Crossing international borders on foot is always an unusual experience, and even avid travelers rarely get the chance to do so. In the case of Mexico and Belize, information published online in 2017 was already out-of-date...
Have you ever been to a place that everyone rants and raves about, but you just didn’t feel the magic? That was Los Cabos for me. I enjoyed my time there, but I didn’t fall in love with it the way I did with many of my other recent destinations...
Most people would probably want to stay home and rest after spending a week in Greece, but not me! I spent the following weekend in Isla Mujeres, a small island off the coast of Mexico’s most famous tourist destination, Cancún. Isla is easy to get to and offers a totally different experience...
This is Caffeinated Excursion's second guest post! My cousin, Kailyn, recently went to San Juan, Puerto Rico and has written about her experience! If you're looking for crystal clear waters, delicious food and drinks, and America's only tropical rainforest, read more here...
For my latest excursion, I returned to the Bay Area to visit a friend from college, Stephanie, who was a totally amazing tour guide of San Jose and the nearby California coast!

The past month or so has been filled with some truly amazing weekend trips! Since moving to Mexico in July, I’ve taken five weekend trips (without taking a Friday or Monday off), and for my sixth, I decided to check out the capital of Panama. It ended up being a towering, cosmopolitan city with amazing dining options and an international vibe...
After going to Colombia and having a blast in the beautiful city of Medellín last weekend, I figured that this weekend’s trip to Monterrey would be fairly low-key. On the contrary, I discovered another awesome city with its own unique culture...
As a travel blogger who started this blog in January of 2018, I am always tempted to write about places I’ve been in years past. One such place is Austin, Texas. I first visited in June of 2017 to see a good friend from college...
Greetings amigos! If this is your first time visiting Caffeinated Excursions, welcome to my travel blog! Today I’ll be sharing one of Mexico’s best-kept secrets with you: Bacalar!
