ABOUT ME

Hola, I´m Juan Pablo and I´m a Gemini with a twin brother (I don´t really know about astrology, but someone said that it meant something, maybe you can explain it to me)I like coffee, wine, beer and Guatemalan Rums. I enjoy traveling around Guatemala so if I have the time I can skip job for a couple of days and be your travel buddy. I´ll show you great places (avoiding of course the tourist ones)I love to find the best hidden places of every town/country I visit. That´s the real way to see the real world and to meet the real people. I don´t ever want to be consider a tourist, I consider myself a travelerI love to play soccer, Future Trips -Do USA Coast to Coast Jack Kerouac Style (New York to San Francisco)with extremely low budget -Yucatan-Who knows what next, something random I guess...
