    Your entire series across Mexico has just shown me that Mexico is way cheaper than I thought for travel (depending on where you go of course). Love the style/format of this video! I'd love to see this style in other cities/countries once you move on from PE at some point.

    could you make a video about safety and just overall how traveling in Mexico is in a safe way? There is so much prejudice surrounding it but Mexico is so beautiful I would love to go. As female traveler how what tips or just general thoughts do you have?

      Just don't go out at night alone,use common sense do not wear any expensive jewelry,read reviews of the neighborhoods you're planning to visit join an expat page there u'll find valuable info.I've been robbed in first world countries so I guess it happens everywhere Media feed us with what sells more and that is violence but not all Mexico is dangerous, they love giving Mexico a bad rep.

      Hi That's in old record about Mexico You ought to know that anywhere in the world is dangerous If in Mexico more than 1 million 200k to 1 million 500k of Americans live all over Mexico that tells you how dangerous it is Lady Ga Ga's 2 dogs where stolen from her from her yard in West Hollywood California only 8 miles from my home Santa Monica California USA. She had to place a $500,000 reward to recuperated them which she did a few days ago l If you don't come to Mexico and get involved in drugs, getting out of control drinking like the Americans springs breakers, who got to Cancun, Acapulco, Los Cabos, Baja California Sur Puerto Vallarta, etc. you'll be just fine Greetings from Southern California USA

      Mexico is not dangerous, it is only as dangerous as any other place. Your odds of being in wrong place wrong time is just as much the same as where you are right now. However, common sense can get you more safety. Most people who get extorted in Mexico don't actually know its happening until after the fact. Just like anywhere don't give up money to someone promising you the moon. Yes it happens rarely, but can easily be prevented.

      Isn’t she doing that already? Most Europeans are savvy travelers because they usually enjoy the simplicity of traveling. She is showing us how fun it is to travel with thoughts of adventure and just wanting to explore. I think we must use common sense when walking ANYWHERE in the world including our own cities!
