Mexico is undeniably one of my favorite countries, so I'm happy to share the first video about it ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ

It's about Mil Islas, one of the mostly unknown places waiting to be explored when you venture off the beaten path in Oaxaca ๐ŸŒฟ

It's such a new venture for me & it sure pushes me out of my comfort zone, but it's also so rewarding to see how every single thing I learn helps improve my videos โœŒ๏ธ

Let me know what you think!

Fun fact: I did not realize how YT compresses the audio of videos, so the first upload of this video was rather interesting... whoops? ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚

But lesson learned (or at least I hope so) โœŒ๏ธ

For years, MUC used to be my home airport, so it's hard not to feel at least a little bit nostalgic whenever a work trip takes me there โœˆ๏ธ

If you end up at MUC: be sure to eat the carrot cake at the 'Kรคfer' restaurant! It's incredible!

Having a layover in MEX sure is a massive pain, and yet, I prefer it to having a layover in the states these days โœˆ๏ธ

Next stop: Veracruz & then a longish car ride ๐Ÿ‘€

In 8 days I head to Mexico for 20 days ๐Ÿ™Œ

As has become the theme of my trips, I'll start with a few days off the beaten track before attending ATMEX conference in Oaxaca City๐ŸŒฟ

After that, I'll head to the coast for some diving ๐ŸŒŠ

My next Japan trip will so be a flying there with a suitcase in a suitcase trip ๐Ÿ˜‚

Fill it up with cookies & Disneyland Tokyo popcorn buckets & then Yamato it to my final stop in Japan ๐Ÿ˜‚

The box in the image is not the large box ๐Ÿ™ˆ that was the mid-trip box ๐Ÿ™ˆ

But a metal box ๐Ÿ‘€ they did not have that one at the airport in Osaka ๐Ÿ‘€ I need it!

I was planning to focus on new countries too, but then old destinations pulled me back ๐Ÿ™ˆ but I have no regrets

let's see if I can throw some new countries into the mix later in the year

I really should create a places I want to see in Japan list too ๐Ÿ‘€

Love that you want to head to Hokkaido! It always baffles me that so many people never even think of heading there when it's one of the most stunning parts of Japan

Highly recommend adding Akan Mashu to the Hokkaido list

5 weeks in 2026 sounds exciting! Where are you planning to go?

Hoping a return trip to Hokkaido will manifest itself later this year ๐Ÿ™ˆ I'd love to see more of that area of Japan

I didn't expect to love it this much, as heading to the islands was not my first choice when selecting my pre-summit adventure for the Adventure Travel World Summit in 2023, but it ended up being the best trip ๐ŸŒฟ

great hikes, wildflowers & landscapes I would not have expected in North Japan ๐Ÿ’š

So what better place to share than Rebun & Rishiri? Hokkaido's Far North is certainly a wild place! ๐Ÿฅพ

100% recommend traveling there!

I know, right? According to some sources, UNESCO even approved this, which makes is the biggest wth... it makes me beyond angry to see natural beauty destroyed like this

I am happy I skipped the Ba Na Hills because it means the company behind this destruction did not get a cent from me

I keep meaning to do this! Maybe I'll manage to do a weekend getaway to Malaga this year so I can finally cross it off my list

I've been looking into why this happened & let's just say the stories I've read devastate me as they show a clear failure of understanding what 'green tourism' is and what most international travelers are looking for ๐Ÿ˜•

Sorry Vietnam, but you're on a path to destroying what makes you amazing

People flocked to the island for its natural beauty and they've managed to ruin the very thing that made it one of the most incredible places in Vietnam

I always said I'd return there, but now I'm afraid doing so would just ruin my memories of an amazing time on the island

Sometimes I really hate the tourism industry & what it does to incredible places

I visited Cat Ba in Vietnam in 2019 & loved it, and just found out they've destroyed so many things I loved about it ๐Ÿ˜ญ

See all the bright spots of 'land'? They've poured sand into Lan Ha Bay to create a tourist hell
