Put Tikal on your Central America Bucket List

Should I climb a volcano? What do I need to know?

Guatemala is a country over spilling with volcanoes – nearly everywhere you look there is a peak sprouting up into the sky, often emitting a cloud of ash in its wake. As you travel around you will notice that nearly all of your fellow travellers have an opinion on if …

About the Lite Backpacker

Hello, I’m Helen, AKA The Lite Backpacker – an Australian with an English accent (thanks to having one English parent) on the 30 side of my 20s. Like so many Australians, at 18 I packed up my backpack and headed to Europe, flittering from museum to bar for nearly a year. When I came home I thought I had gotten the “travel bug” out of my system as well as putting on an unhealthy amount of “backpacking weight”. Instead, within 6 months I had booked my next trip, with a vow of finding a way to enjoy travel food without the weight gain. Read More about “About Me”…
