Hello. Moving from Alaska

Post new topic

Noahe

Hola all,
My name is Noah. I currently live in Alaska, USA. I will be moving to Guate in August. I have been to Guatemala twice before. The last time was in Jan. of this year.
I am ready to go, I am just waiting a while longer in order to save a little more money before I leave.
I work in the oilfield here in Alaska, but I will have to change job descriptions when I get to Guate. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
P.S. I love Antigua, but I will have to start out in Guate. Hopefully I can eventually relocate to Antigua. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen on earth.
Hasta luego,
Noah

It was great meeting you too Mark. I'll be back in Guate in August. I'm still trying to decide what to do for work, but I have a couple of ideas.
