Chatty abuelas gossiping the day away on their front porch, pastel-hue colonial houses that carry more history than your average lifeless suburb ever will, and the smell of grilled carnitas coming from some street vendor somewhere in a buzzing malecón: Sooner or later, we will all crave a little bit of Mé-ji-co ourselves. But Mexico …
Candy-colored buildings, cobbled lanes that lead to ancient rock-hewn churches, and the smell of takeout tacos filling the air: to the odd culture buff out there, there’s nothing quite like a weekend getaway in a colonial town in Mexico. Gorgeous as these gems may be, they’re not always the easiest spots to visit. Whether it’s …
Thinking of taking an impromptu winter trip to Mexico, but the likes of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum don’t exactly float your boat? Though it’s often overlooked as a mere cruise stopover with not much more than duty-free shopping and a quick dip on the beach, Cozumel is the perfect island getaway if you’re …
Buenos Aires may be one of the most beautiful cities in South America, with its Haussmann-inspired boulevards à la parisienne, lush urban parks, and unrivaled gastronomy, but let’s face it, it’s sort of yesterday’s news. It’s been covered to death by most major travel publications, and even if you haven’t been to BA yourself, we’re …
We all know (and love) Mexico for its paradisaical Caribbean coast and with world-class resorts with the kind of five-star amenities you’d think would only be reserved for the elites, but lately, we’ve been craving more. Don’t get us wrong, we’re definitely not ones to think we’re too intellectual, and above everyone else to look down …
Broken cobblestones, overhanging wires between candy-colored colonial townhouses, the loud chattering coming from street markets, and the smell of deep-fried arepas filling the air: there’s nothing quite like a Latin American getaway. Unfortunately, it’s not like the best of Latin America is easily accessible for Americans. Yes, you can fly direct to Rio or Mexico City, and gorgeous …
Safety remains a primary concern for Americans going abroad, especially in the current geopolitical climate, where safety warnings are issued with little to no warning, and wars are erupting left, right, and center. It may not exactly be a battlefield at the moment, but Latin America has never been exactly known for being the most …
Los Cabos has always been a hugely popular destination for Americans who crave some winter sunshine and five-star pampering (especially if they’re coming from the West Coast). A convenient long weekend escapade, it is known for its fast-developing resort strip, with landmark properties overlooking golden sands and an azure ocean, and an up-and-coming cultural scene. …
Not Mexico and its world-class beaches and UNESCO-listed Mayan pyramids. Not Argentina, with the Old World charm of Buenos Aires and its distinguished tango houses. Oh, and definitely not Brazil, especially now that Rio’s frail reputation as a moderately-safe destination has been smashed to smithereens. The “next big thing” out of Latin America is a …
Latin America is the talk of the town in digital nomad circles right now: they all crave some of that laid-back-living, less bureaucracy—something every Europe-based expat would appreciate—and perhaps most importantly, the lower cost of living. For anyone feeling let down by the American Dream, the neighboring continent offers a much-needed respite, a chance to …
We all know and appreciate Mexico for its pristine white sands, turquoise seas, and luxurious five-star resorts lining the beachfront, but we love it for the authentic Mexican culture, soulful cuisine, and beautiful architecture. Beyond the glitz and glam of Cancun, there’s an entire country of pueblos yet to be spoiled by gentrification, begging to …
Most tourists know Mexico for its pristine Caribbean coastline, world-class hotels, and ancient Mayan heritage, but as anyone who’s dared to venture beyond the main tourist path will know, that’s only the tip of the iceberg—or should we say pyramid? From the snow-capped hills surrounding Puebla, to the lush valleys of Oaxaca, to the golden-sand …
