts "fun" in the foodie adventure. I like these videos of you guys sharing what your getting of : What it's like to get a day of food in Guatemala. Nothing too over the top. Just a nice day of so many choices. Maybe not the funnest videos to shoot, but kinda cute to see how your meal day turns out and what to expect if you go there. I'm like you guys. I just "go with it" and try stuff out or come back to a place I've seen as I venture out. Yeah. I could eat that stuff forever. American food is so overrated. hahahahahaha.

[@resetrequest]

Way ahead but I can't wait until you guys get to Columbia. From what I can tell you guys I think are going to love it there since you like Ecuador so much and there are so many small towns, mountains and water. not so tourist commercialized. and the people are so friendly. Itchy Boots on YT has been riding through the mountains of Columbia and Ecuador. Cool to see. I'm really happy for you guys on this next excursion: enjoy each day. wonderful experience.

[@nitangringo]

Heading there in a few days , great video guys!

Your description on the plantains has me excited. I leave next month. Plantains are my absolute favorite.

The lime and salt on the elote is the most MOUTH WATERING THING IN THE WORLD! My family saves me a corn cob when they make fajitas. I will always and forever get the elote.

[@armandolarios5062]

Your Spanish is really good, when you said "elote" it sounds like a native speaker. You should taste the "Chuchitos"

[@scan5837]

Your elote needs queso! Makes it sooo... good!

The stuff on top of a pupusa is called encurtido in Honduras- idk if it’s the same there.

Well here in Guatemala we called it almost the same.we called it.Curtido.but in honduras encurtido.pretty much the same.

Nice video, nice food, nice people 😄

[@fernandocarpio2824]

Hi first time watching, nice video editing. Check out Cathedral ruins like 'Covento de Capuchinas' or at the main park at the back of the 'Cathedral' right side you can enter for ruins. Please try Jocón (green sauce chicken) and Hilachas (red sauce meat). The sauce makes such a different dish. To drink search for Horchata or Rosa de Jamaica. Antigua still show's the heritage after Spanish Colonization mixed with the native Mayan Culture. Have a great time, exploring. and Bienvenidos !

[@RetirementTravelers]

Such a great vlog guys! We just arrived in Antigua and can’t wait to go exploring! Guatemala is an amazing place. You should definitely plan on going to Lake Atitlan as well. Simply stunning. You two are awesome. Keep up the great content. John and Bev

Another great video! I love seeing the foods😋. Flan: it is a custard style dish made with eggs & milk. Beyond that it is entirely dependent on the region as to what they might add. Pipián in Mexico usually consists of 20+ spices, but usually had a base of puréed sesame seeds and/or nuts. Did it taste like that could’ve been the base for the pipián that you tried? I am curious to know.
