What To Expect When Visiting Mexico
Mexico gains a bad reputation sometimes from the media over the years. I would not let this stray you from this country – Mexico is BEAUTIFUL! I have been to many areas of Mexico all offering something different – Cozumel and its turquoise beaches and perfect snorkeling, Puerto Vallarta with its stunning villas and party scene, Cancun with its beaches, big resorts and party scene, and Tijuana with its culture. My detailed itineraries and guides will come soon on these areas but I highly recommend visiting each and every one (Tulum and Mexico City are next up on my list, too!).
Currency
Mexican Peso. $1 USD is equal to about $18 Pesos.
Language
Spanish! But in most of the areas in Mexico everyone speaks decent English because of its proximity to the USA!

This is not a recommendation to buy travel insurance.
