Kicking Off My 2019 Travels in Guatemala

I’m kicking off my 2019 travels with the first of 100 posts from the road. Right now, we’re in Guatemala, filming an upcoming special called “Ethiopia, Guatemala, Hunger, and Hope.” And this little clip celebrates how farmers who used to do subsistence farming, just growing corn in an attempt to feed their families, are now diversifying for the global market. These sugar peas are destined for London, and these farmers are destined to do some banking.

I’ll be posting almost daily now at https://blog.ricksteves.com for the next four months or so, as I travel from Guatemala to Ethiopia to Italy, Switzerland, Ireland, and more. So, be sure to let your traveling friends know — because we’re in for some great travels, and everyone’s invited.
