San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México, January 30, 2018

This relatively small town was on the very first page of lonely planet Mexico, as one of the top recommendations in the country. Unfortunately it has been very cold since I came here. I hear it’s being unusually cold in Mexico city as well, so I assume it’s affecting the whole central region. With triple …

Teatro del bicentenario, Leon, Mexico January 27, 2018

A week in Leon was just another example of serendipity, which seems to happen so effortlessly when traveling. The original plan of staying one day ended up being a week in the city, thanks to the new friends. This was my 6th day in Leon while walking around the public garden in front of the …

Lunch together, SAS mecánico automotriz, León, mexico, Jan 25, 2018

Rice porridge, Guadalajara Jara, Mexico, Jan 21 2018

I like it when companies are upfront about how much they’re going to pay. And It’s interesting to take a peek at how much some of the locals are making. Along with local radios, newspapers make travels more enjoyable. *It’s in Mexican pesos. @soriana, Guadalajara, Mexico

First camping, playa El Tecolote, Jan 1st, 2018

First camping experience with a tent other than camping in the car. Cooking and having dinner in the dark and falling asleep to the sound of waves was too movie-like so it felt funny. However, since there were not many people around so theoretically it could have been dangerous during the night. And when the …
