Put Tikal on your Central America Bucket List

Visiting the ancient Mayan city of Tikal was one of the most beautiful experiences that I had in Guatemala – and I climbed volcanoes, swam in hot springs, splashed in turquoise waterfalls and ate myself silly – yet Tikal eclipses them all which is why I recommend it. Where: Northern …

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.

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”…
