About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the spirit of Sandino and watch a baseball game! Sadly no hosting at this time...

ABOUT ME

We are a Scottish couple currently living, working, creating on the other side of the Atlantic.

Right now we work for stay at a hotel in the mountains of Guatemala near Antigua. Nicky also teaches Art and English at the local school. We're doing our best to learn Spanish and to learn more about the culture here. We are hoping to explore more of Central America in the next couple of months before heading North to Mexico.

PHILOSOPHY

tread with care and pay attention...
