What You’ll Find on this Travel and Food Site

I am working digitally abroad. I love water, nature, and exploring. I also enjoy the thrill of doing things for less money. So while I appreciate nice things, I will gladly trade luxury accommodations and name-brand sunglasses for more experiences and the chance to learn about food around the world. So my recommendations and experiences will reflect more of an earthy and laid-back travel style. I like to immerse myself in the city and I try to live like the locals do.

I do get a small commission for sending folks to some of my travel suppliers through links on this site. They are all travel companies that I have either used or sometimes tours that I wanted to go on but I ran out of time in that city.

Building My Digital Income Portfolio

I started way too late but I finally started laying the foundations for multiple digital income streams.

• Stock Images and Videos – With all the photos and videos I have been doing, I set myself up with Istock, Shutterstock, Dreamstime, Bigstock, and Pond5 as a contributor.
• This Travel Website – From which I do make a small commission on purchases made through the links on this site.
• My new Etsy Store – Brand new November 2023. I plan on creating digital and physical wall art inspired by my travels through Mexico.
• Misc. Photo, Audio, and Video Editing – This is my bag.
• Coming Soon 2024 – Travel consulting.

How am I Able to do This?

I stay at really affordable houses or apartments. I find perfectly comfortable and safe stays in nice neighborhoods here in Mexico. My contribution to rent is around $500/month generally. A huge difference to Southern California rates. And then I do tours or adventures on the weekends.

With my lifelong dream of traveling, I found a way to combine all of my inspirations in support of life experience. Let me say that I am extremely lucky that I happen to know my way around computers. It’s the main thing that has allowed me to channel this adventure.

I do have a day job. The company I work for has generously made this possible by allowing me to work remotely. I do multimedia production for them during the week.

Ultimately I have a Monday through Friday job but when it’s slower at work, I rely on some of my side hustles as a supplement.

Why Mexico?

I can’t say enough how amazing Mexico has been. The beauty, the land, and the people. I have seen the most amazing places that can’t be captured on camera. From the most pristine, untouched beaches, and crystal blue reefs to Gothic cathedrals. Mexico is truly underrated.

As I began to research cities to work digitally, Mexico has plenty of modern cities with excellent digital infrastructures as far as fast internet speeds. While I am still employed by a US company, I still need to be on American hours, so Mexico was an easy stepping stone to try it out.
