Forever the one that will choose the longer road. It was beautiful to read about your time in places that are quite unknown to many in Mexico, even us Mexicans. And it's really those interactions with people you come across that become so meaningful and expansive. It was beautiful to feel right there in those moments with you, what a blissful writing you have!
thanks so much Champi, that means a lot coming from a Mexican! I have found the interactions with people to be a highlight of my time here, partly because of being able to practice Spanish, but mostly because it helps me learn so much about this beautiful country.
It's such a wonderful way to truly connect with a place, through those conversations. I have found it ever life changing whenever I travel even within my country and how beautiful that you are learning Spanish, it's a magical language.
I would love a 200km journey on foot too! Though unfortunately there is only one very expensive thru hike in Mexico, otherwise you'd probably be on the road. I agree this feels like a lot in 3 weeks! It was, but we had already a month homestay booked in for Merida. More making the most of the overland option while we could 😊
Fabulous article Em. I really felt like I was with you! And definitely wish I’d been with you! You are absorbing the culture while recognising the positives and negatives of travel within Mexico. Love it. 🥰

".... 1,500km road journey, which would you take?" – I would choose 200-300 kilometers on foot... Seriously.
And on the topic of the post: How much have you packed into this journey! I'm always afraid that my perception won't work... Therefore – on foot :)
