Time for a little update on your favorite Guatemalan telenovela… Last time I updated, the big piece of news was that our land development’s deeds got approved!! It is a big middle finger pointed right at the council as they had required us to provide a lot of useless and costly studies (telling me… Read more

Little house in Guatemala, month 13
So we have been home for about a month now, back from Europe, and a lot has happened. First, we had our first Airbnb guests! I had 4 bookings in November, and made about $400. The first couple got there one day after we arrived ourselves, with BF’s aunt in tow. They rented our new… Read more

Little house in Guatemala, week 52, back home edition
Hi there! I finally made my way back to Guatemala, just on time for my one year anniversary. I had been away for over two months, and thankfully the trip back was less eventful than the way out via Cancun. I flew to Atlanta where I had a 12 hour layover, I thought about contacting… Read more
I can’t complain
I realize that I have complained a lot lately about how slow things have been and how frustrating it is to deal with Guatemalan bureaucracy and the red tape. But really, there are many reasons why I can’t complain, you can’t have it all. If I love that most rules aren’t enforced and you can… Read more

Little house in Guatemala week 45, off to Europe
So I got this crazy idea to check last minute flights to Europe and found a $150 flight from Cancún to Madrid. Going to Cancún is a bit complicated, and what does a French girl do in Madrid to get back home is another hassle but long story short it was too good to pass… Read more
Little house in Guatemala, week 41
Ugh. The past couple of weeks have been pretty tough. BF was away and I was still dealing with the long long process of splitting my 90 acres land in 100 smaller plots. We gave up trying to split in 260 for fear it would be too much at once to get approved easily, and… Read more
Little house in Guatemala week 39-40
I have been really annoyed with the land workers lately. Well, with the contractor, the other ones just obey him. He is a macho and only listens to BF, and at the same time wants to be treated like one of us, which leads to awkward situations. Anyway, BF was gone for a few weeks… Read more
