You barely paid attention during Spanish class in high school and now you think it’s too late to pick up a new language. Right? Wrong!

13. Meet new people.
The Guatemalan people are very nice and always helpful. If you’re somewhat of a cynic or you’re from a city where people aren’t always all that friendly (cough cough New York, cough cough Miami) then this will be a particularly refreshing departure you’re your everyday life. After all, the best experts are the locals who live there, and when they are friendly you can really get a taste of what Guatemala is all about.
