Guatemala Otra Vez, Otra Vez

Resident of Antigua, GuatemalaI've been waiting a whole year to tell you this: I'm going to Guatemala tomorrow.

Don't worry, there's a special street storytelling version of Five Easy Questions being published while I'm gone, but I won't be answering emails for the next ten days.

In the meantime, I'd like to refer you to one of my favorite reporters. 

Last year, Xeni Jardin spent a lot of time reporting in Guatemala for different magazines and in her personal blog. Guatemala is my favorite country in Central America. I lived there for two years in Peace Corps, but it's time for new stories.

No matter where we travel, all us fledgling writers should follow Jardin's example. Check out her five-part NPR series that shows an unexpected side of Guatemala:

"an overview of how innovative uses of technology are creating change in this Central American nation. From forensic scientists using DNA to identify death squad victims, to digital archivists preserving once-secret police documents from the civil war, to grassroots infrastructure tech providing electricity and clean water to Mayan villages."

Thanks to Xeni Jardin for the picture...
