MEXICO
from mayans to mezcal
As the first country we visited as part of our year of adventure, Mexico will always have a very special place in our hearts. A country of enormous vibrancy, incredibly strong cultural identity & fascinating history, it is somewhere we are sure we will return to. The Mexicans we met along the way were keen to share their stories, as well as gracing us with an inordinate amount of patience whilst we butchered their language with our first linguistic forays into Spanish.
Our content on Mexico is split between practical guides to help you plan your journey, as well as informative pieces to help you travel deeper.
