Love your video! I was born in Guatemala, but spent the vast majority of my life in Canada and now I am considering retiring there, so this is very enlightening and educational. Thank you.

[@sergiosala]

Thanks Erick. Go for it!

[@fredo226]

Coming from a Guatemalan, no we don't sit in circles and play drums at night. I hope that those "ex-pats" don't distort anyone's views on who we are as people. That's just white folks being white folks. Love Guatemala and it's history is riddled with them messing it up for the natives so I just hope they respect already established peoples. Liked the video, I'm just weary because our past. Bless

Truth!

[@gsd8225]

Racist.

[@patrickglennon6834]

that's racism pal

[@fredo226]

@@patrickglennon6834 it's racist to destroy an entire democratic system because you "thought" there were communists in a new government, nice try colonizar 👎🏾

[@patrickglennon6834]

@@fredo226 I am familiar with Washington interference in guatemala. arbenez 1954 e.c.t. but blaming all white folks is a broad brush, I visit every year and hang at the lake. Irish born so I know a 5hing or two about being Colonized. peace.

Fantastic video !

Excelentes vistas y con mejor compañía, además de un café de los mejores del mundo, son una fuente de inspiración para cumplir con el trabajo y seguir en el camino como nómada digital, ya que pase esta pandemia. Muchas gracias por compartir. Un abrazo afectuoso. Saludos desde la CDMX.

[@sergiosala]

Gracias Juan! Creo que estos videos ayudan a olvidarse un poco de la pandemia jaja

9:04 gorgeous views!!

[@sergiosala]

thanks simon!

[@SpeedyRazz]

Amazing! What would the say the vibe is like during COVID? Thinking of paying a visit in December :)

[@sergiosala]

Guatemala is getting better, and as its less crowded than before, I think you will be fine. Enjoy!

[@emilybrandenburg5983]

Considering moving to Antigua in February 2022 - would it be possible to use a portable router there? I am a web designer so reliable and secure Internet is a must for me. Great video!

[@sergiosala]

Yes you can!

cuando visitasate Guatemala, una lastima no poderte saludar por estos lugares!

[@sergiosala]

Fue en diciembre pasado!

[@juan-ksporty7348]

I miss the afternoons and street foods 😢

[@sergiosala]

Me too! Guatemala is so great to eat outdoors

[@michaelmccann292]

Anyone here after that commune in San Marcos La Laguna blew up on Twitter? People on Twitter are calling it a cult LMAO! Sergio, I'm sure you had no idea.

[@LMDinNC]

What was the name of your favorite restaurant, where you ate Jocon? 7:30

[@sergiosala]

Las Chinitas

[@imitadorherbertnavarro7524]

👍👍👍👍

[@rhondamariewright]

I love your video. It is peacefully beautiful, yet informative. But I don't understand the word salina. You said you stayed at one in Antigua, then again in Lago de Atitlan.

[@rhondamariewright]

Oh I get it now. I saw the link.

[@sergiosala]

Yes I did! Selina

[@bananapatch9118]

How would you compare costs and safety to Medellin ? Thx !

[@sergiosala]

good question! i will say Antigua is safer because is a rather small town, and the culture here is very peaceful. even tho there's pickpocketing as such, main income of the city is tourism so they try to care them much. BUT Medellin is still relatively safe, just need to be a bit more careful

[@davicog8235]

If you like crime,drugs and putas,then Medellin is for you, if looking for peace,relaxation,nature good coffee & gastronomy don't think twice and head to Antigua.

[@allentula2771]

I'm wanting to move to Guatemala this year. not to live in the city tho. I want to live semi off grid :)

[@sergiosala]

Guatemala has lots of off grid places to enjoy!

[@fatumeternal49]

Good desition dude!.

[@bananapatch9118]

We are retiring soon. Should we retire in Antigua or Lake Atitlan ? Thx !

[@patrickglennon6834]

The lake is more affordable

[@Simon-xi8tb]

What kind of IT work do you do?

[@sergiosala]

Web design, now KZbin full time

[@Hitmansassistant]

What was the protest about at 7:09

[@sergiosala]

It was something about giving more options to people with disabilities.

[@Hitmansassistant]

@@sergiosala a worthy cause 👍

[@gustavocabanas61]

IT WAS NOT A PROTEST...IT WAS A PARADE.

[@globomanni8407]

03:40 The streetfood is just cheap in taste ??? Do you think so? In generela i had better streetfood than the one in restaurants

[@sergiosala]

I just said it was cheap but it still very good

[@globomanni8407]

@@sergiosala Thank you for your answer. Now it sounds totally different.

[@thenarrowwaydisciples]

I think you work for Selena and do 'soft marketing' for them and lie that you are not sponsored when they pay you and practically all your videos you end up staying at Selina and giving them promotion and even have coupon codes so they know how much business you are driving to them, why do you have to lie? just tell the truth, you are paid to do marketing for Selena
