Yucatan 2019

Remember when I went to the Yucatan? Me neither. The past several months have been a big blur, but here are some photos from my trip.

Mexico remains as photogenic as ever - I will never stop loving intricate doors against colourful walls.

Swimming in cenotes was a highlight of the trip, though their spectacularness was difficult to capture in photograph. Visiting the ruins of Mayapan was fabulous due to the lack of crowds. Fun fact: I desecrated the ruins by throwing up on the grounds. Good times.

Sneak Peak: Yucatan

It's been a weird couple of weeks. Merida was crazy hot. More to come.

Oaxaca + Puebla 2018

I spent the second week of my Mexico trip in Oaxaca and Puebla.

As a lover of tiles and intricate doors against colourful walls, the two cities and surrounding areas were a photography haven.

I caught the end of the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations: Oaxaca was dotted with ofrendas and the cemeteries were still overflowing with flowers.

Mexico City 2018

It's been two months and I'm still thinking about my trip to Mexico. It was full of surprises and adventures, and I took so many photos that I need to split them into two posts.

I spent my first week in Mexico City; I could have honestly stayed another week because there was so much to see, do and eat. I coincided my trip with Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and the festivities were underway. Marigolds were sold everywhere, especially at the markets, because they are believed to guide the souls of the dead to the ofrendas (altars) lovingly decorated by family members.

Did you know that Mexico City has more than 150 museums? I visited two during my stay, barely put a dent in it. I missed some must-sees due to ill-timing on my part, but my favourite way to explore the city was to wander.

Sneak Peak: Mexico

I've been itching to visit Mexico for ages and I finally made it happen this year. I had such an amazing time that I wonder why more people don't visit (all-inclusive resorts not included).

Unfortunately I succumbed to a really bad cold near the end of my trip and I'm still recovering from it. Photographic evidence of my adventures to come.
