Full of artists, expats, and restaurants, San Miguel de Allende has more than enough to keep you busy. It's small enough that it can be navigated by foot, however, the occasional bus or cab may be a good idea as there are some crazy hills with worthwhile views/markets at the top. We stayed with a… Continue reading Sights of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
We have spent the past week here in San Miguel de Allende. This town has its own quirky vibe and the art background of this community is even expressed through the beautiful doorways and knockers found around town. I thought I would share a few of my favorites. There really is not other place in… Continue reading A Doorway Into San Miguel de Allende
Section 1: The Volcano One of our bucket list items is to see the various Wonders of the World. Now we can cross our second Natural Wonder off that list: Volcan Paricutin. This volcano literally sprang up in a field in 1943 and destroyed the two nearby towns. One of which was San Juan Parangaricutiro… Continue reading Volcan Paricutin – Angahuan/Uruapan, Mexico
When we went to Guadalajara I really didn’t know what to expect. Some close family friends are from there originally and after some research I found it to be akin to Austin. Guadalajara is a city full of artists, poets, musicians, skateboarders, and tattoo shops on every corner. I can say without a doubt that… Continue reading Fitting In – Guadalajara, Mexico
I would first like to thank Wildmex for your awesome surfing school. If you guys are in Sayulita, Mexico, definitely hit these guys up if you're looking for an adventure. They are super cool, very laid back, and knowledgeable to boot! We had an amazing time learning how to surf and I would personally like… Continue reading Episode 2 – Surfing in Mexico
Sunday! Sunday! Monday?!? Well, it may have been a weekday with some of the lesser known luchadors in the little beach town of Sayulita, but the fight was sin límite! And, actually, because of those factors the fight was even better than some of massive events in the big cities. The ring was in the… Continue reading Lucha Libre in Sayulita, Mexico
Though I thought that we loved Puerto Vallarta, nothing could prepare me for how refreshing Sayulita Mexico was. While it is quite the touristy surfer town, the pace is so much more relaxed and slow. Not to mention, we aren’t swarmed by the people on the beach asking us to buy something from them. Shaun… Continue reading Wake Up Call in Sayulita Mexico
Arriving in Mexico felt much like the shorter trips we’ve taken. The difference in length of this trek just hasn’t set in. But the relief of finally landing in Puerto Vallarta without a hitch is a welcomed feeling. Like so many other touristy cities, we were harassed by wave after wave of taxi drivers as… Continue reading Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Welcome to our first official video of Over Yonderlust! There will be plenty more to come so keep checking back for updates on the videos or subscribe to our Youtube Channel. Welcome to the video that will change everything here on OYL - Episode 1: Transportation Days
My original plan for today's post was going to be summing up our preparation and last minute details of our current round the world trip (currently 20 hours in!). So you guys know that Shaun and I have issues with being harassed by American law enforcement. During our Burning Man road trip we were harassed… Continue reading Nothing like a bit of Border Patrol to start your RTW
Well, it is official. This is our last Photo Friday of our previous travels before we head out on our trip come Sunday morning. And what better way than to go out with a bang with the beautiful Jolie Ampère Goodnight. Welcome to the wonderful world of sexy burlesque! There are more pictures that can… Continue reading Travel Photography – Fort Worth Burlesque
I think that one of the things that people forget is that New Mexico is more than just a desert. While we were driving through New Mexico during our road trip throughout the Southwest and Western United States, we had to stop and appreciate the beauty and greenery that surrounded us while we drove through… Continue reading Travel Photography – New Mexico
Rain seems to follow Shaun and I no matter what location we visit. We were greeted with rain on our wedding day, the rainiest dry season in 20 years in Barbados, one of the rainiest winters in Madrid, and it rained on us when we were at the Grand Canyon. We had been talking about… Continue reading Travel Photography – The Grand Canyon Rain
One night we were able to experience the playa by art car, brought to you by the Tiki Fkos camp, and I was overtaken by this sight of Burning Man at night. I can't accurately describe what it was like that night. The playa was clear and we had the pleasure of being without a… Continue reading Travel Photography – Burning Man at Night
I really did leave part of my heart in San Francisco. I had heard that it was quite a bit like Austin, and the city did not disappoint. From tap dancing performers on the streets to the sights and smells of a busy city, I could not help but fall in love with such a… Continue reading Travel Photography – San Francisco BART
