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

Cheap for the location and proximity to the beach and ADO bus but it wasn’t 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.

Arrived on time to connect to my zoom meeting. This hostel is like boutique hostel or the most “luxury” 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 didn’t fail even once. I was amazed and so relieved. Hands down the best hostel in Tulum.

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 😍 I love Mexican food but I’ve 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 don’t 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 â˜ș

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 Oaxaca’s airport and there is no uber there, take the transportation available from the airport, it’s 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 â˜ș

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.
