Welcome to the steemit rabbit hole. Sounds like you have plenty to share that people will be interested in. I'm new here myself and have found it a little overwhelming. There is so much great content when you fall into the right feeds.

Really excited to hear about Guatemala. Will follow so I can be sure not to miss.
