Valle De Guadalupe remains one of our favorite travel destinations. We’ve come here over the past 5 years, and it truly gets better every time (check out our past blog posts here). But what’s most shocking to us is just how many of our friends in Los Angeles have never…
We’ve reached the end of our 5 day trip in Mexico City. And this year we came prepared for New Year’s Day — a day that nearly everything is shut down. And if you’re going for New Year’s Eve, I recommend you read my top 10 ideas for celebrating New…
