Lauren and Amy were both kind, respectful, and a pleasure to host. They brought a positive energy and were easy to have around during their stay.
At the beginning of their visit, Lauren wasn’t feeling well and needed several days to rest and recover, so she wasn’t able to fully participate right away. As she started to feel better later on, she… read more

Julie has one of the nicest houses we've seen in Guatemala and some of the sweetest dogs! Roux and Luna especially grew on us 🤗
Julie was kind enough to cook us dinner on some nights, sharing her home made meals from New Orleans and making pancakes for breakfast.
Walking the dogs down by the beach was very peaceful and I loved watching Luna going… read more

Emily is such a wonderful and kind person. She was so helpful to us and welcomed us from the first day. Even when Lauren was ill, Emily helped us so much. She came with us to the hospital and helped in translating with her excellent Spanish! - thank you Emily! 😊

It was such a joy having Amy and Lauren stay with us! From the moment they arrived, they felt like a natural extension of our family—like having two extra daughters around the house.
They brought so much life and laughter to our home with their constant jokes and great spirits. One of the highlights was during my husband’s birthday; they were so… read more

From the day of our arrival, Rosa and Vincent treated us like their daughters. As two young female travelers we felt so safe and welcomed. They have become like a second family to us.
We loved playing with their animals and grew special bonds with the dogs and cats.
We loved helping bring Rosa and Vincent's vision to reality by building a camp… read more

Lauren and I had an amazing time staying at Ricardo's. He has a beautiful property that includes a pool, jungle gym (in the making process), communal areas with hammocks and a couple cenotes (however they are more under construction and not ones you swim in). Ricardo was a great host to us when he drove us around to town and took Lauren to the… read more
