Travel stories from Americas

Welcome to the page with all the Americas travel stories and tips!

Here I dive into the vibrant, diverse and seriously underrated places across the Americas – both North and South. Whether you’re planning your first trip to Mexico or you’ve already fallen in love with the continent’s rhythm, colours and energy, you’ll find something here to make you interested in the country (and maybe even change your itinerary).

Right now, this section is mostly dedicated to Mexico, because it completely stole my heart. You’ll find practical tips to help you travel smarter and cheaper, guides to places that feel like stories come to life, and honest reflections on what it’s really like to experience Mexico beyond the resorts. I talk about everything from navigating colectivos to flying your drone legally, from beach towns to jungle ruins, and the good, the bad and the slightly chaotic in between.

Soon, I’ll be adding stories and advice from other countries in the Americas: think Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Costa Rica and more. My goal is to help you travel more meaningfully, use tech to your advantage, and see each place with fresh eyes rather than through an Instagram filter.

I travel with a drone, an underwater action cam and a big appetite for both local food and unexpected adventures. If you’re into exploring new cultures with respect, embracing the chaos of travel, and finding the balance between planning and spontaneity, you’re in the right place. Especially if you’re not against using a bit of technology to improve your experience, see more unique spots and capture the best moments!
