Mexico City

Mexico City gave me a little bit of everything, food, art, history, rooftop views, and some of the best day trips I’ve done. I put together the full itinerary so you can steal it, remix it, and make it your own.

Puerto Vallarta

I came back to Puerto Vallarta and somehow liked it even more the second time around. We stayed in the super-walkable Romantic Zone, released endangered baby sea turtles, saw bioluminescence at night, hiked through the jungle to a waterfall, gallery-hopped, and ate very well. Fredy’s Tucan became our favorite brunch spot, and that homemade whipped cream had us in a chokehold lol.

Puerto Vallarta

A time was had! Puerto Vallarta showed out. I get why people go back every year. This boys trip was everything, and splitting an Airbnb with an infinity pool three ways for $774 total, about $258 a person for the whole stay? Iconic. I put together the full itinerary so you can recreate the magic. Go have fun and tag me when you do!

Cabo

Cabo was exactly the kind of easy getaway I needed. Ocean views, jet skis, beach time, seeing the Arch from the water, and enough freedom with the rental car to actually explore instead of never leaving the resort.

Cancun

I went to Cancún expecting beach time and somehow ended up riding a camel in Mexico lol. Between that, jet skis, and some actual time to relax, the trip felt way more memorable than just another resort stay.
