Hi! I’m 27, living full time in New York City but currently am an artist in residence at Gracia, in Antigua, Guatemala. My residency is quite small and very much self lead so I would love to meet some like minded women who want to have a coffee, a drink, love great design but most importantly love to laugh!

Hi! I'm Sofia, I'm 21 years old, I'm currently in college and I love traveling, pets, going for walks, partying, sports, reading and open to trying new things as well! My native language is spanish but I consider my english to be good enough to be understood (I hope) . I'm really looking forward to meeting new people from all over the world, since I think expanding your mind and experiences truly makes life a more interesting journey.

I‘m an outgoing girl always in the search for new adventures and good conversations. I live close to the Black Forest and like the mountains in general. I enjoy doing sports outdoors or just being outside drinking a glass of wine or bottle of beer watching the sunrise / sunset. Go with the flow is one of my essences. 💫

I have been to Guatemala three times, twice as a solo traveler and once with a boyfriend. It’s an amazing country, I highly recommend the Lake Atitlan area (stay in colonial Antigua or Panajachel), Semuc Champay is a must, and if you go to the ruins at Tikal stay in the charming town of Isla de Flores (a little island). Avoid Guatemala City, there isn’t as much to do there and I was robbed at my hostel (the thief ransacked my backpack while I was at dinner).

I travelled to Antigua, Guatemala alone to study Spanish for a month right after grad school. Guatemala was a wonderful place to visit. I travelled to Lake Atilan and took the ferries to the various villages surrounding the Lake. We also had a day of class held on a volcanic black sand beach. I found the yoga community in Antigua easily enough. There were many lively parades the July-August I was there. One late afternoon, there was a parade of furries which was surreal. I'd love to return.

I spent a month in Guatemala last summer. Antigua is likely my favorite Central American city. Lake Atitlán was heaven on earth. Guatemala City was clean and void of tourists. I found a local bus company in Antigua and they arranged all my transport. I do speak Spanish and had 0 issues for the month. Guatemala was so great that it kind of ruined me. I just want to go back. Kind people, phenomenal vegan food, a slower pace, Mayan culture miraculously very intact.

Gutatemala is amazing! I did the Acatenango hike in March with Wicho and Charlies and could recommend, they’re a little pricier but I had a good experience. Loved Lake Atitlan. Stayed there for 5 days and split the time between San Juan and San Pedro with some day trips. In San Pedro I can recommend a pizza place El Gato Perdido I had the absolute most amazing pizza, still dreaming about it. In San Juan I did volcano hike which was amazing (a day trip). So worth it though for the sunrise! I think San Juan is one of the bigger towns with more travelers, same with San Marco which has more yoga, vegan places.

I’ve been to Guatemala twice to volunteer. I always felt very safe and Guatemala in fact it’s one of my favorite places that I go. The people are very friendly, the food is delicious, and it’s a very beautiful country. Definitely go to the lake and climb the volcano. There is also a place near the lake that you can do zip lining. I did that and it was great very safe. I would highly recommend that it was super fun.

Such a beautiful country, with such kind people. If you enjoy the outdoors, hike Acatenango or Pacaya. Acatenango is rather difficult but so worth it, while pacaya is more of a simple hike. If you get a chance to go to Semuc Champey, do it - even if it’s only for a few days. And I couldn't recommend Lake Atitlan more. As for Guatemala City... there’s a cool nightlife scene but that’s risky as a solo traveler. I personally did not feel safe in the city.

See all
