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 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…
When it comes to beaches in Tulum, there’s a lot of information out there and honestly, a lot of misinformation too. I’m a bit on the fence myself when it comes to Tulum’s beaches and how they’re being handled by the government and local authorities. On one hand, Tulum is famous for its gorgeous, white-sand…
So you’re heading to Mexico and wondering if catching the ferry to Isla Mujeres is actually worth it? Well, I’m here to give you all the deets you need to figure that out. This little island sits just a short ferry ride from Cancun, about 20 minutes, but it feels like a complete escape from…
I’m a foodie through and through, which is probably why this is the Tulum guide I’m most excited to share since it’s all about the best restaurants in Tulum Mexico. I’ve always loved exploring new flavors, but my obsession with Mexican food is on another level. Honestly, I think it’s the best cuisine in the…
