After almost a month in the toasty ocean paradise of Puerto Escondido, it was time for us to move on and sample more of Mexico’s craziness. Having made plans to spend Christmas in the Yucatan with Liivi’s family, the logical next stopoff was the city of Oaxaca, which lies roughly halfway between Puerto and Cancun. […]
Located on Mexico’s southern Pacific coast in the state of Oaxaca, Puerto Escondido is a beach bum’s dream. With warm waters, good surfing for both beginners and pros, and glorious golden beaches, we simply could not resist sampling these laid-back, hippy-esque vibes after the chaos of Mexico City.

There was rain in the air, and we were very excited. We checked in at the Flagstaff KOA and began to re-acquaint ourselves with long forgotten […]
Having sampled the earthly delights of the Grand Canyon, we were taking a cheeky wee 200 mile detour to check out some of the visual goodies that the humble town of Page, Arizona, had to offer.
