Mexicans love to live life and experience the richness of every moment. The typical image of a man lying on a hammock, a sombrero covering his face, isn’t far fetched at all. If you spot a tree this dense, it would be almost criminal to not indulge in some siesta … more »

In this section we share with you visuals from our travels around the world.
So come back for more honest photos and see how beautiful the world truly is!
It’s lonely at the edge
Standing lonely and tall at the edge, petrified like the waterfall it overlooks. It’s freezing, but the water is warm and welcoming. Bubbling up from the heart of the mountain – these hot springs at Hierve el Agua in Oaxaca, look like an infinity pool. Impressive!
Imagination can take you anywhere
Spotted at the border between Mexico and Guatemala. He sells ice cream at the ‘International Lagoon’ – a lake that is caught between Mexico and Guatemala. Tourists from both sides of the border throng to his ice-cream stand. Double the business = Double the travel ? I wonder how many … more »

Mexican Coffee – Cafe de Olla
Warm and aromatic, this Mexican treat is a definite winner. The coffee is light and this enhances the Cinnamon-ny experience that it brings with it. Make sure you ask for Cafe de Olla when you’re in Mexico!
From the other side
London was freezing but the view from the other side of the Thames warmed us up. We were walking towards the Tate Modern Museum and saw the city lights. It was just 5PM. This is a city that looks amazing in the dark. Mostly because the days are very grey.
