The Souvenirist: Destination Guide Guatemala | Jan. ‘26

Regan Billingsley of RB Curated was featured in a travel and culture focused Substack called The Souvenirist by Jenn Barger. The article, Titled; ‘55. Just Got Back From Guatemala’ acts as a destination guide for Guatemala and Regan was interviewed as a trusted insider.

HERE’S AN INTRODUCTION TO THE FEATURED DESTINATION GUIDE:

Guatemala is a land of bright textiles, Spanish colonial architecture, and imposing Mayan ruins. Few people know it like Regan Billingsley, a Washington, D.C./Florida interior designer I’ve become pals with after writing about her for The Washington Post and other pubs. Besides decking out clients’ spaces, Billingsley spearheads RB Curated, a luxe line of pillows, bed coverings, and fabric made in Guatemala. She frequently travels around the Central American country working with artisans.

Here, Billingsley pinpoints where to go in the colonial city of Antigua and around Lake Atitlán, two of Guatemala’s top spots for visitors. Read on to find out where she shops, eats, sightsees and hikes in this vibrant country. I’m taking notes since my husband and I head to Guatemala next month!
