I take my birthday off every year. That did not change this year and was no different during the days when I called Mexico City my home. That year, I decided my September surf session would not be at the Jersey Shore or Fire Island, but in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. “Puerto,” as it is charmingly […]

The El Fogon Conclusion – Great Tacos in Playa del Carmen
At times walking the streets of Playa del Carmen one can start to think they are vacationing in Italy. Yes, Italy. Surprised? Well, have you been to Playa lately?

Originally popular because of its Mayan coastal ruins (a post classical period settlement) the destination provides relaxing eco-friedly retreats. A 9km stretch of boutique and chic cabanas and hotels attract visitors from […]
