Waiting for a friend on the Friendship Bridge, I watched the sky change colors during the golden hour – sunset. I captured the moment and the magic of the Veracruz sunset on the Friendship Bridge, but little did I know more awaited. When my friend and fellow ATMEX attendee met me on the bridge, we […]

What’SUP Sayulita – Paddleboarding in the Riviera Nayarit
by Craig Zabransky on March 13, 2014 in Beach, Films, Mexico Travel
The seaside town of Sayulita has been on my “must visit” list in Mexico for years. The surfer-yoga enclave intrigued me from the very first day I heard about it, a day well before I ever I fell in love with Mexico. An hour north of Puerto Vallarta along the pacific coast’s the small beach […]
A Mexican Must-Tacos al Pastor
by Craig Zabransky on March 11, 2014 in Culture Thru Cuisine, Mexico Travel
I love Mexico for many reasons, but regardless of where I visit, every trip usually includes a sunset moment, a tequila session, the song Besame Mucho and tacos, plenty of tacos. Not just any tacos either, nope – Tacos al Pastor. What is a Tacos al Pastor? Besides delicious? The taco is actually fusion…Lebanese spices […]
Sunset Sunday-A Stroll through Chihuahua City at Sunset
by Craig Zabransky on March 9, 2014 in Mexico Travel, Sunset Sunday
We arrived in Chihuahua City midafternoon to attend the TravelLand Travel Summit. Chihuahua City is a long scenic drive from Ciudad Juarez and the US border. The summit proved educational, especially about northern Mexico and the adventures that await, including more about the Samalayuca Sand Dunes we visited on the way to TravelLand. After leaving the […]

by Craig Zabransky on March 6, 2014 in Beach, Destination, Mexico Travel
San Francisco, Nayarit, Mexico. Yes San Francisco is a place worth visiting in Mexico too and the quaint beach village on Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit left an impression on me. A few miles up the coast from the popular hippie beach town of Sayulita, visitors find the town of San Francisco also known locally as San […]
Episode 1: Discovering Nuevo Vallarta in the Riviera Nayarit
by Craig Zabransky on March 3, 2014 in Destination, Films, Mexico Travel
This past year, I took a different type of trip to Mexico. A trip I’ll never forget. I met amazing people, visited amazing destinations and had an amazing time. That didn’t add anything new to how I feel about Mexico, but something was different, something very new. I was on a different type of assignment […]
Chicago Is My Kind of Beach Town?
by Craig Zabransky on February 27, 2014 in Beach
I don’t believe when Frank Sinatra sang his classic, My Kind of Town (Chicago is), he ever thought about Chicago as a beach town. I know I never have, but after a recent trip to Chicago this past summer that changed. Yes, Chicago has a few beaches, good beaches. I know I was surprised too. […]
Sunset Sunday-Barquisimeto, Venezuela
by Craig Zabransky on February 23, 2014 in Sunset Sunday
I love watching the sunset because it is a shared human experience. It happens every day, it happens everywhere, and every one of us can enjoy it. Recently, I asked a Venezuelan friend living in Mexico for a sunset image to highlight the beauty inside Venezuela. She responded with a photo and also gave me […]
