The Embrace of Silence: A Story of Hope and Healing During the Guatemalan Civil War

Biographie de Miguel Yga

Miguel Yga is a traveling journalist, writer, and adventurer on a mission to collect and share stories that explore the human experience. By weaving travel and storytelling, his two greatest passions, Miguel takes readers into forgotten corners of the globe to live vicarious experiences that foster a sense of adventure and expand their inner and outer worlds. In pursuit of his calling, Miguel has spent the past eight years on the road collecting stories, primarily among indigenous peoples. His travels have taken him to the remote corners of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Ecuador, Colombia, Canada, and the United States, where strangers from over a dozen different indigenous communities-artists, stargazers, shamans, tribal elders, and community leaders-have welcomed him and provided intimate, firsthand access to their world.
When he isn't having near runs with sharks, trudging through jungles, or otherwise traveling the world, Miguel enjoys the pursuit of quiet pleasures that deepen his experience of life-until adventure comes knocking once more.
