About Me

My apartment is small and I can only accommodate 1 guest at a time. If you are coming to Panajachel I may be able you up at least 1 night, maybe more depending on the situation. I am from Florida but live here many years. I have a 4" foam mattress for guests to sleep on in my sala. A view of and 1 minute walk to Lake Atitlan. I speak English, French, Spanish, Greek (modern) and am conversant in several other languages ... most importantly Cakchiquel Mayan, which is what is spoken here at the lake. Love to swim in real water, travel, dance, meet new, positive people who don't cling to their cell phone, discuss art, science, culture, get exercise, create artwork, climb hills and trees, ride bikes, cook and eat and help people clean their homes. Since I am now focusing on learning Japanese, I am especially looking for Japanese guests.
