Been there? Done that?

 Been there? Done that?

I have never been on a safari. I know it is difficult to believe, but I haven't. I would love to do many things before I get older, and I would like to travel all around Guatemala and other countries. So far, I have taken long car trips, I have been to the beach just once in my life. I have ridden a horse twice and swum in a beautiful lake. But I haven't done many things already. I want to go mountain climbing; I want to travel to Japan, walk around Tokyo, and visit Maga stores and cafes. 

Check this video: 

What does it take to go on adventure travel? Do we need a lot of money? Do we need a lot of time? How can we plan these kinds of things? Money is essential, but we do not have to spend a lot to spend a good vacation time. I haven't gone camping, and I would love to, So I would save some money and choose one of my days off to go on a camping trip. I believe that taking only the necessary stuff will be fine and it would be a lot of fun and at a more affordable price. 

I think that traveling is essential for a good living. With the pandemic, it is tough to go out or find a place where you can be sure you will be safe, but I think that an opportunity to go out to an open area to do a barbecue is fundamental for our peace of mind and healthy body. I also believe that the people who spend those moments with you are so important. For example, I will feel comfortable traveling only with my family. Due to my sister being my best friend, I would be happy traveling with her anywhere. Beautiful trips will make our lives easier and more comfortable because we will have good memories to tell our grandchildren when we get older. That is what I want. I haven't been to many places, and I haven't done many things yet, but I will make anything possible to make my time, my budget, and get an adventure travel spirit to be able to one day do something that I will remember forever.

  1. I also like to travel and I would like to travel to other countries such as Spain, Argentina, France, etc. I have been to several places in Guatemala, such as Xela, Al Irtra de Retahuleu, and more, and I have traveled to 2 countries, the United States, when I was 1 year old, and to Honduras about 2 times. The last time I went was in 2019. When I go on a trip I like to do adventure and risk activities like riding a bike in the mountains, getting on extreme games and so on.
    Mainly I have traveled with my family with my parents and my bird brothers and I have traveled with my cousins, cousins, uncles and I like it a lot since it becomes a very fun and pleasant trip.
    I think that the benefits that travel brings you with being able to disconnect from your work, studies and problems, so you can relax and enjoy

  2. I have never traveled in my life but I have not lacked the desire

    I have not traveled anywhere outside the country but inside and I have been to very few places like Amatitlan and Antigua Guatemala

    all i do on those trips is go swimming or just relax lie down

    the only people who have traveled to those places are my parents, my brothers and many grandmothers with my uncles

    the benefits are many, including knowledge of different cultures or simply relaxing other people who need it or, for example, people who like to travel, for example if I love to travel in my country I can't imagine the others people who like to explore their countries and why not those of others, for example Spain is one of the places that I want to visit with great desire

    Lear more about other sides an they traditions

    One of my adventures was when I went to Nicaragua, unfortunately I couldn't go through it as I wanted, but I met several people and from different countries, not only from this one, some were from Honduras, others from El Salvador, they are good people, I hope to see them again.

    Another adventure was when we went to the United States with my family, we went for a walk and saw different parks, I really loved that

  4. I also like to travel, I have already traveled to other countries such as Panama, Honduras and the United States but in reality I have only traveled to Panama on vacation because when I traveled to Honduras I went to a Scout camp and when I traveled to the United States it was for a kickboxing tournament. I would like to travel to Germany, France, England, Italy etc. When I was 10 years old, I traveled to Panajachel for the first time, which was the best trip in the world. Then I traveled to Xela when I was 11 years old and it was another very good trip. I have traveled to all of Guatemala but not on vacation but for tournaments or scout camps but I have had a great time. The activities that I do the most when I travel is swimming since I love swimming, when I travel I always go to a cannopi and I really love knowing more about the place I am visiting. I think that something good about traveling is that you get out of the routine, you can clear your mind, relax and learn more about a new place, those are the best attributes of traveling.

  5. The places that I would like to travel would be Rome, Italy, Spain, and others.

    The places I have traveled to are Lima Peru, Cusco. and those from my beautiful Guatemala to Xela, Panajachel among others I really like to travel I feel that it is to go to enjoy and relax it is like entering another world. This year or the next I will travel to Ecuador, the United States and again to Lima, Peru. I love the idea because it is going to enjoy with the family I almost always travel with my parents and sometimes with my uncles and cousins ​​also grandparents and we enjoy it a lot.

    also almost every time we travel we go to know several places and be able to take photos, see their cultures among the other things knowing more departaments and countries helps us to see how they are different from us

  6. I have traveled to Honduras, El Salvador and Costa Rica. I usually travel with my grandmother, my sister and my father.
    In 2021 I traveled to Costa Rica and I really liked it. We saw some waterfalls, saw exotic animals and met new people. The good thing about traveling is that we can live new experiences and visit new parts of the world.
    I would like to travel to Europe, Spain, because I have family there and I would like to visit them.

  7. i have been to el salvador and i have been to mexico because i have family there, but i would really like to visit countries like thailand and japan,
    i usually travel with my mom,
    she has already been to these places but for work, i would like to go with her but to see the country.
    and I think that the benefits are the fact that you relax and you have a great time,
    while you do what you like, you share with your family, you know new places and you learn new things,

    I hope soon to be able to fulfill the dream of travelling and enjoy this a lot.

    I have mainly traveled with my parents, brother, uncles, cousins, and I like it a lot since it becomes a very fun and pleasant trip.
    I think that the benefits that traveling brings you is to be able to relax, not have worries, spend good time with your family.

  9. Being honest, I have traveled for a few times. I don´t remember well those travels because I was too young when I traveled.
    I have been in two places here in Guatemala (Panajachel and Chiquimula.) I´ve always wanted to go to another country, like United States or maybe Spain.
    I´ve already taken a long car trip. So far, I have ridden a horse. I still haven´t eaten new food or learned new things.
    My family have been with me. But when I grow up, I would like to travel with friends.
    The benefits of traveling are that you can learn about another culture. You can get relax. You can do something new. You can be free.

  10. I have traveled to Europe (Rome, Italy, Barcelona and Madrid) it was a very good experience. First we went to see a game of el barca against bayer. The next day we went to see the city like the baticano and the church. After a week we went to Italy, we went to see the coliseum and we went on a tour of the city. Then we went to Rome to visit the city, it is very beautiful and I also learned a little about Roman mythology. They are very beautiful places to visit and without a doubt I would go back a million times.

  11. I have traveled to various places such as Costa Rica and El Salvador with my parents, my sister and my pet.

    I would also like to travel to Colombia and Spain since I really like their traditions
    And I also really like how polite people are in Spain and I would like to know the food of Colombia because I have seen several videos of its gastronomy and the truth is that it makes me curious to try its food

    traveling helps us to relax to know new places and also to meet new people and activities

  13. Since a had 7 years old i thought that traveling is a way to forget about the problems, appreciate those little moments of joy, create new memories for remember and relive that mixed feelings. For many years my parents took my sister and me to differents hotels inside Guatemala City, Antigua Guatemala and Panajachel. But in the same point of view, I've already visited United States, specifically the state of Florida. It was amazing to explore all those places i could visit. Some interesting fact: I thought when i was little that everywhere in the United States it snowed, when i grow up i had to learn it was not as i belived. Honestly, I stayed with the desire to make a snowman.

    I've always wanted to learn english and portuguese for travel to Latin America and Spain. I feel there where many interesting places and people to see. The problem is I've started to think why not to try with others countries recently. Now i'm confused about what i really want. Another example is with who, because in the past it was only with family (Don't think wrong, i love them). But I am thinking in others options for the future.

    In last point, i'm not the kind of person who is willing to do anything. But i will try to motivate me to do some interesting things like hang gliding, see dolphins or slide from a zip line.

  15. I have traveled by car, to many places in Guatemala in a week and a half, with my family and the family of my cousin Dafne. I have been in Cobán and from there we went to Semuc Champey where we swam in the beautiful rivers, then we went to Flores, Peten, where we got on a boat to get to the viewpoint, where we toured a natural zoo. The next day we went to visit Tikal to see the beautiful Mayan structures, at sunset we returned to the cabin where we were staying and slept for a couple of hours, until it was 3 in the morning, we woke up and went back to the Park National Tikal to see the sunrise in one of the pyramids, that day, after seeing the sunrise, we took the road to Río Dulce, upon arrival we stayed in a beautiful hotel that had a pool and everything, we swam in the river we rode on motorcycles water and later we got on a boat to visit the "Castillo de San Felipe." It was a very nice experience, we spent 4 days eating snacks and all those things for lunch, since we did not have much time to do the whole tour, yes, I have many good memories of that trip. I have also gone to the beach very often, since my grandfather, my father and my uncles built a house a few kilometers from the sea, so I go very often, my grandfather also has a house in the mountains, where we go, but not very followed, I have ridden a horse only once.
    The good thing about traveling is that we can learn a lot about the history of the place we are going to, there are things that textbooks do not tell you and when traveling you learn those things that are not in the books. Traveling as a family creates beautiful memories that remain engraved in your memory.

    I would like to visit Japan, Korea and Italy with my cousins, it would be a very good experience, we would have a great time, we already do it without traveling, but I know that if one day we get to travel all together the experience would be much better than traveling alone.

  16. The truth is that I have traveled to some places in my life, like some islands called Amapala and Roatán, where I ate a very tasty ceviche and went to the beach. I've always wanted to go to Europe such as France and Italy, I haven't gone yet, but I still gone one day. Other places that I already have gone on Central American countries are Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador. I already have been to some places here in Guatemala, such as Rio Colorado, Antigua Guatemala, Quetzaltenango, San Lucas, Puerto San Jose, Xocomil and Xetulul.

    Another places in Honduras that I already have been with my family are Tegucigalpa, San Pedro, La Ceiba, Santa Lucia, Choluteca, Lake Yoyojoa, Nacome, Comayagua, Siguatepeque, Yascaran, Santa Ana, Ojojona, San Buenaventura, Jutical.

  17. I like to travel, I haven´t visited other countries, but I would like to go to a country in Europe, like England, I´ve traveled a lot here in Guatemala, I have gone to Solola, chiquimula, chimaltenango, sacatepequez, puerto san jose etc... I liked those trips because I shared with my parents, my brother and my grandparents, when I go on a trip I always like to go swimming,
    traveling is important for life because you forget your work, school, and you can relax and enjoy with your family.

  18. I´ve been in many places like Panama city(my mom spent 10 hours shopping in a mall :c) , Puerto Vallarta Mexico( OOOOh that was one of the best experiences i ever i had), Mexico Cd(pretty boring), USA(I don´t remember i was 3 lmao), Semuc Champey(Those caves were asome) and many others i don´t remember. I´ve done pretty cool stuff like Visiting Islas Perro Chico San Blas, I´ve swum with dolphins( They´re so kind :3), I´ve swum in the middle of the ocean above the rest of a drowned island. But i haven´t done things like Skidiving, Hang gliding, visiting Canadá, U.K or Japan.
    All this is thanks to the effort and dedication of my family, nothing would be as good without them.
    I think that traveling is an important way to find yourself, an incredible way to live the life and ironically to disconnect from this same.

  20. I have traveled to Panama and the Dominican Republic for the wedding of my cousin from the United States,

    I was with my parents, brothers, uncles, grandparents etc,

    I could see my relatives that I hadn't seen for a long time, but I couldn't see one of my aunts ;<

    That trip helped me have more fun, spend more time with my family, distract myself a little from the things that stress me :)

  21. First of all i think that traveling is one of the most incredible things that all we have to do because is somenthing were you can find who you are, new experiences, maybe things that you have never now so i think it's perfect that sometimes we would need a place where we need to feel in peace to find our selves and get out of that stress and that a lot of problems we have. So after all that I said hahaha I've never been outside from Guatemala but I've already go to the Isla of Petén Flores and Tikal since 2019 and was a very wonderfull experience with my family. I saw a lot of different costumes that people of petén have and a lot of different dishes that were soo delicious, (I've got hungry jeje) so that is one of the trips that I will never going to forgot. ☺

  22. I've been to the United States. I traveled with my family. I visited San Francisco, I've seen the famous bridge called Golden Gate. I've visited Disneyland but I've never ridden the roller coaster. I have always wanted to do it, but because of my age it was not allowed. I've been to Disneyland twice. So far, the weather has been excellent.
    During this trip I had a wonderful experience, I was able to enter the cabin of the plane. I have often talked about it with my mom. I have taken several photos with the pilot. I have not traveled a lot recently. I've always wanted to go to Venice. I've never walked around on a gondola.

  23. ⎙;; I have traveled the entire country and visited the border between Mexico and Guatemala, and they have been a very fun, fantastic and splendid experience above all.
    And it is much better when I travel with other family members since that is how we live together and the fun is much bigger and better, since we do not all live together according to the rules.
    Most of our trips are to the woods oh with these outside, sometimes we go to the beach.

    —. As long as you can take photos during the trip, since each one is a beautiful work and a small memory of our fun adventure!

  24. And you?
    What places have you been? Or not?
    What things have you already done? Or not? yes, i have been to panama, honduras and i have traveled all over guatemala
    Who are the people who have been with you? my whole family exactly would be my whole family part of my mom
    What benefits do you think travel brings us? Experiment with what we find and have new experiences, and discover new places. once we got on a roller coaster it scared us so much that my cousin who is very tall for his age started crying after we left he did not give us time to leave and gave us an extra ride since they did not stop us to leave,
