I’m a massive foodie and it’s honestly one of the biggest reasons I travel. Wherever I go, I make it my mission to try as much good food (and as many good restaurants) as possible. Life’s too short for bad meals, right? Before visiting Isla Holbox for the first time, I didn’t expect much from…
As much as I’m a huge foodie when I travel, I’m equally obsessed with coffee. No matter where I am in the world, I’m always hunting down the best local café or coffee shop, it’s basically a core part of my morning routine. Holbox was no different. When I visited recently, I was genuinely surprised…
Out of all the popular destinations in this part of Mexico, I’d say Isla Holbox is probably the trickiest one to reach, at least compared to Cancun, Tulum, or even Isla Mujeres. Holbox is a small island not too far from Cancun, but it’s much less developed than the other beach towns nearby. That also…
Isla Holbox, Holbox Island, or just Holbox, whatever you want to call it, it’s all the same place, and it’s easily my favorite destination in this part of Mexico. Holbox is rugged, rustic, and a little rough around the edges and that’s exactly what makes it special. Compared to places like Cancun, Playa del Carmen,…
One of my absolute favorite places in the entire Yucatán Peninsula and honestly, maybe all of Mexico, is Isla Holbox. It’s a small, sandy island not too far from Cancún, with soft white beaches, turquoise water, and a completely different pace of life. There are no cars here, just golf carts and bikes, which already…
Mexican food is one of my all-time favorite cuisines. Growing up in Texas, I like to think I’m basically an expert in all things tacos, margs, and ceviche. But I’ll be honest, when you’re in a super touristy destination, finding good, authentic Mexican food can be tough. And Isla Mujeres? Oh, there were definitely some…
One of the things I love most about Isla Mujeres is how easy it is to reach. Just a quick 20-minute ferry ride off the coast of Cancun and boom, you’re suddenly surrounded by the bluest water, some of the best sunsets in Mexico, and a totally different vibe from the chaos of the Hotel…
Tulum is without a doubt one of the most popular vacation destinations in Mexico and honestly, I get why. I know it gets mixed reviews online (and a few justified eye-rolls), but I still think you can have an amazing time here if you do it the right way. I’ve visited Tulum several times now,…
If you’re planning a trip to Isla Mujeres, timing really does make a difference. The island has its own rhythm, from perfect blue-sky days to quick tropical downpours that pass before you’ve even finished your margarita. The truth is, Isla Mujeres is beautiful all year. But depending on what you’re hoping for, whether that’s fewer…
There are so many reasons why I still love Tulum and why I think it’s worth visiting no matter what people on the internet say and one of the biggest ones is the fact that Tulum has way more to offer than just a beach. I’ve been to Tulum a handful of times now, and…
