Travelers to Mexico Can Breathe Easy
Good news, Captain. If you’re traveling to the “D.F.” or as many Mexicans call it, ”Mexico,” (meaning Mexico City; and yes, it’s confusing when you’re in Monterrey, Mexico and someone asks if you’ve been to “Mexico” - like, duh, yeah?), you will not be as overwhelmed by the poor air quality as you would have been... »

Moving Past Trinkets: Socially Conscious Souvenirs
Our favorite trip souvenir is a beat-up, sun-bleached baseball cap that says Costa Rica on it. It’s not beat up because we’ve worn it so much – it came that way. We went on a horseback-riding trip in Monteverde and bonded with our guides. One of them admired a baseball cap one of us... »
