There are many tactics to finding safe places to stay when travelling. Some more obvious than others. 😉
Backpack vs Rolling luggage
Which is better? A big travel backpack or the traditional rolling suitcase?
It depends on your personal preference, strength, and traveling lifestyle. I personally prefer rolling luggage.
Mexico – quick travel guide
Fun colorful country with nice people, easy tourism and adventures to explore, and with extremely diverse terrain.
Mexico is still a vastly underrated place because most people THINK they know Mexico. When in fact most people only know beach Mexico…but there is also jungle Mexico, mountain Mexico, island Mexico, and city Mexico.
I’ve explored mostly everything from Mexico City to Playa Del Carmen, a few other cities. See the list below. I came to Mexico thinking I’d only be there a month but ended up staying for 8, often returning to the same places multiple times. Basically…I felt like I was living there.
Most tourists come for a weekend or weeklong beach getaway. Most backpackers come for a month. But really, you could easily spend 3-6 months in Mexico and still not see everything everything. Mexico is an absolutely huge country which so much diversity in landscapes, terrain, culture, food, and activities.

I swear this happens to everyone at some point in Mexico.
And me being not-special, it happened to my ass too. Here are tips to deal with it intelligently!
Playa Del Carmen – quick travel guide
Mexico’s “best” beach party city with lots of adventures and proximity to other incredible destinations.
I was there for 3-4 months in 2021. Some people love it (most people just wanting to have general fun and party). Some hate it (the ones who prefer a more spiritual vibe like Tulum).
Playa is good for 3 things:
- Central homebase to other towns, good infrastructure for remote working or just living in Mexico.
- Good partying, clubs, bars.
- Can still relax if you stay off the crowded touristy streets.
