What to-Know Before You .Travel to-Mexico

Into mexico

Everything we said about our transition last year is easily repeated this time around – nothing quite sparks the spirit like the brilliant colours of Latin America after living through several months with only shades of white and grey. We were soon pleasantly relieved of our itchy and parched winter skin with the absorption of natural warmth and humidity, and relished in turning our toes to the sun, free from the binds of thick socks and boots.

We never explored the night streets, never saw families congregate in plazas to visit and listen to local music. Never tasted a menu del dia with authentic cuisine for just a few dollars, and we failed to discover our favourite new treat of mangoes with chili powder. (And within the first few days we realized: Mexico has the best food of all Latin American countries we’ve visited.)

And there’s something gently soothing to us about being in Latin American culture. Easing into the slower pace, witnessing the unadulterated way that affection is publicly shared between lovers, or parents with their children. It feels so natural for us to be there, heart-warming and soul-nourishing. And slipping back into Spanish is always a fun challenge (even if embarrassing at first).
