CDMX
Mexico City Travel Journal
When my partner and I travel together, our favorite thing to do is sit, enjoy a view, people watch, and sketch. Here is my travel journal from our trip to CDMX in January 2024.
…. and some photos from the trip for the curious. If you visit Mexico City, book the Eat Like a Local tour on your first full day! We ate so many good things, met some amazing people, and learned how to take the subway and navigate the city with confidence! It’s a woman owned business with an awesome social component—part of all of their profits go to mentoring girls who work in the market—they learn English, SexEd, and financial literacy so they can take charge of their lives and chase their dreams.
