Hello Mexico,

Back in January 2015, a few of my college friends and I took a trip to Cancun, Mexico. To be honest, I had no idea what to expect. I’ve never ever been outside of the country, I managed to pay $140 for my passport, and somehow had to tell my parents I was leaving the country with my boyfriend. It was surreal, even when I arrived in Mexico. Of course, we had the inclusive all you can eat/drink + hotel and flight for about a little under $1,000 per person.

When we first made it there, they greeted us with a bottle of tequila - now, you must remember that the legal drinking age there is 18 (but no worries for me, I was already 21). We stayed at this beautiful hotel with high ceilings, and they even had trains that took us everywhere we needed to go throughout the resort.
