Van life in Guatemala is about to begin! It's time to leave the bustle of Mexico behind and begin the Central American leg of the Pan American Highway. We'd heard horror stories about the Mexico/Guatemala borders, but we had to take our chances and deal with whatever got thrown our way. (Still can't wrap our heads around the fact our little UK van is here!)

↠ A BIT ABOUT US
We're Chesca and Ben, and with our two pups River & Scout (🐶 🐶 ) we live and travel full-time in our self converted sprinter van, Sophia. We spent the first 3 years road tripping and doing as much van life in Europe as we could, from the wild coasts of Portugal to the Syrian border in Turkey, tackling lockdowns and another DIY van re-build along the way. But, as restrictions get imposed on British travellers in Europe, we felt like a new challenge. In the summer of 2022, we shipped our tiny home on wheels to Canada to begin the Pan American Highway - taking us from Alaska to the bottom of Argentina. This is our journey, come and join us.
