Delighted to have written something for the FT Magazine. It's about Guatemala's chicken buses, and a lot else too: creativity, crime, corruption, inequality and hope.

Colour and cautious hope on a ‘bling bling’ bus journey through Guatemala https://t.co/TbLXGJvVBO

My latest piece for the FT is on the Camino de Costa Rica, a brilliantly beautiful 16-day coast-to-coast walk.

Thanks to UrriTrek for having me along, and to Eliseo, Craig, Ian, Fiona and Renate for being such brilliant company.

Guatemala’s democracy still hangs in the balance.

Nearly 100 days into Arévalo’s presidency, the slow pace of progress is setting off alarm bells among some of his supporters.

The SDF was formed to fight Isis and is now battling to maintain stability in its territory. But it is surrounded by enemies and if it buckles the area will implode into war ⬇️ https://t.co/TO46BRm2wU

NEW @FTMag: my deep dive into Opus Dei, a powerful group in the Catholic Church.

Girls across the world joined catering schools for an education. Instead, they were coerced into believing they had a calling from God to work as unpaid domestic servants.

El tribunal electoral salvadoreño sabe que su credibilidad está en juego. No quiso detallar en público las causas del caos del domingo pero sí se los contó a los partidos en privado. Aquí está el audio y la nota.

our investigation of @RMendezRuiz was almost as long a journey as his on his way to becoming the human equivalent to a judicial molotov cocktail in #Guatemala. Let the #netcenter barrage begin 😰 ... https://t.co/RYvlCWCJM3

[Juan Diego Quesada @jdquesada]

Le pregunté a Bukele si compartía las palabras de su vicepresidente en las que decía que estaban “desmontando” la democracia para instaurar “algo nuevo”. Quise saber qué era ese “algo nuevo”. No le gustó y el asunto llegó hasta el balcón presidencial.
