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

During our Burning Man road trip we were harassed… Continue reading Nothing like a bit of Border Patrol to start your RTW

We get asked often what our "travel itinerary" is. For those of you who have been keeping up with our preparations for a while, you know that I'm not the most spontaneous person in the world. I am a Type A personality that has every moment of the day planned and has milestones and goals… Continue reading Our Non-Itinerary (or our Travel Itinerary)
I'm going to be changing things up a bit this week with a Hometown Tourism post - photo essay style. Every year Austin throws a street art festival known as the Balcones Burner Bash in which various graffiti artists gather at the recycling plant. It not only celebrates the artists, but promotes an environmental preservation… Continue reading Balcones Burner Bash 2010
There I am, standing at the dock staring at the distant storm. It’s surreal. The wind will carry it away and open up the smooth sea, I reassure myself. Time slows to a crawl. I contemplate while it waits for my move. It’s not a stalemate, in fact, quite the opposite. The storm isn’t my… Continue reading Departure
