Four Year Nomadiversary
Our 4 year Nomadiversary is significant because it marks the end of full time travel for us, but certainly not the end of travel. Click below to watch 4 years of our travel highlights: Our boys were 8 and 6 years old when we left […]
The End of Our Mexico Adventure: Cancun
We left Merida, and took the ADO Bus to the city center of Cancun, about a 4 and a half hour journey. It was pouring rain when we arrived, and my husband, now well practiced at negotiation, bargained a taxi ride to our hotel. Although […]
Connecting with Family & Friends in Merida
Spending time in the capital city of the Yucatan, Merida, was not even on our radar, until our traveling friends brought our attention to a Worldschooling Gathering taking place there in April. We were very excited about the opportunity to spend time with our friends […]
The Mayan Ruins of Ek’Balam, Mexico
We used the charming city of Valladolid as a base when visiting the ruins of Ek’Balam. The ruins site was only about a half hour drive away from the city center. There didn’t seem to be an easy way to catch a Collectivo, so we […]

Reunion in Playa Del Carmen and Xpu-Ha, Mexico
A few days after arriving in Playa Del Carmen, we had a reunion with friends that we had met in San Diego at an RV Rally. Their family joined us for a long weekend in Playa Del Carmen, before we would reunite again in Merida the following […]
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: Yucatan, Mexico
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles were all necessary to get us to Mexico. Once we arrived it became more like Rickshaws, Colectivos, and Motocars. But I’ll get into that a little later… After spending our life savings on airport food, we stocked up for our almost 5 hour flight from LAX to […]
Day Trip to Baja California, Mexico
While staying in San Diego, we met up with cousins that live just south of San Diego. A few of their family members also lived across the border in Mexico. Together, we decided to take a day trip into Baja California, including Tijuana and Rosarito, […]
