What I Miss Most About Growing Up in Guatemala

Growing up in Guatemala, food was more than just something we ate—it was a way families came together. Some of my strongest memories are connected to traditional meals, local markets, and the aromas that filled the kitchen during family gatherings.

One of the first things I look for when I return to Guatemala is authentic Pepián. The rich flavors immediately bring back memories of home and remind me why Guatemala's culture is so special.

Today, through GuateArtisan, I have the opportunity to share another part of Guatemala that I love: the incredible craftsmanship of the artisans who create beautiful handmade textiles, jade jewelry, and home décor.
