I still can't seem to stop gushing about all the wonderfulness that is Curaçao. Truth be told, I never really thought much about it - I knew it was an island in the Caribbean and part of Netherland Antilles, but aside from that, it was a pretty blank spot in my map. I'm so glad I went, though. Whenever a friend asks me what Curaçao is like, I always reply by saying "imag[...]
Curaçao was never on my radar. I've heard about it, but in general, I never really considered visiting, mostly due to the fact that I knew barely anything about it other than the fact that it's a Dutch colony in the Caribbean.

A perfect two-week Yucatan Pe[...]

Holbox Island used to be one of the biggest hidden gems in Mexico and the Yucatan Peninsula, but it has gained a lot of popularity because, well... it's a truly amazing destination!

It's impossible to describe Havana using only a few words. Beyond its gritty facade, you'll stumble across a wonderland of sounds and a riot of colors that will make you feel as though you've traveled back in time. Earlier this year while traveling through the Mexican Caribbean, I decided to take the plunge and book a flight to the Cuban capital. Visiting Havana is som[...]
August has been filled with some pretty kick-ass activities all over the ever-alluring Yucatan Peninsula, and one of my favorites by far has been getting to visit many of the best cenotes in Valladolid, a stunning colonial town lined by quaint and colorful buildings that sits just a short bus ride away from Tulum. The Best Cenotes in Valladolid What are cenotes?[...]
