We're really excited and nervous to leave the US for a year but we're really happy to do it and to share with you along the way. 

Our journey starts this weekend in Mexico City and we'll be in Mexico for approximately 3 months. We're doing a big loop going north to San Luis de Potosi, then SW down to the Pacific coast and will be in Oaxaca for Dia de los Muertos. 

If anyone has suggestions or ideas or will be around this itinerary, please let us know!! We'd love to hear from you and even better see you in Mexico. 

Please see the picture for general route.

We have been in CDMX for almost two weeks and are sad to leave on Saturday, but there are so many more magical places in Mexico.  I'll be updating with stories and much more frequently on my Instagram, @sirjackson_esq (pic of profile below), but saving some great photos for FB. At end of this post we will have our general timeline for the next 3 months, so PLEASE if you will be here or have great friends we should meet, hit us ups!! One of the 1st things we like to do is either do a walking tour or a open air double decker bus to get the "lay of the land." about 5 years ago, we did a great walking tour, so we decided to to the bus for $15, you can do all 4 routes and its good for 24 hrs, and hop-on hop-off, so you can stop pretty much anywhere along the route so see the amazing architecture! We are staying at a wonderful place called Sonder Cóporo. This is a world wide extended stay modern apartment brand and we are impressed. A full month for a one bedroom studio is abou

Happy Holidays and Prospero Ano Nuevo to everyone. Its been a bit since my last post, so going to cover considerable ground here, even including an outline for those who want brevity! *) Hilarious Caricature 1) Where are we now 2) Handling House and Dog in Austin 3) Update on last 3 weeks 4) General Itinerary for next few months 5) Come join us!! *) We had this caricature done a few days ago and though the resemblance was uncanny (haha), I didn't realize we were in alternate universe mode where my name is Dake. I spelled it for the guy a few times, but when he turned it around for the reveal, we thought it was so funny, we didn't correct it. These are the moments in life and love and travel that we live for.  1) We are currently in Guatemala and will be spending NYE in Antigua, a wonderful colonial town known for its welcoming people, architecture, Spanish schools, volcanoes and ex-pats! Some friends are joining us and we are so excited to hang with them the next few days. Post

Antigua, Antigua, Antigua

  Wow, just WOW.  Antigua Guatemala is such an amazing place and I'm seeing it on quite a few lists for Digital Nomads. Less than an hour west of Guatemala City and 1.5 hours west of Lake Atitlan, it has so many activities, shops, cafes, vibrant people, expats and thrill seekers. We spent NYE there with new and old friends in a beautiful house in the city center. Amazing activities included were: 1) Stepping into the world of Lord of the Rings at Hobbitenango 2) Eating a pizza cooked in the heat and at the top of Volcan Pacaya!! 3) Eating some of the best Texas BBQ at Pappy's…in Antigua (10 patty burger) 4) Blasting off SO MANY fireworks at the stroke of midnight 2023 5) Seeing ancient skeletons in multiple crypts. Our two good friends Adam and John came to hang with us for NYE and long with a new friends we met in Xela a week earlier.  It was so great having friends there to celebrate with us and experience Antigua, sunsets, amazing food and good laughs. There is a hill just o
