Let's go to Tulum, Mexico's hipster hotspot in the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula. We'll explore Tulum Old Town, Tulum's beaches and everything else this beautiful Mexican town has to offer. We'll also visit Tulum's cenotes and the beautiful Tulum ruins that sit right along the Caribbean Sea, but not before eating our weight in tacos.

Isla Holbox is the Mexico you've always dreamed of. It's THAT beautiful island paradise where you while away the days cycling, swimming and eating your weight in tacos. It's everything I thought Tulum would be - and wasn't. Holbox Island is the one place on my backpacking adventures where I quite literally cried when it was time to say goodbye.

Most visitors to the Dominican Republic head straight to the coast, to Punta Cana, but the DR's charming capital has plenty of things on offer too.
