Mexico

After 11 wonderful weeks, we Globetrottergirls are finally moving on from Mexico. On the bus on our way to Belize, we were already reminiscing about our time here, and came up with 33 things we love about Mexico…

While we were staying at the beach house, we had many little geckos that were hanging out there with us – including this one, our personal favorite!

The buzz around spring break destinations has begun with internet top ten lists spouting out the usual spring break ‘hotspots’. Some people might prefer the predictable debauchery in places like Cancun, Acapulco or Panama City, but for those looking for warm weather, sunny beaches, cheap beer and, for the young ones out there, a lower drinking age, we have some alternative spring break destinations tips, after spending the past nine months traveling through Mexico and Central America…

My last stop in Mexico was the tiny island of Isla Mujeres with its picture-perfect Caribbean beaches and laid-back vibe. The perfect place for a mini vacation!

I’ve been road tripping all over the Yucatan Peninsula this past week – a trip filled with Mayan ruins, stunning beaches, loads of tacos and crystal clear cenotes!

This Yucatan road trip offers a great taste of Mexico: A mix of Caribbean beaches, Maya ruins, cenotes, jungle, delicious food and authentic Mexican villages.

Isla Mujeres – this little Caribbean island near Cancun is my little Mexican paradise, complete with picture-perfect palm-fringed sandy beaches and crystal clear turquoise water!

We are three days in to a two month housesit on a remote part of the Mexican Riviera Maya. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting in our Notes from the Beach House series to share the highs and lows of one our favorite aspects of long-term travel – Housesitting around the world. Stay tuned!

Our time at the beach house has gotten considerably more intense since our last posting…not least due to a visit from a hurricane called Ernesto.

This weekly series focuses on budget hotel gems we discover while on the road. This week: Posada Ziga in Mazunte, Mexico.
