So I’m on the last leg of my 2-week holiday in Mexico. To answer the FAQs: 1) It’s absolutely safe as long as you don’t wander into sketchy places, 2) Food is cheap and DELICIOUS, 3) You can get around with a few basic Spanish phrases (e.g. “donde esta el bano?“) While travelling through Mexico, […]

Not rushing through them like your typical packaged tour, but spending a leisurely 3 weeks in each country so you can really soak in the culture. Being on the road is tiring,
A big part of living a rich life is being able to spend money on the things we want. Personally, I love spending on travel – In fact, I save a sizeable amount every month so I can take at least one big trip a year.
