  • After a decade of wanting to go, we finally experienced the REAL DAY OF THE DEAD in Mexico!
    This is one of the most beautiful celebrations in the world and such a great way to remember loved ones who have passed.
    In this video, we take you to downtown zocalo to see the huge Mexico City parade that was made famous by James Bond and take a road trip to the heart of the Day of the Dead - Michoacan! We visit Morelia to see the beautiful zocalo and some dance celebrations before going to Patacuaro, the most famous destination for Dia Los Muertos, including a night in a cemetery!

    Matt is the “quintessentially Canadian”, born under the northern lights in Northern Alberta with family all over the country, whereas Karla is originally from Mexico City, bringing a totally fresh perspective to a country she has fallen in love with.
    Over the past 10 years, we have travelled to 42 countries spanning six continents, which has given us the expertise to plan amazing trips and find memorable experiences.
    In 2017, we decided to explore our own massive backyard with Road to 150, a 150-day #roadtrip across #Canada, witnessing the beauty and diversity of this country and sharing our experiences through video, pictures, social media, and articles. Since then, we’ve helped thousands of Canadians and travellers worldwide make the most of every Canadian experience.

    my family celebrates this tradition with our grandparents who were frequent travelers to mexico, they were even welcomed in by a mexican family, they would hook their airstream up and travel across the boarder to this families house and park their trailer, so naturally my granny would wear mexican dresses around her house, every nov 1 my mom my aunt, dad and uncle would go to their graves and put down flowers for them

    Thank you for sharing. Great coverage! While this tradition is a touching sentiment for people to remember their loved ones who died, all who die remain asleep in death, unconscious to time and place, until called forth by Jesus Christ at the first or second resurrection (Ecclesiastes 9, John 5, Revelation 20).
