This is so sick! My wife was born in England and raised in California, and we go to Guatemala a lot to visit family and decompress but she wants to be there for longer periods of time so it’s awesome she can take Spanish classes! Love you guys!

[@nicoleandmico]

Awesome! So glad you found this helpful 😁 There are lots of amazing spanish schools in Antigua (and throughout the country) so your wife shouldn’t have trouble finding an awesome spot 😊

Hey guys! I'm so happy to have met you, thank you again for accepting my invitation to visit Laurel! I'm glad you are enjoying Guatemala so much, this is a beautiful country with ups and downs but we guatemalans bust our backs working for a better future. You guys are amazing and so nice. Saddly there was not enought time to talk and I think I was a little shy and awkard 😅. We really hope to see you again. If you ever come back to Antigua, Laurel is your home and are more than welcome to come visit!

[@nicoleandmico]

Hi Pedro! Thank you so much for having us at Laurel and welcoming Evie so warmly. We really enjoyed our visit and we loved the food so much. We were so glad we were able to come by on one of our last days in Antigua, our visit was a great way to remember the beautiful city. We are still loving Guatemala so much and can’t wait to continue sharing it with everyone 😃 Thank you again so much for hosting us 🤗

[@amycampbell8827]

Shoutout to San Lucas! I've been there 3 times for the Friends of San Lucas mission. Has such a special place in my heart. ❤

[@PeterLoh]

I love the way this video just flows, with you explaining your expenses as you go about your day. I know you did the same for Mexico in Puerto Vallarta, but this one shows how great your storytelling and editing has become!

[@nicoleandmico]

Thanks so much Peter! Hopefully if we do more of these types of videos we’ll get better with each one 😁

Great Video! I am from Guatemala living in Edmonton (studying at the University of Alberta). It's nice to see videos about my home!

Amazing! UofA is a great school, it's so neat that you have found our videos! Mico and I both went to UofC and are feeling very lucky to be exploring your home country :)

[@soledad-y-el-mar]

hey guys! i’m currently living abroad so from time to time i find myself just looking for videos of the streets and every day life in guatemala bc i’m homesick haha, but i just wanted to say thank you for all these nice videos, i feel like with your slow travel pace you really get to know the culture and the people deeper than your normal tourist trip, you two have a very comfortable and flowing charisma that makes these videos feel very home-y and friendly so thanks you! i hope you keep enjoying your stay!

[@rodrigogarcia2758]

As a Gautemalan is amazing that you liked here!! Thanks for passing by. And btw... you are the first travelers that did not got scammed into a $25 haircut haha. Much love for GT!

[@nicoleandmico]

Haha thanks! So glad we aren't paying too much for haircuts!

Amazing! So glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos. Thanks for coming on the adventure with us!

[@hayleyj8038]

Great video! Thanks for being so transparent around costs - so helpful. Some travel KZbinrs keep that information guarded so it’s always great to find people like yourselves who are open with it. Love the channel!

[@georgethecatcabrera7505]

Hola, excellent video. I love the breakdown of all the expenses while living in Guatemala. I also love how Evie enjoys playing with her ball and going on puppy trips around different places. Saludos

[@nicoleandmico]

Thank you so much! Evie has gotten so much love from the people of Guatemala, she is a very lucky dog to be enjoying this country 😊

[@adriandelatorre8341]

Guatemala is definetly a beautiful place.

[@ultra100able]

Nice but way overpriced .

[@OlgaChávez-d2r]

I think that Guatemala 🇬🇹, is an accesible country for every budgets, because we had very cheap street food to fancy restaurants, the same with hotels. In general i think Guatemala is not a expensive country for tourists compared to another countries in Central America.

[@ArnoGonza]

Just discover your Chanel , are you calgarians? Saw one of your episodes that show travel from Canada to Guatemala. I left Guate 1990, brought me tears just to watch all the cool places . Safe travels and be safe.

[@nicoleandmico]

We are from Calgary! So glad you’re enjoying the videos 😊

[@ArnoGonza]

@ I live in Calgary , NW, area, take care guys

[@Queteimp]

Nice videos in Guate (this is how locals call it). Just some corrections: Guatemala was named in mexican Nahuatl.But the very city they PSaniard got to, was called "Cuatemal in Quiche". Cua= water springs, Temal= Pines. It means "Springs and pines" Other is that buses that were used in the US are stil Yellow coor, since it is expensive to change their color. If they are other color they, sell them as that,they werent in the US. I have been there there a couple of stores where they sell them. The Little Caesar thing. "People walking with one pizza". I dont know if you know but Little Caesars doesn't have tables to eat there. So people who hang around and decide to get one pizza what do they do? go to where? back your house to them come back and hang arround?No body walks outside in the US so there it is different here .

[@glendyorantes5535]

Great video! I recommend going to Isla Flores, Peten and Tikal too. I was there a couple of years ago and I loved it.

[@annvc2533]

Great video guys! I’ve also been to Antigua, so it’s nice to recognize some places in your videos! Can’t wait for the Lake Atitlán content :)

[@nicoleandmico]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@raulbarrera7894]

Nice video , i just came back from Antigua . 😃

[@jodibraun6383]

Thank you for mentioning the clothes you've been wearing. I usually skip through the sponsorship portions of videos, but I've been admiring Nicole's dresses the whole time I've been watching you two! Are your dresses Unbound Merino, too? Because they're lovely - so simple, pretty and comfortable looking. Love watching your videos, btw. You two are great! ❤

[@nicoleandmico]

Awe thank you! Unbound has a really nice dress I’ve been eyeing, but the dresses you’ve seen in our videos are from wool&. If you have us on IG, feel free to shoot us a message there and I can send some links if that’d be helpful :)

[@jodibraun6383]

[@DanielJenkinsP]

1. Guatemala has a similar migration status for El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua so, when you enter any of those countries you have 3 months in total in THOSE countries as a tourist. Would be fine if you could clarify that for you Canadian guys. 2. Glass carafe = pichel/jarrón de vidrio 3. Funny you call that a cabin when that is a full fledged house and because of the trees and garden, that might even be luxury.

Hi friends! Have enjoyed watching your videos and find them very informative. I was trying to find the Airbnb with the big yard for our dogs on NYE and didn’t see a link. We have a pitty that is terrified of fireworks and through this would be a nice place to get away from the noise for NYE and save our baby some stress. Could you link the Airbnb here or message me so I can see if they have availability? Thanks!!!❤

[@nicoleandmico]

Hey! For sure, here’s the link :) I hope you find a spot that works for you pup! www.airbnb.com/slink/bligZCUM

[@ericklou2013]

Yup Guate is an affordable place to live if you’re from USA or Canada. I hope it stays like that for a long time. I’m sure at one point it will occur what happened to Costa Rica.

[@nicoleandmico]

We worry about that too. Guatemala is an incredible place to visit.

[@rafandresperez]

What happened to Costa Rica? It got expensive?

[@BriAguirre8890]

If you don't mind me asking what type of dog do you have? She looks like a Portuguese Water Dog. She's beautiful

[@nicoleandmico]

Thank you! She is an Australian Labradoodle. We often have people guess she is a Portuguese Water dog though, she definitely looks similar.

[@Brent-ox8lk]

Really well made vid! I would say though that your spending would probably be pretty high to be considered "budget" travel by most people in Central America. It's all relative I suppose.

[@nicoleandmico]

Thank you so much! I agree that we're probably on the higher end of "budget" travel. I think it would be pretty easy to cut the cost down without a dog and car, and of course there's some fat to be cut out of the food/groceries budget if someone needed. Guatemala seems like a great place for all travel budgets 😊

Guatemala has became very expensive, $2500 ya very expensive, considering for locals when average income is $800, absolutely my country is beautiful but harder every day to enjoy it in budget friendly.

[@lostovarochoa1184]

How did you found that cabin in Sacatepequez? Looks so nice

[@nicoleandmico]

We found it through airbnb :)

[@FayRotz]

Hi guys the house you’re staying at is very nice. I love nature, but $30 a night is too expensive a day.

[@RigoStar]

How is 30$ a night expensive in 2024? Anything under 60$ is a fair price.

[@nncadi1]

Actually it’s not. A full house AND a full yard. What should they pay???

[@FayRotz]

@@RigoStar I don’t think so!

[@FayRotz]

@@nncadi1 you don’t pay $900 in Guatemala they should pay no more then $400 for the entire month! Q3000 is more than enough.

[@FayRotz]

@@nncadi1 No more then $400 for the entire month. Q3000 that’s a lot of money they paid.

I'm sorry but I thought south america would be cheap like southeast Asia. But the price are just a much as certain part of USA. The gas there is 3.60 ?. That is how much it is in Louisiana on average sometime lower. That crazy.

[@miguelklee4888]

Lo siento pero ellos están hablando de Guatemala, país de centro américa , nunca de sudamérica, te recomiendo ver un mapa mundi 😊

[@DavidCano-tc3kh]

This is a big misconception of many people from Canada or the U.S. Guatemala is in central america which belongs to the North American continent. Sourh America starts below Panama. So from Colombia down to Argentina , you can call THAT South America.

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

[@EmilyEvelyn-90]

I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second daughter. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks...
