Things people don’t like to talk about…

So, I learned on Tuesday that an American biker and his recent Mexican wife, Donnie and Modesta, died the day before in a motorcycle crash in Honduras. I didn’t know them personally, but had recently been in touch. Donnie, 62, was a long-time and experienced biker and had crossed North America, Mexico, and Central America […]

Days 150 – 158: Home for the Holidays

We spent all of Wednesday in our apartment and then on Thursday evening, we flew back to Vancouver to spend the holidays at home with the family. Our first day back happened to be my brother’s birthday so we had some decadent chocolate cake, rested up, and took care of some mundane, but necessary tasks. […]

Days 145 – 149: Swimming with the Fishies in Tulum

After a couple of days of doing nothing spectacular, we decided to do a day trip to Tulum on Tuesday, December 19. It is under an hour’s ride away from Playa del Carmen and is comprised of three areas: the ruins, the city, and the beach. We started our day with a visit to the ruins […]

Happy 2018!

We would like to wish our readers a very happy new year! 2017 had many challenges, but also many wonderful moments. The important thing is to take the good with you and learn from the bad to make the new year better. Be kind, tolerant, curious, and don’t be afraid to live the life of […]

Day 144: The Pink Lakes of Las Coloradas

We decided to do a day trip to Las Coloradas on Thursday since we still wanted to see some pink lakes despite the Laguna Rosada fail a couple of weeks earlier. So we rode for about 3.5 hours and, lo and behold, we found the pink lakes! It wasn’t as bright of a pink that […]

Days 140 – 143: Cancún to Playa del Carmen and More Beachy Vibes

On December 10, we rode for a little over an hour from Cancún to Playa del Carmen where we rented a apartment for a month at 27,898 MXN (~1,783 CAD). Playa del Carmen is another tourist-infested beach city with not much else aside from beaches, spas, and shopping. As a result, we didn’t do much for […]

A Very Merry Christmas to All!

Jingle jingle, Santa’s here! We have taken a few days to recharge our batteries back home in Vancouver and just wanted to wish all our readers a very merry Christmas. May the spirit of the season bring much happiness and good times your way today and throughout the year. Don’t forget to spread the cheer!

Composing while traveling: “Kukulcan”

As you may know, I got a new music keyboard while in Mexico City – I was missing composing too much – and so I decided to compose music for our videos. Most of the time, I create the music before the video even exists, and then I do adaptations for the soundtrack when Sapna […]

Days 133 – 139: Mérida to Cancún and a Week in Mexico’s Ultimate Beach City

On Sunday, we rode for a little over three hours from Mérida to Cancún where we rented an apartment for a week at 5,900 MXN (~397 CAD). With its palm tree-lined streets, pristine white beaches, and turquoise-blue waters, it is easy to see why so many people visit this beautiful beach city. Last year alone, the […]
