Every visitor to Mexico City should take a day trip to the famous pyramids at Teotihuacan, and in this post I’ll share how you can do it affordably without any confusion or stress! The process hasn’t changed since my first journey there in 2018, so I’m hoping that this guide will remain accurate and relevant throughout 2019...
Since I started blogging in January of 2018, I’ve taken dozens of weekend trips to cities and towns in the US, Mexico, and beyond. In almost every case, the atmosphere or vibe of the city was easy to pinpoint after only a few hours of exploring. But for whatever reason, that wasn’t the case with Dallas, a city with an elusive character...
Just as the title of this post suggests, Puerto Vallarta is the first destination in Mexico that I’ve visited twice. This beach town on Mexico’s Pacific Coast in the state of Jalisco has everything you could want in a getaway: amazingly warm weather, beautiful blue skies and beaches, great food and drinks, and wonderfully “chill” west coast vibe...
After visiting a number of beach destinations in and around Mexico at the end of 2018, I was ready for a change of pace. While searching for cool places to visit that aren't on the coast, I came across the city of Guanajuato! It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988, and for good reason...
Earlier this month I spent a weekend in Belize and absolutely loved it! I visited the quiet little town of Corozal right across from the Mexico border and was fascinated by the little details that make this town so quaint. Corozal was the perfect place to get a first look at Belizean culture...
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 In the case of Mexico and Belize, information published online in 2017 was already out-of-date...
For my last major excursion of 2018, I spent five days in Lima, Peru. Since moving to Mexico, I’ve always wanted to visit because a friend from college named Paula lives there... She was such an amazing host and knew all the best places to visit...
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...
As part of my recent week-long vacation in Greece, I visited Santorini with a friend from high school, Ismael. We knew that Santorini would be picturesque, but the beauty of its less-Instagram’ed spots is as stunning as its blue-domed churches and pastel-colored villages...
