Today, I’m going to attempt to answer the question, is Tijuana worth visiting? based on my thoughts when visiting in 2024. My friend and I recently took a trip to Valle de Guadalupe wine region and the easiest way to get there from Mexico City was by flying into Tijuana. My friend had heard through […]

I just got back from a fantastic trip to Baja California Norte, of which visiting Valle de Guadalupe wine region was easily the highlight. On paper (well, website), this isn’t saying much because the other two stops we made were Tijuana and Ensenada and we didn’t think much of either (apart from the incredible fish […]

One of the most charming places I’ve visited lately is Lo de Marcos, a pretty and peaceful town on the Riviera Nayarit. Although it’s near to popular tourist destinations like Sayulita and Puerto Vallarta, it feels like a different world. Gone are the crowds and booming bars. Forgotten are the packed beaches where you can […]

Since I’ve lived in Mexico, I’ve visited Sayulita several times. What was once a sleepy surfing town is now a popular tourist destination – and for good reason. It’s a pleasant pueblo (at least when it’s not too busy) but there aren’t endless things to do in Sayulita town… The real appeal lies in its […]

During my second trip to Sayulita recently, I spent over 2 weeks in town, discovering many of the best Sayulita restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops. Once a chilled, surfers village, Sayulita has boomed in popularity in the last few years. If the construction is anything to go by, tourism won’t be slowing down anytime soon. […]

I’ve been to many places in Mexico by this stage but I have to say Bacalar is a firm favorite. For starters, it’s unbelievably beautiful. There aren’t so many things to do in Bacalar that you’re rushed off your feet but that’s a good thing: you can explore the lagoon at your leisure while enjoying […]

So you’re planning a trip to Oaxaca? This is one of my absolute favorite places in Mexico. Not only are there countless things to do in Oaxaca City from museums to galleries, but there are some fantastic excursions and day trips you can take. Honestly, I think one of the best ways to pass time […]

How to describe Mexico City’s Historic Center? Well, it’s a place of contrast. It’s hectic, urban, and a little gritty in parts, but it’s also home to incredibly grand historic buildings making up the World Heritage Site that includes Xochmilco waterways. There are markets packed with modern flashy gadgets – mostly knockoffs – alongside historic establishments […]

I recently went hiking in Desierto de los Leones National Park (Parque Nacional Desierto de los Liones), widely considered one of the best places to hike near Mexico City. It’s undoubtedly a beautiful place with sweeping landscapes and views of la cuidad in the valley below. However, I wouldn’t say it’s the easiest hike unless […]
