This post is brought to you by our friends Eric and Shauna... again - as we were not in Cuba during the two weeks that our friends were. 🙂 We stepped into the Necropolis Cristóbal Colón after having the suggestion thrown our way by our casa particular host Rosie, along with every other guide book… Continue reading Hanging Out in Necropolises can be Cool in Havana, Cuba
For the last two weeks of June we were completely off the grid. No phones, no internet, no access to ATMs, nothing. We were so incredibly bored that we don't even want to talk about what happened. Instead, we want to share a post from our friends Eric and Shauna who coincidentally spent those same… Continue reading Havana, Cuba – The Place We Didn’t Go
We have finally left Mexico and to sum it up in a video just doesn't do our experiences justice. Regardless, I compiled all 11 weeks of footage into a video that I'm terribly in love with. This is probably my most favorite video to date and I hope that you will enjoy it as much… Continue reading Episode 7 – Momentos: Mexico
Nestled between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, this little jewel (whose name means “place of the turtles” in Mayan) is just a short colectivo ride from either city. Overpower a small child, take their snorkel gear, and head to Akumal, Mexico - one of the best day trips we’ve taken thus far. Once you’ve acquired… Continue reading Akumal, Mexico – Day Trip Awesomeness
If you have been reading this blog for a while, you know that I, Erica, am a huge wuss with a giant list of fears. Jaime from Breakaway Backpacker got annoyed at me a few times as I refused to dive into a lake in Flores, Guatemala (fear of drowning and I can't hold my… Continue reading Cenote Azul – The Start of My Love for Cenotes
There isn't really a better way to describe our initial experiences in Playa del Carmen other than saying we got off to a rocky start on the wrong foot after getting up on the wrong side of the bed. We wandered from the colectivo stop to the crowded hostel we were going to spend the… Continue reading Playa del Carmen vs. Over Yonderlust
No matter how boring or amazing a location is, your experience can always be affected one way or another by the company you keep. In the case of Tulum, Mexico, a beautiful landscape + awesome people = an unforgettable time. When visiting Tulum, you have a few options as to where you stay. First, there… Continue reading Tulum, Mexico – Not Just Another City for Ruins
It had been 7 years since the last time Shaun and I went snorkeling. We were looking forward to trying it out again since the last time we tried on our honeymoon in Barbados we nearly drowned (long story)... so when we got to Belize I was a bit concerned. I can say without a… Continue reading Episode 6 – Snorkeling Belize
We are currently still unplugged in our super secret location! 😀 If you can give us some link sharing love, it would be much appreciated as we should be back in contact on the 28th of June. But in the mean time, we will bring you a bit of Belize to get you through your… Continue reading Episode 5 – Momentos: Belize
Lets face it, travel can be really hard. With so many places to see and constant stress on our bank accounts and calendars, sometimes you need to stop and do absolutely nothing. Caye Caulker, Belize is the perfect place for nothing. This tiny island made the perfect recharge zone for us after running around Mexico… Continue reading Belize – Don’t Stress, Do Nothing
While the outside of the cathedral can be quite deceiving, I was blown away by the light that entered this holy place. For .00000005 seconds I thought about how cool it would be to be a Catholic. The wall in Santo Domingo Cathedral is just stunning.
We finally left Mexico (temporarily) and it took a trip to another world to make it happen. The trip from Palenque, Mexico to Flores, Guatemala resulted in a number of ‘firsts’ for us. We took our first water taxi, crossed into our first Central American country, stayed on our first lake island, and took our… Continue reading The Ruins of Tikal – Our Expedition on Yavin 4
Over the next two weeks (we will be internet-less for the next two for those who are savvy on what is going on) we will be posting a few of our videos while gone. If you could give us some comment love on what you would like to see in the future with our episodes,… Continue reading Episode 4 – Misol Ha and Agua Azul
Palenque, Mexico (Chiapas, Mexico) during the summer is hotter than two rats making love in a wool sock. It is advisable to stay far, far away during April and May as they are the hottest months. Being budget travelers, we stayed in a 3 person private room (since we were still traveling with Jaime from… Continue reading Slowly Melting Away in Palenque, Mexico
There are a few ‘when in Rome’ moments you need to partake in when you travel and chocolate in Oaxaca is one of them. Even you chocolate-is-okay-but-I’d-rather-consume-other-foodstuffs people will appreciate it. Sure, chocolate is delicious but think about the fact that you are also partaking in the preservation of an old Aztec recipe. They used… Continue reading Chocolate Should Be a Food Group – Oaxaca, Mexico
