Dancing in Mexico

Many cultures in our world simply love to dance. I’m not talking about dancing every few years at a wedding, or even the casual night out bump and grind. I am talking about the folks who pencil it in their calendars three nights a week and won’t let anything get in the way of their dancing. Mexico is one of those places, and if you want to understand Mexican culture, you need to dance. A foreigner can’t possibly understand the values and traditions of Mexico without risking embarrassment and jumping out on the dance floor. Okay, maybe it was just my 6’0 gringo butt who was embarrassed.

Guide to Picking a Seat on a Bus

I recently wrote a post for GoBackpacking.com about "how to choose the best seat on a bus". It is a great guide for people getting ready to board a bus longer than 3 hours, where you will need to take things into consideration such as:

• Aisle or Window seat?
• Front or back of the bus?
• Movie screens
• Time of day
• Proximity of the bathroom

To get the inside scoop on selecting a seat on your next bus ride, head over to GoBackpacking and then send the tips on over to your traveling buddies. Never again end up stuck in the miserable seats on the bus.
