This post is a follow-up to my first Mexico City food post – you can find Part One right here! I’d be lying if I said that food wasn’t among my top three reasons to return to Mexico City (the other two? The culture and the people!). For months I’d been dreaming of the meals …

Visiting Teotihuacan with a Local through Airbnb Experiences
One of Mexico City’s best-known and most popular attractions is also one of the hardest to get to.

24 Hours in Montgomery, Alabama
My visit to Montgomery felt like a whole lot of “hurry up and wait.” Michael and I arrived in the early afternoon from Birmingham, located about an hour north of the state’s capital.
