Hey everyone, so I have officially been home for about 2 weeks now. I have to say I do miss being abroad. I miss having something fun and exciting to do every day. Looking back, I wanted to study abroad because I wanted to step out of my comfort zone. I was ready to visit […]

This past weekend I went to Capulalpam de Mendez, a town in the Sierra Juarez mountains. The town is known for its traditional medicine clinic and ecotourism.
