My name is Antonio Fumagalli, and I'm a Denver native so I've had the privilege of growing up in the outdoors. I enjoy skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and photography. My major is Geography and Environmental Science and I would like to work remotely and travel.
I choose Antigua, Guatemala as my location because my father is from there. It was the country's capital for 200 years until it was severely damaged by earthquakes and then relocated to its location in modern day Guatemala City. The original town was, and still is, a major agricultural, religious, and educational center for the area.
When I visited about three years ago, it was like no other town I had every seen. Looking into the valley I saw lush coffee plantations and Renaissance architecture neatly organized on a grid-like layout. Although it's not the central hub it used to be, Antigua still preserves Guatemalan cultures and traditions that made my visit so unique and special.
