Although currently I'm based in the state of Quintana Roo, yesterday I took a day trip to the state of Yucatan to see some of the amazing...

I'll start by saying I feel it's a real shame that Tequila in the Western world has such a negative reputation and the connotations of...

I had a fleeting visit to Mérida! Longer than I was in Campeche but it's a bigger city. During the late 1800s and early 1900s Mexico had...

Campeche is in the north of the Campeche state, on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico (my second sea/ocean of the trip!) and I arrived at...

The United States of Mexico (Estados Unidos Mexicanos) has 32 states. Chiapas is the most amazing one I've been to so far. Maybe it's my...

Today was a 12h+ day. I was collected at 7:35am and dropped back off in the town centre at 19:45, and got back to the hostel at around...

This is a photo of my hostel - although I've not actually looked at it myself yet as I arrived so late tonight! I was meant to arrive...

Trigger warning for this post: animal violence, animal cruelty, religious sacrifice, cult behaviour, alcohol consumption - the last...

Today was a day of two halves. The secind half of the day needs its own blog post with a trigger warning! This morning I walked around...

I'm now in a new State - Chiapas - and in a city called San Cristóbal de las Casas (or San Cris for short). It was a 13h 45m coach ride...

I have spent the last 48 hours on Mexico's south coast, right on the Pacific Ocean. It's absolutely stunning here and there is so much to...

I love this place! I'm reluctant to leave but I have really made sure to make the most of my two days here. When I leave tonight I have...

Oaxaca (pronounced wah-ha-kah) is a colourful and vibrant city, perfect especially for foodies. As soon as I got off the bus and started...

I had a mere 24hrs in Puebla, so I made them count! What a stunning city. I stated in a barrio (neighbourhood) called Los Sapos, known...

Puebla has been on my bucket list longer than anywhere else in Mexico. Although I'm only stopping for a day this place holds huge...

As part of the Spanish A Level curriculum, we study a novel. The novel I have chosen to study with the students at my school is a Mexican...

Mexico City feels like the biggest city I've ever been in. I've been to New York and Seattle, Paris and Tokyo. But this place just seems...
