San Miguel de Allende, Mexico is a strange and unique place in the sense that it is entirely easy to forget you are in Mexico at all. With its European-styled cobblestone streets and architecture, and its swarms of North American artists and retirees who have relocated here, it can be challenging to remember exactly where … Continue Reading
You’ve probably recognized from our recent food post, along with our various Oaxacan cocktail posts on Instagram that we spent 2 weeks over the Christmas holiday in the ever-so-charming town of Oaxaca, Mexico. Like every good foodie, though, it was important for us to figure out where we were going to rest our heads and our … Continue Reading
The idyllic town of Oaxaca (about a 6 hour drive from Mexico City) is a popular destination all times of the year, but especially over the Christmas and New Year holiday. In fact, it’s the busiest week for tourists to be there. We didn’t know it until we arrived, but we were happy to find … Continue Reading
If you’ve been to Mexico City or have heard anything about it, you might be aware of its size and how many things there are to see, eat, and do here. Think: endless options. It’s unlikely you’ll be able to accomplish everything on your list if you’re here for just a short visit since the … Continue Reading
Mexico is known for its exquisite food, so needless to say, Lindsay and I were over the moon to head to its capital to search for what we think are the best restaurants in Mexico City.

Cochabamba’s not necessarily a huge tourist town, but like we mentioned last time, it’s the fourth largest city in Bolivia and is known as the City … Continue Reading
Cochabamba. It’s a fun word, right? You may not have heard of this Bolivian city, but Cochabamba is the fourth largest city in Bolivia. It’s also known as the City of Eternal Spring, and more importantly (in our cases, at least), as the gastronomic capital of Bolivia. Cochabamba also has a history of resistance and … Continue Reading
I’m going to be honest. La Paz, Bolivia was a difficult city for me to get used to, mostly due to its altitude. As the highest capital city in the world at just about 12,000 feet above sea level, it was hard to walk on even flat ground without stopping to catch my breath. Acclimatizing … Continue Reading
In the frenzied and crowded city of La Paz, Ali Pacha offers a surprising reprieve from the city’s hustle and bustle. The restaurant is located in the city’s old-town area, a few blocks from Plaza Murillo. As you step down into the restaurant from the street, the farmhouse chic decor invites you in, as if you … Continue Reading
