Mexico

Somewhere in San Miguel at night

Mexico flag,MexicoLet’s face it, Mexico is one of the most widely known and well-traveled places in the world. Whether visiting beaches: Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas; Culture: Mexico City, Chichen Itza, Oaxaca, Guanajuato City; Magical Cities (Pueblos Magicos): Bernal, Parras, Dolores Hidalgo; Or big cities, Guadalajara, Puebla, Monterey, Mexico has it all.

Personally, I have been to Mexico over 30 times. I cannot recommend the country highly enough. Its beaches, history, ruins, food, culture, people and architecture are all some of my absolute favorites. It is why I retun year after year, whether on assignment or not.

Travel in Place: The “Sonoran Dawg”

I haven't experienced the taste of a Sonoran hot dog since my first baby-steps into international travel -- a hot dog elevated to a culinary experience. That was in the early 80's, but in all these years since I've yet to find a match. Since travel and food are so...

Imágenes de Merida (Mayan Capital)

  Centuries-old conquistadores' colonial architecture of Merida.   Some kind of indigenous-inspired mural. Like the feral redheaded kid in Talladega Nights said of anarchy when he went buck-wild on the neighbor with the garden hose, "I don't know what it...
