Over two and a half years later they are barely halfway there; exploration takes time. You may find them on a chicken bus snacking on street food one day, photographing microfinance programs the next and climbing volcanoes after that. Please enjoy a week-in-the-life of Audrey and Daniel of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncorneredmarket.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Uncornered Market<\/a> while traveling through <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/7-travel-mistakes-i-made-in-guatemala\/\"><em>Guatemala<\/em><\/a><em>. <\/em>(This post was originally published in 2009; links and some info updated since then)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We share sample week from Guatemala.&nbsp; But it could well have been Armenia, Uzbekistan or Nepal. We roll from one bus ride to town to guesthouse to street stall to project. It\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/location-independent\/\">balance of travel, work and trying to create a fulfilling life on the road<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This post was originally published in 2009. It has since been updated for accuracy of links and content. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tuesday <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8 AM<\/strong>: Arrived at the Xela (Quetzaltenango) bus station right as our bus was leaving. Throw bags on the top of chicken bus and hurry inside. Fortunately, there are still seats remaining. Endless number of stops for a 90-minute trip to Totonicapan.&nbsp; A vendor gets on the front, another off the back.&nbsp; So many people selling stuff, from freshly made potato chips to school supplies guaranteed to bring your kids straight A&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10 AM<\/strong>: Arrive at hotel and realize that we misunderstood on the phone the price of a room with private bathroom. Decide to take room with shared bathroom for half the price. Hotel seems to be for Guatemalan traders; other guests aren\u2019t expecting two Gringos. Room is about two feet wider than the beds; looks like we\u2019ll need to break out the sleep sacks to avoid bed bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11 AM<\/strong>: Get some breakfast \u2013 rice and beans \u2013 with construction workers at makeshift food stalls near the construction site of the main square. Venture into town to explore the weekly market; fruit, vegetables, embroidered shirts, weaving, meat, books. Vendors keep giving us warnings about pickpockets; we hold our camera even closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1 PM<\/strong>: Find a restaurant with real coffee and rest our legs. Sign promises wifi internet, but we soon find out it\u2019s an empty promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5 PM<\/strong>: Take a minibus to a village outside of town to meet a Kiva fellow for dinner at her host brother\u2019s restaurant. He had lived in the States for ten years and was starting afresh back home with a simple restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9:30 PM<\/strong>: Try to catch the bus back to town, but we\u2019ve missed the last one. Become friends with a store owner while waiting; he decides to take us to town himself in his car. Word spreads and soon the car is packed with all his relatives.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/sunrise-squat.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/sunrise-squat.jpg\" alt=\"sunrise squat\" class=\"wp-image-1075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/sunrise-squat.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/sunrise-squat-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wednesday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5 AM<\/strong>: Sounds like a party outside. Television blaring, loud conversation. Regretting decision not to wear earplugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6:30 AM<\/strong>: Party ends 15 minutes before alarm goes off. Not the best way to start a long day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8 AM<\/strong>:&nbsp; Back on the minibus to the village to work with microfinance organization and Kiva fellow. Next five hours spent visiting Kiva borrowers in different villages, photographing them and hearing their stories of how they\u2019ve used their small loans to start businesses and improve life for their families. Stretch our limited Spanish skills to ask questions about family businesses so that they relax. Forget the camera and we can get some good shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4 PM<\/strong>:&nbsp; Try to connect at another restaurant promising wifi. No such luck. Walk the streets looking for an internet caf\u00e9 to check email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8 PM<\/strong>:&nbsp; Transfer and geotag all photos from the day\u2019s photo shoot. Watch a movie and collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/watching-sunrise.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/watching-sunrise.jpg\" alt=\"watching sunrise\" class=\"wp-image-1076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/watching-sunrise.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/watching-sunrise-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Thursday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9 AM<\/strong>:&nbsp; Choose photos from previous day\u2019s photo shoot over breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12 PM<\/strong>:&nbsp; Find internet caf\u00e9 to upload video, edit piece for our website and catch up on email correspondence. Hold a vigil so that the connection holds long enough to complete everything. Press \u201cpublish,\u201d pack up, and run out the door to catch a bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4 PM<\/strong>:&nbsp; Another minivan to the bus station.&nbsp; Designed to hold 17 people, but packed with 30. Each time we think no one else can fit, driver stops to pick up one more person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Board a chicken bus headed in the direction of \u201c4 Roads\u201d \u2013 a spot where two main roads meet. Pretend we don\u2019t speak Spanish to avoid conversation with drunk guy sitting behind us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the locals tell us we should get to San Francisco El Alto in 15 minutes. Don\u2019t know if that\u2019s by the Mayan calendar or what. It takes more than 30 minutes just to get to the highway crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5 PM<\/strong>:&nbsp; Bus drops us off on the side of the highway at \u201c4 Roads.\u201d Board another chicken bus, three people on each side. The aisle is packed.&nbsp; The bus sways. As it gets dark outside, the bus driver turns off the inside light. We figure this may not be a bad thing; if we fall off a cliff \u2013 a distinct possibility with the way the driver is going &#8211; we won\u2019t see it coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ticket guy knows we want to go to San Francisco El Alto, but he gives no signal it\u2019s time to get off. We ask the school kids in the seats around us for help. One girl shrieks at our inquiry and leaves. Another boy yells, \u201cGet off now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6 PM<\/strong>:&nbsp; Bus drops us off on the edge of town with two women carrying large bundles tied in brightly colored woven fabric on their heads. It\u2019s dark, we\u2019re without a map and we stand out in the darkness as the only foreigners in town. In this dusty town, lights of local tiendas (shops) shine through the dust giving the place an ethereal quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a name and address of a hotel. The women find us amusing as we try in our basic Spanish to ask for help, but point us in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wind our way through town as people mill about setting up stands for the following day\u2019s market. With all the news of safety issues at night, we walk fast and with purpose. After a few more stops to ask directions \u2013 and avoiding the town drunks who want to practice their English &#8211; we end up in the right place: Hotel Galaxia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6:30 PM<\/strong>:&nbsp; The woman running the hotel gives us the rundown of the market schedule. Stalls go up at 3 AM, but people start buying at 5 AM. Animals get sold behind the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our room: there\u2019s only cold water.&nbsp; The up side: a convenient excuse not to take a shower before tomorrow\u2019s 5AM start. But, despite the level of dilapidation \u2013 the kind that you cannot imagine the place as new and there are holes in the wall that used to be electrical outlets &#8211; we\u2019re happy because it has two plugs (that work) and a wastebasket. Ah, luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6:45 PM<\/strong>:&nbsp; Venture out on the streets to find something to eat. Pickings are pretty slim. A burrito to go and a warm beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10 PM<\/strong>: Our sleep sacks have become our best friends; we\u2019re worried about fleas\/bed bugs. The last few hotel beds have left us with itchy, red welts along the soft skin of our legs and backs\/stomachs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/3471373598_6643b96137.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/3471373598_6643b96137.jpg\" alt=\"3471373598_6643b96137\" class=\"wp-image-1077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/3471373598_6643b96137.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/3471373598_6643b96137-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Friday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5:30 AM<\/strong>: To market we go.&nbsp; The light falls on stack of cowboy hats under the shadow of the church.&nbsp; Cauldrons hint of breakfast. Soup, tamales, tea, tortillas. Girls walk around with large kettles of hot chocolate. Good stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venture up to the animal market behind the church. Pigs squeal and protest as if they know their imminent fate, geese peck at puppies, cows stubbornly refuse to move, sheep stand patiently as potential buyers turn them upside down and feel around to make sure they\u2019re healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8:30 AM<\/strong>:&nbsp; Market has become crowded. Uncomfortable to walk through the streets; the peacefulness of the early hours is gone. Get some breakfast \u2013 tamales and tea &#8211; at a local stall and catch a bus back to Xela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10 AM<\/strong>: Arrival in Xela. Pick up our big bags and check into a guest house. The hot water promised by management is not exactly hot\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12 PM<\/strong>: Lunch at our favorite caf\u00e9 as we try to upload photos to FTP for Kiva in the United States. All our praying doesn\u2019t work; the connection is too weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4 PM<\/strong>: Stumble upon parade in Xela\u2019s main square. A local tradition for the Friday before holy week is for university students to get dressed up and make floats that poke fun at local and international politicians and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6 PM<\/strong>: Meeting with trekking group to get equipment ready for the next morning\u2019s 3-day trek from Xela to Lake Atitlan. Didn\u2019t realize we had to carry sleeping bags and food. Backpacks heavier than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DanAudrey_UncorneredMarket.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DanAudrey_UncorneredMarket-600x398.jpg\" alt=\"DanAudrey_UncorneredMarket\" class=\"wp-image-1078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DanAudrey_UncorneredMarket-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DanAudrey_UncorneredMarket-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DanAudrey_UncorneredMarket-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DanAudrey_UncorneredMarket.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Saturday &#8211; Monday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next three days are spent going straight up hill or straight downhill; there\u2019s only two hours of flat ground in this hike.

Quetzal Trekkers is also a fantastic organization that gives all its profits to a school for street kids and has great volunteer guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hobble into San Pedro on Lake Atitlan, find real coffee, take showers, bandage up our toes and relax with a beer looking over the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Audrey &amp; Daniel are still adventuring through South America, and are currently traveling through Argentina.
