One of our favorite ways to experience a new place

One of our favorite ways to experience a new place is through its FOOD! And both Mérida and the Yucatán Peninsula as a whole are known for having some unique food items, many of which have Mayan influences.

We spent a few days going on the ultimate Mérida food tour, with the goal of trying as many Yucatán dishes as possible and successfully tried 12 different items 🙌🏼 And many of them were unlike anything we had ever had before!

Here’s a quick list of what we tried and where, but to learn more about the dishes and what we thought about them, check out today’s video! And if you missed our warning at the end of our last video, don’t watch this one hungry 🤪

🇲🇽 Salbutes, Panuchos, and Relleno Negro at Taqueria La Lupita (They also have amazing cochinita pibil!)

🇲🇽 Kibis just outside of Mercado Lucas de Galvez

🇲🇽 Sopa de Lima, Queso Relleno, and Cochinita Pibil at @elmanjarblanco_

🇲🇽 Castacan tacos + tortas at Wayan’e

🇲🇽 Papadzules and Poc Chuc at @lachayamaya (go to their Casona location!)

🇲🇽 Huevos Motuleños at Maiz, Canela y Cilantro (open only on the weekends!)

🇲🇽 Marquesitas: you can find these at stands around town! We tried them at two spots and our favorite was “Venta de Marquesitas” on Google Maps on Calle 60, which is a different one than we show in this video.

Mérida is known for its Mayan history and colonia

Mérida is known for its Mayan history and colonial architecture and one of our favorite things to do here is to just walk around and see the buildings!

Before Mérida was established as a city in 1542, it was once home to 5 Mayan pyramids, which were destroyed and their ruins were used to build many of the buildings around Plaza Grande, including the stunning Catedral de San Ildefonso (the oldest cathedral in the America’s)!

There are also so many colorful homes and buildings on just about any street. And along Paseo de Montejo, which is a road named after the founder of Mérida and inspired by the French Boulevard, you can find a bunch of gorgeous mansions. Some of these are museums too!

Hola from Mérida, Mexico! 🇲🇽 If you missed

Hola from Mérida, Mexico! 🇲🇽 If you missed our last video we flew from Austin to Mérida for two weeks!

Mérida is located on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and is the capital of the Yucatán State. It’s also said to be the safest city in Mexico! We’ve been here for over a week now and have been loving every second and our first video from our time here is now LIVE!

We spent part of a day walking around the city, seeing some of its architecture, eating delicious food and sweet treats, and sharing some of its history. This is such a beautiful and vibrant city and we are so excited to share it with you!

PS: make sure to check out our stories from Mérida! We are sharing more behind the scenes from the trip, including spots that won’t be shared on YouTube.

📸 Some snapshots from our time home!

We got back to Texas a little over two months ago and have spent most of our time working (which we truly enjoy, especially when we can stay put to do so!), but also enjoying time with family and friends all around Texas, DC, and Indiana, going on daily walks with Kona (and having lots of playtime!), working out consistently, making some big van upgrades (that we will share in a few months!), and trying to rest a bit.

If we’re being honest, we were running on empty basically all of last year. Between the constant logistics of van life, nonstop travel planning, long days of filming, late nights editing and working on other tasks, and the pressure that comes from self employment and this social media space in general, our mental, physical, and emotional health were in the 🗑 by the time we made it back to Texas. While we had a BLAST this past year getting to explore some amazing places and are extremely grateful that traveling is our job, it wasn’t without a lot of harder moments behind the scenes.

Our goal for this next year is to focus more on us and less on trying to do as much as possible and create as much content as possible, which is a quick road to burnout. While there will be lots of videos and content to come, we want the moments behind the scenes to be as joyful as the moments on camera, which means doing LESS at times so we can enjoy it MORE.

With that said, we aren’t feeling quite ready to fully travel again, so we have decided to go on a 2 week workcation (a trip where we mostly work, but have a little bit of fun!) to a nearby country that we have visited before. We rented an awesome Airbnb and have a handful of fun days planned, but we mostly will be spending our time trying to continue finishing work from 2022 (plus enjoy some poolside relaxation 😎)!

We hope this is the start of a more balanced 2023 and we can’t wait to share where we are headed with y’all soon! 🙌🏼

It’s time to head back to Texas! Well…if you h

It’s time to head back to Texas! Well…if you have been following along on Instagram, you probably know we have been back for over a month 😉, but in YouTube world, it’s time to head back!

And in today’s video we conclude our 10 insanely epic months on the road and make it back home. It’s a short video, but instead of rushing straight back to Austin we tried to enjoy a couple spots along the way, including visiting a place we have always wanted to go to, Caddo Lake, which is a lake full of gorgeous cypress trees that is a ton of fun to canoe on (our first time canoeing)! 🛶

And of course we couldn’t cross back into Texas without getting some Texas BBQ (is there any better welcome home gift than that?!) 😋

While this may end our adventures for the year, we still have a 2022 recap video coming your way soon! And MANY more adventures to come in 2023 after we rest up a bit 🙌🏼🥳

Want to see some of southern Oklahoma's BEST scene

Want to see some of southern Oklahoma's BEST scenery? Here's how to have an EPIC Southern Oklahoma road trip! ⬇️

🚐 STOP 1: Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge
The Wichita Mountains rise up to over 2,000 feet tall and tower over the area's otherwise flatter terrain. While in the Wichita Mountains we suggest checking out the Quanah Parker Dam, hiking Elk Mountain, the Forty Foot Hole, and Bison Trails, plus seeing the sunset from the top of Mount Scott. Make sure to check out the town of Medicine Park and we hear eating at Meers Restaurant is a must!

🚐 STOP 2: Turner Falls
This is Oklahoma's largest waterfall at 77 feet! And they are beautiful! There is a fee to visit the park, which varies by season and day of the week (summer weekends are pricey and VERY busy), but our visit on a weekday morning in the fall was extremely peaceful.

🚐 STOP 3: Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies
If you love pie, you MUST try Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies! As they say, everything is better fried and pies are no exception. They have savory and sweet pies and we loved the blackberry and polish pies!

🚐 STOP 4: Chickasaw National Recreation Area
Once a National Park, this National Recreation Area is protected because of the mineral properties in its water. You can see springs here, plus waterfalls, and it's a popular swimming spot in the summer!

🚐 STOP 5: Talimena National Scenic Byway
The Talimena National Scenic Byway is a 54 mile drive that starts in Talihina, OK and ends in Mena, AR, traversing the Ouachita Mountains. Along the way there are tons of overlooks to stop at to admire the beautiful mountain views, which blew us away and made us feel like we were out east! It's also a very popular spot for fall foliage and we saw some gorgeous colors on our drive. Make sure to stop at @theouachitasmena at the end of the drive!

🚐 STOP 6: Beavers Bend State Park
This park is located on Broken Bow Lake and the Mountain Fork River and is popular for hiking, water activities, fishing, and camping. We loved hiking the Cedar Bluff Trail and Friends Trail Loop here! Note: the park costs $10 per vehicle.

THIS is Oklahoma?! 😍 For our final adventure i

THIS is Oklahoma?! 😍

For our final adventure in Oklahoma we checked out some of the most beautiful nature spots in the southern part of the state, including mountains (yes, MOUNTAINS in Oklahoma...who knew?!), scenic drives, waterfalls, and beautiful rivers, and we were completely blown away by the scenery. Oklahoma has been full of amazing surprises and this was the best finale to our first (of many) times in the state.

To see all of the beauty, check out today's video!

One of our favorite things about @VisitOKC was all

One of our favorite things about @VisitOKC was all of the ART! Did you know that Oklahoma City was recently named the best city for street art by USA Today? You can find tons of cool murals around town, plus a very unique art experience and more traditional art museums.

⬇️Here are a few places to check out art in OKC!

🎨Plaza Walls (💵FREE, but donations are appreciated!): This is an alleyway with a collection of over 30 murals from over 25 artists, which rotate, so there is constantly something new to see! @plazawalls

🎶Factory Obscura Mix-Tape (💵$20/adult): Holy cow this place is SO FUN! @factoryobscura is an interactive, immersive art experience that showcases the different emotions of creating a mixtape and was hand built by over 30 Oklahoma artists. There are a handful of different areas to explore, including two slides (y’all know we love slides!), karaoke, little nooks to crawl through, and so much more!

🖼Art museums and galleries (💵varies): There are a handful of art museums and galleries around town for a more traditional art viewing experience. We saw some western and indigenous art at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art and Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center also look great!
