Puebla was always on my list as a place to visit in Mexico, but the charming colonial city always seemed to elude me until recently. And already since my first visit, I’ve returned. On my stays, I spent nights in multiple hotels across the center city and the outskirts, but on my next visit, I’ll […]

Podcast Episode 02: Traveling the State of Yucatan, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on April 20, 2015 in Mexico Travel, Podcast Show Notes
The Yucatan is more than Cancun and the Riviera Maya. In fact these Mexican tourist destinations are not even located in the state of Yucatan itself (but on the Yucatan Peninsula). Actually, the state of Yucatan, one of the 31 states of Mexico holds much different treasures and it was definitely a place I wanted […]
