    A Visit to the Magical City of Merida – the Safest City in Mexico

    January 25, 2024 - By megsperience

    The magical city of Merida has been on my bucket list for ages. So when my husband decided to run a half marathon there, I said, “Let’s go!”. In this post I’ll outline some of the best things to do in Merida as well as where to eat and stay.  A few of the fascinating tid bits about Merida include that it is the safest city in Mexico, it’s original name in Mayan is T’ho, and it’s been heavily influenced and impacted by colonialism throughout history. You’ll see this in everything from the architecture to the food. For example, the…

    A Tequila Tour and Tlaquepaque on a Trip to Guadalajara

    January 8, 2024 - By megsperience

    Guadalajara is a large city in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, and another popular expat hub. We went to Guadalajara because my husband and close friend ran the Guadalajara half marathon, and it was such a fun trip. However, we didn’t really spend almost any time in Guadalajara itself, but rather, used it as a base to do a Tequila tour and visit Tlaquepaque, a Pueblo Magico nearby. Guadalajara is a great base to visit these two amazing destinations. A Day in Tlaquepaque On the Saturday before race day, we decided to go to Tlaquepaque. This little Pueblo Magico is…

    Guide to a Weekend in La Paz, Baja California Sur

    January 5, 2024 - By megsperience

    La Paz, Baja California Sur is one of the lesser known towns in Baja California Sur in comparison to Cabos, or even Todos Santos these days. We chose to spend a weekend in La Paz to explore the area, and it was a great choice. While the town doesn’t have a ton to offer, it’s quiet and close to the main attractions – which are mainly outdoor adventures. Baja California is one of my absolute favorite places in Mexico, and somewhere I see myself going back to and exploring again and again. It also happens to be where my husband…

    A Christmas Weekend in Puebla, Mexico

    December 29, 2023 - By megsperience

    For the past two years, my husband and I have debated what to do for Christmas. He cannot go to the U.S. because we are waiting for his green card, and the flights to Colombia around Christmas are expensive. So last year, we spent the weekend in San Miguel de Allende – see the post A Weekend in San Miguel de Allende – and this year, we decided to spent Christmas weekend in Puebla, Mexico. Only about two and a half hours by car or bus from Mexico City, Puebla is a large city that feels like a town. The…

    Best Restaurants in San Cristobal de las Casas

    December 26, 2023 - By megsperience

    You can always thank my husband for finding places to eat on our trips. He is usually responsible for making Google Maps lists for everything from restaurants to cafes to cultural sites. Here are a few restaurants in San Cristobal de las Casas to try based on where we ate, and a few that are on our list. For more on San Cristobal de las Casas, check out my related posts: Esquina San Augustin Esquina San Augustin isn’t a restaurant, but rather a high-end food court in San Cristobal de las Casas.

    A Perfect Weekend in Antigua, Guatemala

    December 3, 2023 - By megsperience

    Life took us on a weekend trip to Antigua, Guatemala by chance. We went there because it had the fastest processing times for my husband’s Mexican visa. We spent one day in Guatemala City, and then we spent a weekend in Antigua for fun. Most people skip Guatemala City and go directly to Antigua and Lake Atitlan. We only had time for one this trip, so we chose Antigua. However, we are heading back to see Lake Atitlan in March 2024!

    A Weekend in San Miguel de Allende

    December 2, 2023 - By megsperience

    San Miguel de Allende is a popular trip from Mexico City. You can make it a day trip, but I’d recommend spending at least one night or a weekend in San Miguel de Allende because it’s a long drive – about 4-5 hours from CDMX. This popular tourist destination is one of many Pueblos Mágicos (Magic Towns) in Mexico. The main attraction is La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel in the main square, and even just walking around is beautiful. Last year, we spent Christmas there, and it was beautifully decorated and festive. The perfect weekend getaway. How to get…
