Thanks for coming back! If you liked this post, you may want to sign up for my weekly blog roundup. Thanks for visiting and continuing the conversation! There’s a part of me that’s always been curious about Native American rituals, dating back to when I spent part of my junior year of college...

I spent last weekend at the Hacienda Tres Rios, one of the many all-inclusive beach resorts on the Riviera Maya that line Mexico’s Caribbean coast, from Cancun south toward Tulum. One of the biggest travel questions I get from friends is whether or not they should choose an all-inclusive resort...

I traveled to Mexico this past weekend, as a guest of Hacienda Tres Rios, an award-winning, eco-oriented all-inclusive resort north of Playa del Carmen. The trip marked my first time back on the Riviera Maya (the stretch of resorts running south of Cancun toward Tulum) since last year’s swine...

I really loved this region of Mexico, Guanajuato in particular. I would love to go back and study Spanish...

My recent trip to Mexico encompassed several towns that are known for their religious fervor, including San Juan de los Lagos and Atotonilco.

The following is a guest post, written by fellow SATW member Amy Weirick. The day that I went to Tequila, she visited a traditional Huichol temazcal, or sweat lodge, located outside Guadalajara. I asked her to write something about the experience – especially after our group discovered that two people...
