Your Hosts-Stacey & Rich
Hi, I'm Stacey Funt, a physician, certified health coach, lifelong global adventure traveler, and the founder of LH Adventure Travel. I first visited Antigua, Guatemala, over 30 years ago and was immediately captivated by its cobblestone streets, lush garden oases behind beautifully carved wooden doors, and charming rooftop restaurants with stunning volcano views. The authentic atmosphere, laid-back vibe, and rich culture have kept me coming back ever since. It’s the perfect backdrop for an active and flexible itinerary that also leaves plenty of time for relaxation and self-care, which is exactly what we aim for on this trip. This will be my fourth time leading a group here, and it’s always a joy to watch each guest fall in love with the country.
Hi, I'm Rich Slesinski, a physics teacher and Stacey's husband. Over the years, I've trekked with Stacey all over the globe, and I take off each summer to hike a section of the Appalachian Trail on my own. I’ve had the privilege of being on many group trips, and I’m really looking forward to co-leading this one with Stacey. Guatemala has been a part of our conversations for years, and I’m thrilled to finally experience it with all of you.
