Bacalar – SumUp

Bacalar was simply amazing! The town is named after it’s huge, crystal blue lagoon. There are not many hostel options and that is a good thing. We wanted to save some bucks and decided to book the Hostel with the lowest price and rating on „Hostelworld“  „Casa Lahar“. While private rooms are quite pricy, the …

Mexico City – SumUp

In Mexico City we had the luck to stay at a friends place. In case you are not that lucky: Backpacker hostels will cost you in between 10-20€ for a dorm-bed and 20-30€ for a double. Most people stay directly in the city center, close to the Zocalo (central square). This is also recommended by …

Mexico is a very large country and 2 months are not enough to see it all. For us it is always important to really get …
