Quick stop in Barcelona 🇪🇸
3 januari 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
My first stop was Barcelona for 3 days to catch my direct flight to Mexico City!

Day 1: I landed early so had all day to explore. I checked in at my hostel ( St Christopher’s) then went to explore la boqueria market, the cathedral and gothic quarter, la ramblas and the harbour! That evening I managed to find a Christmas market and had an amazing chocolate pancake and listened to some live music!

Day 2: On the second day I walked to La Sagrada Familia which was beautiful, even with all the scaffolding, and then made my way to Park Quell. The park was really nice to explore, especially with the weather being so nice… I wasn’t even put off by the men popping out of bushes trying to sell bottles is water and bracelets! I ended the day with a sangria and patatas bravas and prepared for my long flight the next day!

Day 3: Time for the airport!Läs mer

Arriving in Mexico City 🇲🇽
5 januari 2022, Mexico ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Hostel - Casa Pepe

Mexico City. What a place! The day after I arrived I booked on the Xochimilco tour and got drunk on the boat with some amazing people while we listened to the mariachi band play! We ate traditional food and drank traditional beers, tequila and mezcal… the perfect first full day in Mexico!

I loved exploring the Historic centre where you can get amazingly cheap street food and walk around the ruins and cathedral (which is sinking btw) and then having drinks in the more trendy town of Roma with people from the hostel (one of which wanted to get us killed in a dodgy garage).Läs mer

Teotihuacan from above 🇲🇽
7 januari 2022, Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C
Got picked up at 5am from the hostel so we could make it in time for sunrise! There were 2 Colombian couples on my balloon ride so we all roasted marshmallows and watched as our balloon inflated. The ride was amazingly peaceful and the views were surreal!
We were in the air for about an hour circling the pyramids before landing on the back of a truck and holding on for deal life as we rode back into town!
The tour then took us for tequila tasting (at 10am) and for some traditional Chilaquiles for breakfast! Then we were able to walk around and explore the pyramids which was really interesting!Läs mer

Hostel - Casa Pepe

Puebla is such a beautiful little town! The streets are colourful and full of murals and historic buildings and the main square is full or bars and restaurants! I did the free walking tour around the cathedral, library and many popular traditional shops and markets! I also visited the nearby town of Cholula with some guys from the hostel and we hiked to the viewpoint where I saw my first volcano!Läs mer

Hostel - Casa Angel

Oaxaca. In my opinion one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico! The centre of town is covered in colourful flags, artwork and markets!
Once again I took part in the free walking tour where we were shown the best and cheapest places to get empanadas and tacos! They also took us through the smoking market where all the locals were preparing their stalls… one of while sold bugs. I tried a cricket. It was disgusting. HOWEVER I’m very glad I tried! The viewpoint was impressive, although I think the hike up was more beautiful than the actual view from the top!
On the way back down I witnessed a traditional Mexican wedding festival where the families and friends all wear traditional clothing and dance through the street! It was incredible!Läs mer

Puerto Escondido 🇲🇽
16 januari 2022, Mexico ⋅ 🌙 26 °C
Hostel - Selina & Arcoiris

Day 1: I arrived early after a very long night bus. I couldn’t check in right away so headed to the beach right outside! I grabbed some food and met Sarah, a girl from NYC and we planned to meet up with lil Bettina who I met in Mexico City (Hola Chica 👋) and some other girls that she’d met a few days before! We had drinks on La Punta beach and watched my first proper Mexican sunset 😍

Day 2: Me and Sarah met back up and caught a collectivo on the main road to Playa Bococho! We then clambered over the rocks to Playa Coral where we spend the rest of the day sunbathing and swimming! That night we met back up with the Puerto Crew and went to Selina karaoke where we sang BoRap!

Day 3: Witnessed possibly my favourite sunset ever on top of the cliff/lighthouse today! Then we headed for food at fish shack (where I had chicken 👍🏼) and then had drinks and played games at one of the local hostels in la punta!

Day 4: Released baby turtles at Playa Bococho today with the 2 Dutch girls! Amazing experience… until the seagulls came 👀 My little Shelly managed to make it all the way into the ocean though so good luck to her!

Day 5: The day the boat sank. As if getting sea sick on the boat party wasn’t bad enough… one of the boats got so overcrowded it literally tipped over with everyone’s stuff on it and sank! Our captain drove off and left everyone stranded so god knows how that story ended!

Day 6: Moved into my new hotel today with Sarah, Monica and Trung and the view was incredible! In the evening we went for drinks, ended up at a beach rave where the cartel took my heart burn tablets, we got free tequila shots, me and Betty got tattoos and she stole the cartels pizza… so very successful night 👌🏼

Day 7: Woke up with a tattoo. Me, Betty, Monica and Sarah went for breakfast which turned into cocktails and then I went horseback riding, which was absolutely amazing! Then we headed out to a beach BBQ where we got small hands to steal us free pasta.

Day 8: Final day in Puerto was a chilled pool day and tacos at the beach before catching my night bus to San Cristobal!🥲

San Cristobal was a really nice town in Chiapas state. The town was colourful with lots of markets and street art! The church in the centre of town had an amazing view and there was so much to see and do! I also took a trip to Sumidero Canyon where we first went to the view point to see the canyon below before getting on a boat to cruise around the canyon where we sew crocodiles, monkeys and hundreds of different birds!Läs mer

Palenque & Ruins 🇲🇽
28 januari 2022, Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
The ruins in Palenque are some of the most impressive I’ve seen! You don’t need a guide and can go off and explore yourself, learning the history and exploring the different areas! Palenque itself didn’t have an awful lot to do but the ruins made it worth the visit!Läs mer

Bacalar 🇲🇽
31 januari 2022, Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Hostel - Che

The journey to Bacalar was a rough one! I finally arrived at 5am after having no sleep on the bus and went to the hostel. I was unable to check in because of the time so they kindly let me lie down on the freezing outdoor sofa and listen to cockerels for the next few hours! Betty arrived in the afternoon and we decided to go on a boat party where we got taught how to twerk and drank too many shots!
The next morning we decided to get up for sunrise which was beautiful.. and then we walked to an area where we could hang out by the lagoon for the day with another girl from our hostel! The lagoon was so many different shades of blue, it was unreal! We spent the rest of our time in Bacalar cooking pasta, feeding the stray dogs and walking around town!Läs mer
