Business & Technical Writing

Hoofing it Through the Cloud Forest in Miraflor, Northern Highlands
Note: Following the previous post from Los Zorros, in the northwest of Nicaragua, we travelled by bus to Estelí, in the more central northern region of highlands that border Honduras. We followed instructions for where [...]
