Today marks one year since I left Canada on this adventure. I didn’t know what to expect, or how long I would last out in this big, beautiful and daunting world. I have not only survived, but thrived in most instances. On my one year travel anniversary, I want to let everyone know I am …
The longer I am travelling and booking accommodation, the clearer it becomes, just what kind of space works for me. I have had experience with two places now that were set up with the living area being shared by everyone, and only the bedroom and bathroom were private. While this does have its benefits, here …
My time in Mexico has come to an end. I travel to my next destination shortly. I will miss this beautiful country, as I always do when it’s time to leave. The lovely Mexican people I have met along the way have made my time here so special. This post is dedicated to them. Some …
Readers will know of my obsession with doors by now. On my daily walks about town, I also photograph other aspects of homes. Today’s post will showcase the beautiful windows, doors & stairs in PV. Now granted, Puerto Vallarta is a huge city. I have barely scratched the surface of exploring this city on foot. …
One of my favourite things about Puerto Vallarta is the Malecon boardwalk. This beautiful walkway stretches from the Hotel Rosita to just past the Pier at Playa Los Muertos. Starting at the hotel, are a number of amazing sculptures on the Malecon that perfectly showcase the talent in this vibrant city. The Malecon in Puerto …
One of the reasons I love Mexico is the uninhibited use of bright vivid colours everywhere you look. It makes the environment feel lively and jovial and just so darn happy. The amazing murals all around Puerto Vallarta are one of the aspects adding to this city’s beauty. I never tire of walking around and …
I love shopping for food. Period. Whether its from a market, corner store, road side stand, or large grocery supermarket. Everywhere I travel, I always, without fail, visit at least one large grocery store. La Comer in Fluvial, the best grocery in town, is one such large store, not to be missed when visiting Puerto …
The day after I had the unfortunate attempted mugging, I really needed some love. There is a small island in the middle of the Rio Cuale (river Cuale). At the far end, is a park. To get my much needed love session, I decided that playing with cats in the Cuale Island park would be …
We all know how much I love markets. There are no shortage of them in Mexico. If I wanted, I would be able to visit a different one every day of the week! The Three Hens & A Rooster market at the Rio Cuale in Puerto Vallarta takes place on Saturdays through high season. If …
I have been visiting Puerto Vallarta for the last five years. Each time I’m in the city, I take a long stroll out to the Marina. When there, I usually see one of the crocs in the water. However at the Thursday Market this past week, I saw 2 massive crocodiles at the Marina! It …
We all know by now how much I adore markets! I will always try and visit one where ever I travel and usually more than once. 🙂 Puerto Vallarta has several markets, one is the Thursday Night Market in the Marina. The marina market has many of the same vendors as the Lazaro Cardenas Saturday …
Yesterday I walked the complete stretch of coastline in the hotel zone of Puerto Vallarta, from Playa Tranquila to just shy of the Maritime cruise ship terminal. I have posted pictures of Playa Tranquila and Playa Las Glorias. Today I will write about and show photo’s of Playa Los Tules, Holi & de Oro in …

For my daily long walk today, I went and explored two new to me neighbourhoods of Puerto Vallarta. I have wanted to check out the Versalles & Diaz Ordaz hoods of PV for quite a while and today was the perfect time! Firstly the correct spelling is Versalles even though many places use the French …
I went on a long walk this morning and a scary thing happened to me today. I’m okay, but it was unnerving. I was hesitant to post this. Everyone always wants their life to look glamorous and fun, especially while travelling. But life when you travel is just like life at home. Some days are …
Yesterday I wrote a post about this outdoor market and what I found for sale that was unrelated to anything edible. Today I must continue writing about the Tianguis Libramiento, the amazing food and produce that I saw and purchased. I went to this market with the intention of purchasing the produce that I needed …
I’m back in Puerto Vallarta!! From the moment my driver dropped me off, I have felt almost giddy, I’m back in my happy place. 🙂 I am staying in a new to me neighbourhood, not in the tourist area. So far, I can tell you I love it! Today I went to the Tianguis Libramiento …
I took the bus from Sayulita to San Pancho for a day trip. Wow, I was absolutely impressed by this little town. San Pancho, a big slice of paradise that I had been looking for, and have now found. The main bus stop in Sayulita is on Av Revolucion. Inside is a ticket booth where …
Yesterday I wrote a post about the 5 things I loved about Sayulita. Today I write about the top 5 reasons why I didn’t like Sayulita. Believe me, I don’t relish this post. I have never disliked a place enough to write a post, however there are big issues with Sayulita, for me. Issues large …
I have been in Sayulita for three weeks now. After spending considerable time in all of the neighbourhoods, I feel I have a good handle on the town. The 5 things I loved the best about Sayulita are the following. Hands down, this is the best thing about Sayulita for me. Walking South beach in …
