After a couple of days spent relaxing on the gorgeous beaches of Isla Mujeres (see above, yep, really that good) it’s time to move onto Mexico city. I won’t lie, I’m mildly apprehensive about this since everyone I’ve spoken to seems to think that visiting the city is a) dangerous and b) something to be avoided. It’s also […]
Read more "Bye bye beach, hola Cuidad de Mexico"One night in Cancun, a four hour bus journey to Chiquilá (watching badly dubbed Spanish films) and a short ferry ride later and I’ve landed in Isla Holbox.

Read more "Day tripping at the Mayan Ruins"I’ve officially arrived in heaven, or at least that’s what it seems like. After a three-day yoga retreat involving 6AM wake up calls and paddle boarding in the mangroves my muscles have been worked to the point of surrender and I’m ready to resume a horizontal position. Sold as an unspoilt eco-chic beach destination a […]
