About Me:	Welcome Travelers! I’m Marina K. Villatoro and I am so excited to chat with you about traveling with your family! Twelve years ago I took a solo trip to Latin America. I traveled through 14 countries started from my home in New York through Mexico all the way down to Argentina and Chile overland. During my long trip I met my husband while camping in Tikal Mayan Ruins in Guatemala. Since then, my family and I have been living in Central America (Costa Rica and Guatemala) for over ten years. The best part about being an Expat is the fact that you always have an excuse to travel! We have traveled all over Costa Rica, Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Florida, United States, Cuba, plenty of Cruises and are embarking on more and more travel. I am here to offer advice, tips, recommendations on where to eat, stay and play with your family and kids! Since my travel addiction needs its constant fix, I drag my family with me ALL THE TIME! Happy Travels!

I've been an expat 10+ years in Central America raising 2 boys in a multicultural, trilingual household. We travel all over the world. Needless to say, it’s never boring!
