By Danielle Pointdujour · Updated December 6, 2020

After a while, many destinations can feel basic and overdone but there is one place that never gets old for travelers no matter how many times they visit–Mexico. Mexico is far from your average getaway and offers everything you can find in other exotic escapes, but with less flying time and at more affordable prices.

From culture, food and beaches to bucket list activities, wellness and more, Mexico is the adventure that just keeps on giving. Travel nurse practitioner Ebony (@frontpage_eb) recently visited the country on a quest to follow her dreams and live a life that she loves.

If you thought a Mexican getaway was overrated, check out a few of Ebony’s photos and take notes from our handy guide so that you can be inspired to follow your dreams – or the sun – to Mexico too.

01
Welcome to Mexico
Mexico is a country ripe with amazing landscapes that range from mountains and jungles to deserts and sandy beaches. Its closeness to the states, year-round great weather and affordability has made it the perfect destination for travelers looking for a quick, fulfilling getaway. December and April are the best times to visit and enjoy picture-perfect weather.

Street Eats
There are several delicious traditional dishes to try like Pozole and Chiles en Nogada during your travels to Mexico, but a trip to Mexico isn’t complete without indulging in one of the country’s most popular street eats – Tacos. Oh and don’t forget to wash it down with some local tequila!

World Wonder
If the spectacular beaches and delicious food weren’t enough to have you booking a flight to Mexico tonight, what about the chance to check a world wonder site off your list? One of the most visited locations in Mexico is the archeological grounds of Chichen Itza–please don’t miss it!
