I was thinking today on my morning walk, it has almost been four months since I left home and began this journey. That started me wondering about what I have used the most, or found the most useful thus far. My 5 best Amazon travel finds so far are a backpack, packing cubes, travel wrist …
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 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 …
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 …
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 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 …

How can I not make a post about the most elemental part of Sayulita? The biggest reason visitors used to flock to this little town was for surfing. Walking around the streets, visible signs of the surfing vibe are everywhere. I have compiled a post of my best photo’s of a surfing town. Besides actually …
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. The route I took was from the beach in Sayulita. I have since read however that this is not the most recommended route …
Ok I know this might be a weird topic for a post, but my shoes have gotten trashed here! If you are coming for a visit, you might like to see the ground under your feet. It might just save a good pair of shoes from being destroyed. This is what your shoes will step …
