Travel Stories by Adam York

The Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico is a fascinating blend of pristine beaches, turquoise blue water, spectacular nature, ruins of ancient civilizations, and residents who have not forgotten their traditions and culture. This Yucatan trip visits the Maya sites of Chichen Itza, Tulum, Coba, and Uxmal and the colonial cities of Campeche and Merida.

Nicaragua dispelled all myths. It is gorgeous, affordable and very safe. Tourism is a relatively new phenomenon, so you pretty much get the country to yourself. Ometepe Island is perhaps my favorite place on earth. Try to spend as much time as you can there!
