uuuu Guatemala!! my favorite!! 🇬🇹😍 You going to love it! Definitely try to do the Acatenango volcano hike! Highlight of my Central America trip!! 🤩 Enjoy and thank you for watching!
You mentioned that it was SO expensive.. but you went to the most expensive locations in your first country! Panama City is on par with any large city in the world and pretty pricey, as is the San Blas Islands. Had you went to the inner parts of Panama you would have found a backpackers paradise. Waterfalls and beautiful mountains. It's right next to Costa Rica, without the commercialization. I spent 10 days there and it was awesome and not expensive. I have not been to the other countries but I am betting that you went to places that catered to tourists so they charged tourist prices. Having said that, I want to go to Guatemala next. thanks for the info.
Thank you so much for the comment! Yes, definitely agree, I am sure there are cheaper places in Panama but San Blas was my dream to go to for many years so I had to hahaha and prices I was mostly comparing to South American countries. I do still think Central America is more expensive than South America. I could go to most touristic locations in SA and still would be cheaper than non-touristic places in CA. Only personal experience and opinion 🙏 Thank you so much for sharing your insights, I really appreciate it 😊

Such a great itinerary! Thanks for sharing all this great info! We are checking these destination off one by one and it’s great to see you highlights for each country
I agree with you, Guatemala is one of the most underrated countries I have been to. When I was at Lake Atitlan I couldn't help but wonder why such a breathtaking place isn't more well known. At least for now it's a hidden gem I guess :)
I think the prices went up the past few years with the digital nomad some people were able to work remotely and travel…. Some of the Airbnb’s and Hostel’s doubled…. or tripled…. With all the crime in different countries they’re also suggesting that Visitors hire a guide for Hiking so all these things are adding up so much
Hello! Thank you for this video, which island in Honduras do you mean between nicaragua and el salvador please? I know the ones recommended in the east coast but not west one
Uh I don’t remember now as I never ended up going via there, sorry 🙏 I think an option I also consider was taking the road by the coast to go from Nicaragua to El Salvador
Enjoyed hearing about the route you took for travels. Do you mind sharing the finances and costs of the trip? What was the overall budget you tried to keep it under?
Great video! I am planning to go back to Central America in 2024 after some 7 years. Interesting to hear about internet in Nicaragua. It's a wonderful place to visit though..As you are also working remotely - do you share accommodations you are staying at? Thanks.
Thank you! Yes, I would love to go to Nicaragua but couldn't risk about internet at the time. No, I am too old for that :D I did for a long time but now I travel with my boyfriend so we share half half on apartments. Between 2 people it works out ok. But I see how for solo traveler renting a whole apartment is a bigger cut in a budget. I been looking into co-living, but there again you share a kitchen and it is not for me anymore.
that internet thing has to be an anomaly because I have seen many very recent vidoes from people that live there and have internet no problem. One guy breaks down the cost of living.
