▶️ Ekaterina will share her unusual story of moving from Canada to Central America. She and her ex-husband took a road trip in a camper van and ended up in Honduras, where they participated in an ambitious project to create their own city with independent infrastructure, a hospital, a government system, and internal rules. However, after a change in the country's president, the project was canceled, and the family was forced to completely change their plans.
Today, Ekaterina lives in Guatemala with her two children and shares her real-life experiences of life in the country. In this interview, we will discuss the quality of healthcare, crime rates and safety, and the specifics of kindergartens and school education. Why are free schools in Guatemala often unsatisfactory for locals and expats? How much does private education cost, and what should you consider when choosing a school for your child?
Ekaterina will also talk about her daily life, expenses, her children's adjustment, her future plans, and why she decided to stay in Guatemala. In conclusion, she offers practical advice for those considering moving to this country or already preparing to do so.
✅ Watch the interview to the end to learn about the pros and cons of life in Guatemala through the eyes of someone who has experienced relocation, changing countries and cultures, and also encountered unexpected twists of fate.
