Myth Busting: Traveling in Mexico Edition! 🇲🇽

Thinking about visiting Mexico but not sure what to expect? Let’s bust some myths and uncover the truth about traveling in this vibrant and diverse country!

💡 Myth #1: Mexico is just beaches and margaritas.
Sure, Mexico has some of the most stunning beaches in the world (hello, Cancún and Tulum), but it’s also a treasure trove of history, culture, and adventure. Explore ancient Mayan ruins like Chichén Itzá, wander through colorful colonial towns like San Miguel de Allende, or hike the breathtaking Copper Canyon.

💡 Myth #2: You can only drink bottled water.
While it’s true tap water in Mexico isn’t always safe for drinking, many restaurants and hotels offer purified water. Bonus tip: If you’re unsure, stick to beverages like coffee, tea, and soda—they’re made with boiled or bottled water. And yes, the ice in your cocktails is usually purified too (so enjoy that margarita guilt-free)!

💡 Myth #3: It’s not safe to travel to Mexico.
Like any destination, safety depends on where you go and how you travel. Popular tourist destinations like Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta, and Mexico City are welcoming and safe for visitors. Use common sense, avoid risky areas, and follow local advice for a worry-free trip!

💡 Did You Know?
• Mexico has more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country in the Americas—35 and counting!
• The country’s food scene is way more than tacos and tequila (though I love both). Try mole, pozole, or a slice of tres leches cake.
• Day of the Dead (Día de los Mu***os) isn’t Mexico’s version of Halloween—it’s a vibrant celebration of life and honoring loved ones who’ve passed.

Mexico is full of surprises, so don’t let myths stop you from experiencing its magic. Ready to plan your adventure? Drop me a message, and let’s get started! ✈️

Girls weekend in DC!

This past weekend I went to DC with some friends! There’s nothing like a girls weekend to recharge and have fun with your friends in a big city! It was a whirlwind weekend filled with delicious food, vibrant nightlife and the Dopamine Land Experience, an interactive experience that’s as colorful and fun as it sounds!

We started with brunch at the Vue- a restaurant and bar atop Hotel Washington with stunning views of the city. For dinner, we indulged at D’Leña, a delicious Mexican restaurant with a hidden speakeasy- you have to ask them how to access it! They had live music and it was a really cool vibe. The food was amazing too!

Then we headed to the Residence Cafe and Bar which had some great music and themed decor. It was really cute and fun! Best part is there was seating so you could enjoy relaxing with your drinks. 🍹

Dopamine Land was our daytime activity and it’s a must do! There’s plenty of entertainment and it was really fun to experience the different rooms and interactive experiences. From immersive light rooms to interactive installations, it’s the perfect place to take all the photos and videos (and laugh way too much 😂).

Weekend trips like these are proof that you don’t need a long trip to rejuvenate your spirit. Whether it’s exploring a new city, having a staycation close to home and trying new cuisine and vibrant nightlife spots, or just laughing with your friends, you can create memories that last a lifetime! DC is such a fun city- every time I go there there’s a new experience to be had. I don’t think I’ve eaten at the same restaurants twice!
