Celebrating 10+ years of #DoTheDaniel
Remember those days when mobile phones were not part of our lives? We used to buy cameras to capture special moments and wait for days to see them. I can’t even think of how many times my palms sweat when calling my crush in turn, fearing for her dad to pick up the phone! I’m proud to say I come from a generation that actually knew how to read maps (printed maps) when traveling, and food, food was meant to be eaten, not “grammed.” Continue reading “Don’t Fear Change”

In its warm deep blue waters, I learned to swim and embrace the sea as my second home. So it only makes sense that 3 years ago I moved from Mexico City to the sunny Playa del Carmen, one of the most beautiful places of the Mexican Caribbean where I can go to the beach at least once a week… cool right?

Pero no todo es miel sobre hojuelas; vivir en un destino internacional implica que el costo de vida o de las opciones para divertirse suelen ser más elevados que en otras ciudades, por lo que salir a divertirse puede resultar complicado para los locales… a menos, claro, que aprendas a turistear como local.
