learned the most during that time. \u00a0this was a trip i backpacked Guatemala on a tight budget. \u00a0staying at $4\/night hostels and riding $1 bus rides that seemed like it would never end. \u00a0meeting cool people along the way from all over the world. \u00a0that was super fun.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-100699\"

driver would speed on some of the most deadliest roads in the world. \u00a0gravel road with steep cliffs. \u00a0no room for mistake. i actually closed my eyes and tried to sleep because i thought i was going to die at times.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-100698\"

bus and use the toilet right in the bushes. \u00a0girls too. \u00a0then a guy would pop out of nowhere and start selling fresh fruit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

while we were driving in some remote areas, guys would run and jump on the moving bus to get a free ride. \u00a0when this guy came out of the bushes and jumped on the bumper of our bus, i thought we were getting hijacked. \u00a0haha.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-100700\"

all worth it. \u00a0hiking up 8 hours and camping on the top of an active volcano that was erupting every 20 minutes was the highlight of my life. \u00a0i never felt so connected to nature, and i never thought in my life that i was going to die every 20 minutes. \u00a0it was an experience of a lifetime that i will never do again. \u00a0never!<\/p>\n<p>but if anyone wants to go on that same journey of a lifetime, i&#8217;ll tell you how. \u00a0but just to let you know, hundreds have died on that mountain before. \u00a0i found that out the next day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 years ago, i was going on luxury trips around the world with a group of friends. \u00a0it was the 5 star experience from start to finish.
