THROWBACK THURSDAY
MEXICO 🇲🇽☀️
I spent a few nights at this tented camp in Xpu Ha (near Tulum), and this was definitely not your typical Mexico resort stay. My “tent” had a king bed, air conditioning and its own tub on the deck. The property was tucked into the trees, incredibly peaceful, and just a short walk from the beach club and that gorgeous Caribbean water.
One day I hired a private driver with a loose itinerary: ruins, shopping and a cenote. At some point I basically told him to take me somewhere he would go.
That ended up being my favorite part.
He took me to a cenote he loved, became my unofficial photographer for the day, and we ended up having such a good time exploring. Sometimes having a plan is great. Sometimes giving a local permission to go off-script is even better.
A tent in the jungle, Caribbean beaches, ruins, a cenote and apparently a snake around my neck. 😂
Like this trip? Come back tomorrow. I’m turning it into a Flyaway Friday you can actually take. 🇲🇽☀️
