In yesterday's video, we asked our subscribers what we should do that day in Guadalajara, Mexico. A couple of people recommended that we visit Bosque Los Colomos; a free park that's about a fifteen-minute drive from our Airbnb.
While traveling through Mexico, we have tried to drive as little as possible. Once we get to our new Airbnb we'll typically leave the car parked until we absolutely need it. Therefore, we generally end up Ubering to most places.
The fifteen-minute drive was $55.40 pesos to get there and $45.58 pesos to get back via Uber Pool ($3.06 USD and $2.52 USD, respectively.)
The park is enormous so we didn't get to see all of it, but it was a pretty cool place! It was surprisingly quiet and relaxing, especially considering that it was a gorgeous Saturday.
There are countless paths throughout for walking, running, or horseback riding, it has plenty of places to have a seat and enjoy a good book, and friendly squirrels that will come right up to you and eat peanuts out of your hand.
As you walk around the park, you'll encounter quite a few different themes. This "Japanese garden" was probably my favorite one of the day.

We don't talk about this subject a whole lot. Aside from producing (what are hopefully) entertaining videos, we thought it'd be good to let everyone know what exactly we're doing to benefit Steem.
What we're doing to grow Steem
1. Delegating our Steem Power to grow the Nigerian community
We are delegating almost all of our SP, free of charge, to help grow the Nigerian Steem community. Nigeria is a key to making Steem huge and we're currently delegating about 28,500 SP. You can read more about that here.
2. Sending 1,000s of unique visitors to Steemit
We send 1,000s of unique visitors from Facebook to Steemit every week. You can read more about that here.
3. Growing our social media presence and YouTube channel
We are still under 500 YouTube subscribers but our channel is growing fast. We're currently adding 20-35 subscribers per day. Once we grow our audience outside of Steem, we'll be able to promote the platform to an even larger audience. Because of this curiosity factor, we've had the opportunity to tell dozens and dozens of interested people about Steem.
Curious about what goes into producing our videos? You can read about that here.
4. Working on an SMT project
We can't share a lot of details at this point but Steem is a full-time job for both of us. In addition to producing videos, we are spending hours each day contributing to another Steem-related SMT project.
5. Word of mouth
We're a young couple who aren't even close to retirement age. Everyone we talk to is wondering how we're earning money while traveling, which is a perfect segue into telling them about Steem/it.
We use this action cam to shoot our videos.
