For travelers, there are few things that incite fear into the heart more than the thought of losing your passport.

One of the most memorable months during our travels in 2012 was the month we spent in this lovely little surf-town, in Sayulita, Mexico.

This stunning waterfall, Misol-Ha, is on the way to the equally impressive “Agua Azul’ waterfalls. Although when we visited Agua Azul (Blue Water), the water was murky brown, instead of it’s famous bright turquoise blue colour. Therefore, Misol-Ha wins for the most reliably beautiful waterfall in this area, near Palenque in Chiapas. When we visited, […]

There was, of course, many difficult times and times I wished for nothing more than to be back in Ireland, in the safety and familiarity of my home with family and friends. But those hard times always passed, and overall, […]

The ‘Sol’ was out in Isla Mujeres, when we took the ferry from Cancun to the small island. Literally translated to ‘Womens Island’, it is about 30-45 minutes off the coast of Cancun, Mexico, depending on how cheap your ferry tickets are. This was Playa Norte, and we pretty much had it all to ourselves […]

Search for “Tulum, Mexico” in Google Images and I challenge you to find a photo of the ancient Mayan ruins crowded with people. The reality is that, when you visit the site, or any other world famous tourist attraction, it is almost impossible to look anywhere (unless out on the ocean horizon!) WITHOUT seeing hoards […]

I remember watching the ‘Caves’ episode of Planet Earth in early 2012, where they explore Mexico’s famous cenotes of the Yucatan and never imagining I would get the chance to do it myself one day! Turns out a few months later, there we were chilling in one of the most unique natural attractions in Mexico. […]

This is Pedro. We met him in Tenejapa, a tiny indigenous Tzeltal village in Chiapas, Mexico, when he spotted us during his daily ‘walk’ through the market. He was delighted to see foreign people visiting his town, as not many tourists go there. He then invited us to his house and showed us pictures of […]

Finally! Something (almost) free to do in the Yucatán Peninsula and it’s amazing; swimming with sea turtles! The Yucatán Peninsula is super touristy so finding something to do for free is as likely as me not getting burned without my factor 60 sunscreen! So when we heard it was possible to not only do something […]
