This time I traveled to Mexico on a different mode. Solo travel mode. I took my laptop with me because I still had to work and join zoom meetings for some classes. I did not rent a car but instead took the ADO bus which was really comfortable and had AC. Ticket to Playa del Carmen was ~ 11$ usd

Average
Cheap for the location and proximity to the beach and ADO bus but it wasnât my favorite and I stayed at a few different selinas. I just spent one night and finished some assignments before going to Tulum the next day.

Spent some time at the beach and relaxed for a little bit before heading to Tulum.

Arrived on time to connect to my zoom meeting. This hostel is like boutique hostel or the most âluxuryâ hostel there is out there. I had the coworking all to myself from 8-10 pm. From 6-8 pm I connected from my room and the wifi connection didnât fail even once. I was amazed and so relieved. Hands down the best hostel in Tulum.

We walked from the hostel to Tulum centro to take a van that took us to Laguna Kaan Luum. Make sure to get the drivers phone number to call them when you are ready to be picked up.

I was craving shrimp and we walked around tulum centro where we were dropped off to find shrimp! Good enough for the price, nothing fancy but worth a visit if you are around.

Excellent place for dessert, if you love sweets and are staying at Mayan monkey then definitely stop by here. After spending a great time in Tulum I went back to PDC with the ADO bus đ

Be careful when planning your Quintana Roo trip. Mexico gets hit with lots of seaweed and may is definitely a seaweed month. Tulum was even worst. This part of play del Carmen by parque fundadores was not bad at all with seaweed, was the cleanest part of the beach.

Loved the location and the privacy of this hotel. Family owned and friendly. Located a few steps away from the Peruvian restaurant so it could not be more perfect đ I love Mexican food but Iâve been eating it for a while already so it was good to have Peruvian food so accesible and at a affordable price.

Lost my flight to Oaxaca (from cdmx) be careful with your gate I donât see letter gates in the airport only numbers so make sure to ask someone from your airline where are the letter gates. Fortunately, my flight was changed for free âșïž

First time trying food from Israel. 10/10 it was open until midnight, when we got to the neighborhood most other places were closed already. After a quick walk through the neighborhood I went to the airport to finally arrive to Oaxaca.

Arrived to Oaxacaâs airport and there is no uber there, take the transportation available from the airport, itâs a van and you will be riding with other travelers from your flight and each one will be dropped off at their hotels. I was concerned about finding a taxi but the transportation from the airport worked so well. Once you are settled in your hotel get the number of a trusted taxi company. People in Oaxaca are very kind and friendly. I felt very welcomed âșïž

Arrived to puerto Escondido in the morning and as soon as I dropped off my stuff I came here to watch this beautiful view đ
Good
Travel solo tip here: set your phone or camera on top of a rock and place a smaller rock behind your phone and use the temporizer and repeat as many times as you need đ
Good
When you come to this beach donât forget to bring lots of water! Itâs really hot and you would want to spend some time there, itâs really beautiful âșïž

After coming back from the dolphin tour you should stay at the beach in that area, cross the bridge and you will find a nice beach and a few restaurants to eat breakfast at :)

When I came back to Cancun I made sure to get the covid pcr test and relax for the following couple of days before leaving to go back home.

This place is strategically located, a few minutes away walking from Salud digna lab to get a CPR test at a very reasonable price. Co working available and plenty of space to keep distance from others.
