leif-guatemalaMy name is Leif Harum. I’m a travel writer, photographer and independent travel blogger based out of New York City and Panajachel.

When I was 16, I took the road less traveled and ventured out into the world. I traveled through much of Europe and the Middle East without a cent to my name.

After suffering countless hardships and having witnessed the extent of inequity in the world I decided to return to my education.

In 2010 I received a BA in Global Studies from the University Of California Santa Barbara. In that same year I began an MSc program at the United Nations University in Tokyo, Japan.

It wasn’t until November 2013 that I finally arrived on Lake Atitlan. I immediately fell in love and decided to make the lake my home base.

After failing to find any solid travel information on Lake Atitlan or much of Guatemala, I decided to start Atitlan Living.
