DENIED at the Border! Trapped Between Mexico & Guatemala | They're gonna take our van?!

We set out for what we thought would be a straightforward border day into our fourth country on this Pan-American adventure… and it quickly turns into one of the most stressful days of the trip. A few bad mistakes at the crossing leave us in a spot we never expected, stuck between two countries and trying to figure out what to do next with our whole life on wheels. We’re not border experts, just two people learning as we go, and this episode is us sharing the hard parts as honestly as the highlights. We made mistakes, we learned a lot, and we’re incredibly grateful we still get to continue learning and growing with every new adventure. ✨ If you’d like to support our journey and help us keep creating van life stories from the road, here are a few ways you can do that: 🌿 Patreon:   / kristascompass   ☕️ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/kristahameq 💛 YouTube Memberships:    / @kristascompass   💫 PayPal: https://paypal.me/kristascompass Your support means the world and helps us keep sharing more adventures down the Pan-American Highway!
