Mexico is for sure one of my favorite countries out there. I’ve been lucky enough to visit it up and down, from Mexico City over Oaxaca and Chiapas, all the way to the beaches of Quintana Roo. A couple of years ago, I even ended up living out there for about six months! Because I…
There aren’t too many hidden gems left in Mexico’s Yucatán, and while I’m not sure I’d call Bacalar one, it’s definitely still under the radar when it comes to vacation spots in Mexico. This magical town sits right on the edge of the famous Lagoon of Seven Colors, and it’s full of life, from great…

Isla Mujeres is just a quick 20-minute ferry ride from Cancun, which makes it one of the easiest and best day trips you can do from the mainland. There are a few different ways to do a day trip to Isla Mujeres, you can join a catamaran tour, book a guided day trip, or just…
Playa del Carmen, Mexico, is one of my favorite spots when I’m in the mood for a busier vibe, somewhere right in the middle of the action but still with beautiful beaches and great hotels all around. To me, Playa del Carmen feels like a mix between Cancún and somewhere a little more relaxed, which…
