Wow am I lucky to have stumbled upon your channel. Couldn't have asked for a more honest, informed, and down-to-earth guide! Thanks dude!

Thank you for posting these videos! I found your channel a few days ago when I searched for places to see in Mexico as I’m an American learning Spanish and wanted to learn more about the country to see if I might want to visit anywhere particular and just learn more about Mexican culture overall. It’s so nice to see how beautiful and vibrant Mexico really is. I really want to travel there now!

Keeping Puerto Escondido & Mazunte to the end and low-key - Brilliant ;)

Thanks. I've been looking for a good video on Oaxaca and yours seems to be the most informative, and best presented one.Cheers.

All the syllables in "Oaxaca" are pronounced, and the "x" is an aspirated "h" sound - wah ha ca. I've heard the "a" sound pronounced two ways in different Mexican accents, either "a" as in "cat" or "a" as in "car". I like your videos a lot - less touristy stuff, more walking around and seeing the local things which are interesting.

Great video, as always! I think at the moment you're my favourite Mexico related youtuber!
I watched Crosby Grace's Day of the Dead vlogs before, and great to see it from another perspective, as well as all of the other interesting places around Oaxaca. Definitely on my travel list! :)

Also, side note... how come I never connected that "guacamole" is basically guaca-mole (aguacate + mole)?? I can't believe it haha, you shortly mentioned it and my brain went 💡
...and I also did think you are eating a tuna ice cream for a second!

My husband is from the Netherlands. We live super close to Mexico and go there at least once a year❤. We have travelled all over the world and we agreed that the US is probably the most beautiful country in the world. I recommend you check it out😊 (although it won't be cheap compared to Latin America or SE Asia)
