Mexico is a beautiful, diverse and incredibly large country. I think many people are kind of hesitant visiting Mexico by the fear of others or stories they hear somewhere. But the truth is that if you’re a tourist – backpacker or otherwise – you’re almost immune to most things that actually are dangerous. And if you run around in the wrong areas with branded clothes or expensive jewellery or forget to zip up your zips and bags, it’s a) your fault and b) a pickpocket in Europe could steal that something from your pocket too. Apart from that, what many people don’t realise is how incredibly big Mexico is. As the states are very different from each other – basically like in Germany (example NRW and Bavaria – just saying) – the country is incredibly diverse and has an incredible amount to see and travel through. There are also many different cultures and landscapes. You don’t have to travel Mexico as extensively as I did, but… Mexico is not just Mexico City or Cancún (if you’ve only been there, you haven’t actually been to Mexico, btw, but more on that later), Cabo San Lucas or Tijuana (same as Cancún – both), then you simply haven’t got to know the real and diverse Mexico. But no worries, I’ll introduce you to Mexico step by step 😉 And I really have seen a lot, trust me 😀
