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 …

I went on a long walk this morning and a scary thing happened to me today. Iβm 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 …

Today I went exploring! And what did I find? Playa Malpaso, the most pristine beach near Sayulita. And when I say pristine, I mean exactly that, it was extraordinary in every way.
