Tulum is my ultimate favourite beach destination in México. It is tranquil and stunningly beautiful. If I ever retire myself from the real world and decide to become a real hippy (which I'm sure many of you don't doubt will happen in the near future) this is where I...

It was now time for Steffi's and mine adventure to start, except this adventure was less of the hiking and exploring adventure and more of the lying on the beach and relaxing (moving only for food and alcohol) kind of adventure. We researched the most relaxing places...

We had planned to spend my birthday evening in Cancún all together before we set off on our separate ways the next day. We arrived at the hotel late afternoon and only had time for a quick dip and catch up with Steffi before heading off to get ready for our evening...

So we had done a lot of driving around and we were tired of being on the move so we decided to spend a relaxing day in Campeche and the next day (my birthday) make the long drive back to Cancún. The hotel we were staying in was really beautiful, in the style of an...

After our taco feast we decided to start the day with some hard-core exercise....NAAAT!!! Clearly that was a joke. We decided to go to the beach, relax and eat some more. We were in Mérida and the only other thing we had planned for the day was to see the ruins of...

There are many things to see around México, but the Mayan coast is famous for three things: ancient ruins, beaches and cenotes (sink holes). Cenotes are natural holes in the earth made from collapsed limestone that exposes the groundwater underneath so you get like a...

The north of México is a very special place to me. It is much more similar to certain regions in the United States but it has a very northern Mexican feel which can be seen in the food, the music, the lifestyle and both the character and the appearance of the people....

I just wanted to make a short blog about Mexican beer because I really love it and I never drink as much beer anywhere as I do when I'm here. I am definitely not a beer expert but the most famous Mexican beer in the world is Corona and I personally think it's shit and...

Flor is well aware of my obsession with everything cowboy and although she claims not to share my passion (I know secretly she loves it), she's always been promising to take me to one of the many bars in Chihuahua where real cowboys hang out. This time I got her...

The one thing I love about Latin America is that literally everywhere you go you make new friends. In the plane from Bogotá to New York on my way to London I had planned to catch up on my blog, and I ended up not writing a single word because the two Colombian...

So my brave boyfriend made it through his surgery like a true Spartan and I was back on the road. Before going back to the gypsy lifestyle though, I had a relaxing month back in Monterrey. I wish I could say I did lots of cultural things that developed me further as a...

Yesterday we spent the day in Xochimilco, a borough of Mexico City in the south, famous for its collection of canals. The canals are what is left over from the lake and canal system used during the Azteca times. The whole ancient Aztec city of Tenochtitlan (modern day...

over 50 mosquito bites in two nights...a personal record 🙂

As most of my time in Mexico has been spent eating, drinking and sleeping, I thought it was only fair to share one of the most important Mexican foods- tacos. Despite the fact that burritos and fajitas are advertised as being the most "Mexican" meals in the rest of...

So for almost a week now I've been visiting friends in Monterrey in the north of Mexico- the city where I spent my year abroad. Monterrey is the second biggest city in Mexico and since the times of Porfirio Diaz it has been one of the most important business centres...

Independence day celebrations awaited me in my first weekend in Mexico. Everyone gets Mexico fever, there are flags everywhere and lots of people dress in traditional costumes and the national colours. The most important part of the day is when the president comes to...
