After climbing the volcanoes of central Mexico, we had to rush a bit to make it out to the Yucatan as Nikki’s parents were flying into Cancun to spend a few days with us. Still, we did want to at least get a glimpse of Oaxaca and the surrounding mountains, but a more thorough visit […]
What Jakob and I have really come to realize is that the people we meet in Mexico are a huge contributor to why we love this country. So far, both the locals and travelers have been warm, friendly, welcoming, friendly, interesting, friendly and genuinely kind. With that said, we also understand that we’ve been in […]
Guanajuato was one of our favorite cities in Mexico! The town is built in a ravine so while it’s not very conducive to driving, we had a wonderful time walking around the city. We stayed at a campground in the city (the only one) which was on a grassy terrace, with an incredibly view overlooking […]
Nevado de Colima is a high peak, 4,350m high which can be either a non-technical walk or technical climb. The hike has views of the neighboring active volcano and you can often see steam / smoke coming from it, we even heard some interesting grumbling. You can also have views of the Pacific Ocean, if […]

Crossing the border was a non-event. It is very well documented and honestly, no one seemed to really care about people crossing into Mexico. We drove through the checkpoint and were asked to pull over for an ‘inspection’ which is standard for RV’s and vans. They opened two drawers and told us to continue. A few hundred […]
Meant to post this on Monday, but we had no electricity or phone service: So this just happened. We’re currently on our way south through Baja and arrived in La Paz yesterday afternoon. We heard about a hurricane from some other campers so we asked the locals how safe the local beach would be during […]
