The Tranquilo Traveler
The Tranquilo Traveler is a celebration of voluntourism, slow travel, and other interesting ways to see the world. Travel writer and award- winning Moon Handbooks author Joshua Berman created The Tranquilo Travel as a resource for world trippers and international volunteers, a window to the author’s travels in Nicaragua, Belize, and beyond, and an update of his books and articles.
New Xeni Jardin posts from Guatemala
BoingBoing superstar Xeni Jardin is traveling in Guatemala again and has begun her journey with this thoughtful tribute to a “disappeared” firefighter. I’ll be keeping an eye on BoingBoing.net for more of Xeni’s dispatches from Central America, as she’s got a great knack for seeking out local artists and interesting issues. In this post, she highlights the work of James Rodriguez, a Guatemalan activist-artist with an impressive photojournalism blog.
Here are past Guatemala posts from Xeni, including pix and video of coffee porn.
On a different note, THANK YOU to my friends at Changes in Latitudes Travel Store and to the ONE HUNDRED people who came to my Belize show on Tuesday! I always knew there was a Colorado connection with Belize, but was still impressed with the turnout. Can’t wait for the next show (Nicaragua in November…?)
