"Build a life you don't need a vacation from" is a quote you've probably heard before.
.
"Building your dream life could mean working more than you ever thought possible" is a quote you hear less often.
.
It's almost like the fine print on a big billboard. Yes, go after your dreams. Get clear on your goals, create an action plan and strive to make a little progress everyday.
.
When it's your dream, the work is worthwhile. But there's nothing wrong with treating yourself to a well-earned vacation.

European palace or Mexico City post office?!
.
If travel has taught us anything, it's that things aren't always as they seem. Mexico surprises us every time we visit and the country is full of beautiful gems like this palatial post office.
.
As much as we love a good beach getaway, some of our favourite destinations are the big cities with endless surprises and the small towns full of colonial charm.
.
We've got a new post up on the blog sharing some of our favourite non-beach destinations in Mexico! Did your fav make our list?

Sending sunshine your way, wherever you are!
.
It's been a while since we posted here but you've likely seen that Wes is filming in Mexico and Fel is home in Toronto. We're together nearly 24/7 and sometimes it's nice to take trips on our own or with friends/family when we get the chance. I was trying to think of a caption about supporting each other's urge to travel and I can't say it any better than @ninamontagne does:
.
"If you love someone, let them travel.
Let them see, let them learn, let them meet.
If you love someone, let them travel.
Don't stand between them and the world.
In between them and the possibility of a grander life.
In between them and the natural instinct that is to explore..."
.
If you love someone, let them travel.

Better together 💕
.
We spent the last few days house sitting in a town called Rincon de Guayabitos and we realized it's been a while since we experienced a new place together that wasn't for a video or work project.
.
After years of creating content while travelling, it was so refreshing to wander the streets with no agenda for the day or deadlines to meet.
.
Hoping to live more in the moment this year and watch as many sunsets as we can together. If only they were this epic every day!

Tlaquepaque is such a colourful part of Mexico and a picture-perfect place to visit if you're in Guadalajara 🇲🇽
.
We completely missed this gem when we first backpacked through Mexico in 2016 but made a point to check it out the second time we found ourselves in Guadalajara.
.
There are tons of boutique shops and galleries that line this photogenic umbrella street but nothing beats the live music and dancing at 'El Parian'.
.
Whenever we find ourselves in a city that we've already been to, we end up discovering so many things we didn't know the first time around and usually end up loving it even more. 💕

New can be scary but even more frightening is playing it safe your whole life.
.
We're looking forward to experimenting a lot this year and trying new things can be uncomfortable at first. Last week we stumbled upon this quote and it motivated us to keep stepping out of our comfort zone. Hope it might inspire you, too:
.
"You should know right now, if you didn’t know already, that what drives the team behind Parts Unknown is not to do what we did last week or last month — or ever. We are delighted when our viewers like an episode and even more delighted when they love one. But we are compelled, just the same, to avoid repeating what we’ve done before. If we fail — we want to fail outrageously, foolishly, gloriously — giving it everything we’ve got in the cause of making something new and strange and hopefully, awesome.” - @anthonybourdain .

Sometimes it’s easy to feel a disconnect with this platform when we’re not posting photos in flowy dresses or having breakfast in luxury villas. That’s not how/why we travel but the whole “is this even insta-worthy?” thought process gets in our heads. And, if we’re being honest here, even stops us from posting altogether.
.
But the other day we had a long bus ride in Mexico and thought, let’s do a Q&A on our stories to help pass the time. We received SO many questions from people all over the world and you reminded us why we started this journey in the first place: to help you see more of the world and pursue what you love.
.
While we’re not filming travel vlogs anymore, we want to keep using this platform to share stories and lessons we’ve learned from our travels.
.
To help you.
To inspire you.
And maybe even make you laugh along the way.
.
Thank you for reminding us of our “why” when we were in need of a reminder!
.
Now, over to you: why do you do what you do?

Remember that it's perfectly okay to take a step backward if it's going to help project you forward.
.
.
This year we moved back to Canada and travelled to fewer countries but that doesn't mean we didn't learn, grow and prepare for our future.
.
.
If things didn't go as planned for you in 2018, it's okay. And, while we don't need a new year to have a fresh start, we hope you overcome every challenge that may come your way in 2019. Wishing you nothing but the best ❤️

There are some touristy things we will gladly skip and others we fully embrace. Xochimilco is a popular day trip from Mexico City but one we can't pass up when we're in town!
.
.
.
These gondola style boats are called trajineras and each is hand painted with beautiful designs and colours. Some can fit up to 20 people making this excursion perfect for locals celebrating anything from a birthday to a wedding 🎉

.
We had a whole boat to ourselves but are always looking for friends to celebrate with. Would you join us?!

It was golden hour at Plaza Garibaldi and the mariachi bands were just getting warmed up for an evening of performances. The square is a popular stop for visitors coming to hear their favourite Mexican melodies.
.
.
We were waiting for the sun to set when we heard the first song of the evening. Except instead of the band singing, it was a man serenading his date! He sang his heart out while the mariachi played and all eyes were on the couple who set the bar for romantic gestures.
.
.
And us? We only sing at karaoke... provided there's enough beer involved 🙃

Have you ever returned to a city only to discover you love it even more than the first time?
.
.
Well, this is our third visit to Mexico City and we're constantly amazed by all there is to see and do here! For our last week in the city, we moved to a different Airbnb and keep discovering new parks, street food and murals everywhere we look.

"Where's the best place you've visited?" is probably our most popular question and the hardest to answer. There are so many underrated destinations we love in this world and Bacalar is pretty close to the top of the list!  Our travel guide to Mexico's most beautiful lagoon is linked in our bio 🌴

Sometimes there are no shortcuts.⁣
⁣
Sometimes the best views come only after hours of hiking. Uphill. In the heat, rain, wind or mud.⁣
⁣
And you want to cry out in frustration because everything sucks and you're sweating and you don't even know why you agreed to go hiking in the first place.⁣
⁣
But you keep at it. One foot in front of the other fully knowing that the second you get to the top, all the self-doubt will fall away once you're rewarded with the view.⁣
⁣
And you can't help but smile on the way down because you're reminded that you're capable of achieving whatever you set your mind to.⁣
⁣
One step at a time.⁣

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. - Wayne Dyer
.
.
.
Sometimes it takes getting away from something to see it for what it really is. Each time we come back from our travels, we're that much more grateful for all that we have. Our 'problems' are nothing compared to those who have only ever known a life of struggle. If you're having a hard time with something today, try to step back and find something to be grateful for 🙏

Also, how beautiful does this field of agave look?? 😍 Taken from Wes' recent trip to Jalisco on assignment with @siempretequila .

A little reminder to define your own path regardless of what it may look like. In a world where it's too easy to get caught up in the lives of others, remember to seek out what brings you the most joy and find ways to do more of it. Our path is crooked and fuzzy and backwards at times but it's taken us to some of the most beautiful places and for that we have no regrets. .
