The more I discover through travel in Mexico, the more comfortable I am recommending the road trip and exploring Mexico on your own. One perfect place to rent a car in Mexico and drive the coast is through Riviera Nayarit. Like exploring the Mayan Ruins of the Yucatan, directions are simple and one main coastal […]

A California Starburst Sunset from Valley Center, CA
by Craig Zabransky on April 26, 2015 in Sunset Sunday
Visiting family has its moments, very special and memorable moments. You also find yourself visiting places you might not never get a chance (or choose) to visit. Have you ever heard of Valley Center, California? After landing in San Diego, heading towards the mountains and not the beach almost seemed wrong. What was out there? […]

Podcast Episode 02: Traveling the State of Yucatan, Mexico
by Craig Zabransky on April 20, 2015 in Mexico Travel, Podcast Show Notes
The Yucatan is more than Cancun and the Riviera Maya. In fact these Mexican tourist destinations are not even located in the state of Yucatan itself (but on the Yucatan Peninsula). Actually, the state of Yucatan, one of the 31 states of Mexico holds much different treasures and it was definitely a place I wanted […]

by Craig Zabransky on April 16, 2015 in Destination, Films, Mexico Travel
You can look on a map and to explore the United Mexican States (the official name for Mexico) or you can actually visit them. I’ve visited many of Mexico’s states and expect to explore more in the years to come. To date I’ve only stepped foot in roughly half of them, but that didn’t stop […]

Podcast Episode 1: Costa Rica, the Pura Vida
by Craig Zabransky on April 9, 2015 in Podcast Show Notes
Costa Rica will always be a special place for me. After cutting the corporate chains (for the first time) in late 2004, I began my 11 month 15 country travel sabbatical with 8 weeks in Costa Rica. It changed my life. So, once I decided to start the Stay Adventurous podcast and allow listeners a new way to […]

by stayadventurous on March 31, 2015 in Destination, Guest Post, Mexico Travel
The city of Zacatecas is capital of the state of the same name. This UNESCO-listed city is the northern-most of Mexico’s major historical silver mining towns. It is a picturesque town with lovely pink limestone buildings and a fascinating history that began in the 1540s when a silver lode was found here. Mexico Travel Tip: […]

Heaven Awaits Across the Border at El Cielo in Tamaulipas, Mexico

‘Cielo’ is the Spanish word for heaven, and also of the celestial name of a divine paradise that surprises visitors, hidden among the Northern Mexican landscape (normally expected to be dry, arid and desertic).
