🌎 Welcome to our channel! We’re Jennifer & Darryle two Canadians
(plus our 15-year-old Maltese!) who moved to Mexico in 2021 and have been traveling the country ever since.
🚗 From budget travel tips and property tours to restaurant finds, jungle adventures, waterfalls, ruins, coffee plantations, and mountain biking—we share what real life in Mexico looks like, one destination at a time. ⭐Helpful LInks below. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
🧭 Whether you're planning a trip, thinking about moving to Mexico, or just love exploring new places, we’re glad you’re here!
Escape the tourist crowds with us as we head to one of Playa del Carmen’s favorite local hangouts: Playa Esmeralda. Joining us are our dear friends Sherry and Keith, who traded the Canadian tundra for the Mexican sunshine, and we couldn't wait to show them this hidden gem at the edge of the city.
After a quick taco stop, we navigated the busy weekend crowds to find the perfect spot. Playa Esmeralda is famous for its refreshing freshwater cenote that flows right onto the beach, making it a calm, shallow paradise perfect for families. We even had a surprise run-in with fellow creators from Canada, George and Barbra!
In this video:
Aerial Views: We fly the DJI Neo to catch a stunning bird’s-eye perspective of the cenote meeting the Caribbean Sea.
The Vibe: See why this "gringo-free" zone is the heart and soul of the local community.
Beach Walk: Join me as I explore the shoreline and experience the legendary warmth and hospitality of the Mexican people (including a hilarious encounter in the water!).
City Adventure: The day doesn’t end when the sun goes down—we head into the heart of Playa del Carmen to see what the evening holds.
Mexico continues to prove why moving here full-time was the best decision we ever made. The culture, the people, and the hidden corners like Playa Esmeralda make every day an adventure.
