Dia de los Muertos is one of my favorite cultural events of the year,  which falls on October 31-November 2nd. Learn more about the wonderful Mexican tradition and holiday here.

While we have all spent years visiting the beautiful beaches of Mexico, it turned out it’s largest City was the true cultural gem all along.

Before it turned into the “Hamptons South”, I spent many years going to visit Tulum, Mexico and reveling in it’s gorgeous setting and unfussy vibe. It has grown significantly in the years since but it both Tulum and Isla Holbox offer the perfect beach escape.
