Do you agree? Is this Mexico’s most beautiful be

Do you agree? Is this Mexico’s most beautiful beach?! It’s often rated as one of the top beaches in the world!

Playa Balandra is more than a beach though, it’s a protected bay and natural area that is home to a large mangrove and many bird and fish species!

And it’s open again to the public!!

Balandra was closed for many months due to a yacht wreckage that left the bay polluted with oil. 😔

***Leave No Trace when you visit! 🌿 Pick up your trash, don’t climb on the Mushroom Rock, stay on marked trails, and do not disturb the marine or wildlife***

✨ THINGS TO DO AT BALANDRA

🛶 Kayak/SUP
🍄 See the mushroom rock
🤿 Swim/snorkel
🥾 Hike to the viewpoint

✨ + TIPS FOR VISITING (save this for later!)

• BYOB and snacks/picnic
• Balandra closes at 5pm (but they don’t let in new cars after 4:30pm)
• Catch the last bus at 4:40pm or 18:40pm
• It’s a 30-min bus ride from La Paz Malécon

I’ll definitely be back to spend a whole day here and at the surrounding beaches!

In my last year of my 20s and all I can think looking back is… Wow.

I am so grateful that I chose to make travel my life and most importantly, that I could do it all alongside Paul and Yoda 🥲✨

🌋 DAYS 1-3: ANTIGUA

Welcome to Guatemala! Your private transfer will pick you up at La Aurora International Airport and take you to your hotel in the old colonial and elegant city of Antigua Guatemala! Antigua, as it is called, was the epicenter of power during the 17th and 18th centuries. We will have a welcome meeting + dinner on our first night. Let the fun and adventures begin!!

✈️ Airport Transfer
💛 Welcome Dinner
🌋 Acatenango Volcano Guided Hike + Overnight at Basecamp
🥘 Antigua Street Food Tour
📜 Antigua History Tour with Local Historian, Elizabeth Bell

🧘‍♀️ DAYS 4-6: LAGO DE ATITLÁN

Transfer to Lake Atitlán, one of the most beautiful lakes in the world and the deepest in Central America! We will spend the next few days participating in local art/weaving co-ops 🎨, relaxing lakeside in heated outdoor springs ♨️, and exploring the indigenous Maya towns of San Pedro (where Paul, Yoda, and I stayed for 2 months), colorful San Juan, chill Santa Cruz, and the hippiesque town of San Marcos 🧘‍♀️.

🌿 DAYS 7-8: LANQUÍN & SEMUC CHAMPEY

Semuc Champey is a collection of tiered pools atop natural limestone in the jungles of Guatemala 🐆. It’s known for its turquoise lakes, lush greenery, and the time and effort it takes to get there. We will be spending the night in a jungly eco-hotel 🌿, with a full day to spend swimming and exploring the Semuc Champey pools and Lanquín Caves!

✨ DAYS 9-10: ANTIGUA + DEPARTURES

We will make the journey back to Antigua where we will explore more of the city's gems, including my favorite speakeasy 🍹 and a night in a lovely boutique hotel (former convent) with stunning colonial architecture. On Day 10, we will help you get to GUA airport on time for your flight home 💛.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Take the leap in your life, your career, & your re

Take the leap in your life, your career, & your relationships, even if it scares the sh!t out of you.

Even if it makes your legs go numb or wobbly like jello. Even if your brain is *literally* telling you to back away from the ledge (as mine was until I listened to my heart’s desire to FULLY live and be A L I V E).

Because it’s those moments in life when I jump not despite of fear but together with fear, that I feel truly alive and aware.

I feel like life loves me just as much as I love life. And we all deserve to feel like that, right?

So this is your sign to allow fear to accompany you on your adventures. Soon enough, you’ll be BFFs. ✌️

PS — I am super proud of Paul who jumped even though he’s fairly afraid of heights! I think this cliff was about 25ft which isn’t crazy but it definitely made my stomach plunge!! 😨

When a place just GETS you — that’s Bonaire /

When a place just GETS you — that’s Bonaire / @BonaireTourism (coincidence that both our names start with “B”? I think not!).

Bonaire is everything that I looove in a destination. It’s a place that feels like ME.

This tiny island off the coast of Venezuela in the Dutch Caribbean might be small, but it’s mighty! It has:

🥾Adventure
🌿Sustainability
🦩Nature/Wildlife
🇧🇶Culture
🤿Diving
🎨Diversity
🦐Food
💜Community
🥁Music
📜History
🖌Art

From diving to landsailing to caving to kitesurfing, there is always an outdoor adventure waiting on Bonaire.

But there is also lots of culture and history and music and art (and reallyyy good seafood)!

Bonairean culture is at the confluence of several different cultures, languages, food, and music styles! So it’s a mixed platter of colors and sounds and smells and flavors that transport you, inspire you, and welcome you.

It’s a Caribbean island unlike any other. It’s where Mother Nature meets human nature 🌿💛

And that’s exactly the type of do-good, feel-good vacation I want to go on.

PS — peep my ‘bonaire’ story highlights for all the BTS of our week there! And don’t forget you can find all my free Bonaire guides/itineraries on the blog @bucketlistbri (link in bio)

This is why Mexico is one of our favorite countrie

This is why Mexico is one of our favorite countries for slow travel:

Good food 🌮
Good vibes 🌊
Good fun! 😜

The culture, people, and nature of Mexico are just so underrated as well — all of it! ✨ I think this is our… 7th? time slow living/traveling in Mexico since 2018 — and BCS is our 5th state we’ve lived in! Every state is so diverse and has so many known & hidden gems.

Have you ever been to Baja California Sur before?!
