Exploring life's off-the-beaten-path options.
Playa del Carmen really surprised me. I stopped here because it is the closest town to Xcaret. My initial plan was to arrive late to Playa del Carmen, visit Xcaret the entire following day and then move on to Tulum. But, I was faced with a grave problem. I just liked Playa del Carmen too [...]

I know, I know. I have been having too much fun and haven’t invested a lot of time writing for my precious blog (and you, my dear readers). See last week (and Monday), I was having a blast in Cancun and the Riviera Maya. At the end of each day, I felt exhausted. It is difficult [...]
