Cancun is an awesome place for many things, depending on what you’re interested in.
You could see it as a place of relaxation, where you can just chill by the beach for days.

One night in Merida, Mexico
Just a quick video from our one night in Merida on our way to Chichen Itza.
Crazy VW taxi ride in Taxco, Mexico
As I climbed through the one usable door and into the worse-for-wear backseat of the ramshackle white VW beetle, I wasn’t completely sure I was doing the safest thing.
It wasn’t.
But these beat-up, no-working-seat-belted VWs were the officially taxis of Taxco, and we were desperate to get to the top of the mountainside town to see the famous Christ statue.
Things you must do in Acapulco, Mexico
If you’re headed to Mexico, you must visit Acapulco. If it’s not on your itinerary, it is now. Consider it done. Hands down, Acapulco was my favourite destination in Mexico. Our couple of nights there were amazing. Acapulco is kind of like the Gold Coast (Australia) of Mexico – Or the Miami (US), or Nha Trang (Vietnam) of Mexico. Yes, it’s a resort city, so it’s very touristy, but don’t let that put you off. Continue reading “Things you must do in Acapulco, Mexico”

Laying on a beach bordered on one side with bright blue ocean, and on the other by a Nature Park filled with monkeys and other wildlife going about their business, I thought to myself, “This is paradise.”
It looked like paradise, it felt like paradise: Therefore I shall always refer to Manuel Antonio as my little slice of paradise. Continue reading “Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica: The destination for the adventurous”

Combating fears: Canyoneering in La Fortuna, Costa Rica
The La Fortuna Waterfall is a wonderous sight, but it’s not a waterfall you want to stand under for a pretty holiday snap.
The volume of water that spills 70m to literally crush down into the blue pool below would kill you if you stood directly below it.
So just look, but don’t touch. Continue reading “Combating fears: Canyoneering in La Fortuna, Costa Rica”
