Welcome to a day in my life currently living in Puerto Escondido (Oaxaca, Mexico). I started off the day heading to Selina to get some work done, before heading back to the apartment to complete a bit more. Then David and I had some food and went snorkelling on Playa Manzanillo. We managed to just catch the sunset at Mirador las Tortugas. And finished off the evening with some Middle Eastern food at El Sultan and then late night tacos!

I am from México and first of all, I'm reeeeeally impressed by your Spanish, keep it up! And these videos with David have been great, as long as you keep enjoying, that's what matters

[@bethfowler2845]

Christianne!! Your Spanish!! You've inspired me to learn and Im trying to get to Spain to be an au pair!! I was supposed to be there from the 8th January but restrictions have been extended to at least the 2nd... I'm hoping that my visa comes through in time and I can leave then. Your videos are getting me through lockdown, thank you so much!!

[@britneyy3867]

Right!! She was showing out lol!!

[@woolypuffin392]

I would highly advise you to wear a full face helmet. Most damage on the head when having an accident is in the chin area (30%). Bikergirl here 😉 If you get a helmet with pads that can be taken out and washed, sweat isnt such a big deal.

[@BackpackingBananas]

I wanted one 😭 but none of them fit on my head at the same time as wearing my glasses which I legally need to drive. Need to invest in contact lenses!

[@thegavinchase]

One of the best sunsets we’ve had! Thank you 🥰🥰

I also can’t wait to travel again!😍 I started my travel channel in 2020 but for obvious reasons wasn’t really able to travel much since then😅

[@pswilson1000]

Every video you are posting from Mexico, I’m adding places to go and things to do this summer. You’re a great travel guide!

[@MrAsalaz]

So much fun thanks. Going through your other videos now… talk to you soon!

[@saratemp790]

What a fun day. Coffee, lunch, beach, dinner, sunset. What more can you ask for. Interesting that they also have foreign food restaurants in Mexico.

[@BackpackingBananas]

For sure, loads of Mexican restaurants but also sooo many international ones too!

[@NomadShifu]

Puerto Escondido is a town in Oaxaca known for its big waves and excellent surfing conditions. Puerto Escondido hits a sweet spot: moderately developed, laid back, well-touristed but still blissfully free of the sterile resorts and hordes of spring breakers in Cancún and other hotspots.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Love it here!

[@NanOjaviAlvaRez]

You guys were chasing the sunset! Glad we got to see it!! Great video!

[@anuarcvs5120]

En julio voy a visitar Puerto escondido y Mazunte for a first time 😍

[@carolmorris5815]

it's so great to see puerto again, really enjoying your videos! So funny, that's basically the exact routine I had when I was there, and I also stayed in Bacocho! If there is one thing I recommend you do while you are there - go down to the marina and hire one of the boats there to take you out to see the dolphins. Just off shore from Puerto - we saw at least 100 dolphins at once and a couple of whales and many turtles - it's one of the best things I've ever seen!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Just did that this morning! 😍😍

[@starlightsturdy8590]

I did that yesterday 💜♒️🎉

[@sannelambert579]

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks pal ❤️❤️❤️

[@britneyy3867]

I like your beer thoughts in Spanish, lol! I have been working really hard to practice and I understood 90% of what you said so yaaay!!!

[@xDjodie]

I look forward to your videos and literally get so excited when you’ve posted. It’s such a nice escape during these times to watch 😍 also I know you got your jeans whilst travelling but do you know the brand? They look so soft I need a pair 😭 I’ve been on the look out for those stripe trousers since your Greece vlog but nothing even comes close 😭

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks ☺️ they are H&M xx

[@lara_xy]

Those sunset shots are like therapy compared to cold and gloomy Netherlands with a night curfew 💕

[@hillbillbob9131]

You are a true YT professional. No one else compares to the quality of videos. Your accent is so catchy.

[@BucketListTravellers]

You picked a great spot for sunset. Stunning! 🤩

[@americafarias6448]

Your Spanish is so great! These videos make me miss Mexico. I’ll have to go back and visit my family again when it’s safe.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Gracias 🥰

[@claudiavonhofe5755]

Highly recommend the falafel wrap from the Middle Eastern place !! I may have ordered it three times in two days..

[@Wheresgiovi]

Omg! I’m so glad I came upon ur channel. One of my fave movies is “The Producers”. “If you got it, flaunt it!”

I loved puerto Escondido! The rotisserie chicken shop 😍 and the baby turtle releases!! And the strip of bars. such a chilled place

[@TheDrunkenTourist]

From a fellow vlogger on a smaller scale, I love your work. Great job! Love your videos!

[@misssnowfoxx]

Christianne, would you mind telling us what glasses you have! I remember you saying in an insta story that they were from Spec Savers but I'm dying to get a shape just like that and I have no idea what to look for!

[@gabii8369]

kylie minogue :D I was buying glasses 2months ago and actually tried the lighter colour ones Christianne got but they looked really bad on me, so got much smaller ones.

[@gabii8369]

Please, let us know how did you spend Christmas and NYE with David, would be cool to see a video of what did u guys do :)

[@tomb1598]

Just came cross your site. I am hooked!!! I subscribed and look forward to binge watching your vids while we are kept indoors by the smoke drifting in from the wild fires in British Columbia.

[@MrDarilon23]

It was strange to see a line up to get to Carizalillo. I've been there during Semana Santa and had no lines, although the beach was pretty busy. Don't miss going to Playa Coral at the North end. Also look for the tourist information booth across the street from Hotel Rocamar. One of the ladies that works there does walking tours of the town that are not to be missed. You'll see a lot that you'd never find on your own as well as a lot that you could find yourself, but wouldn't know a lot of information about. If you get time, get out to Chacahua for a day trip or a couple of days.

[@chema8360]

Well, I had a London summer crush here in Mexico City and there is some British idiosyncrasy at its finest "Do we need to pay that much for a breakfast?" Miss you, Susan, I still have your jeans somewhere around...

[@darr1954]

Just subscribed to your lovely channel and am very much enjoying it! We've traveled to Mexico many times and absolutely love the country, food, culture, and people. We backpacked through Europe in our 30s and are now in our 60s and have no plan on stopping!! Your videos - and great travel hacks - are inspiring! Thank you!

best thing you can do in puerto is getting into surf and make friends with the locals, then you can go with them to the "secret spots"...

[@gordogringo668]

I see you enjoy coffee . Take a day trip to Pluma Hildago , they grow some of the best coffee in the world . You can have it custom roasted . I think you can purchase in Puerto , at the market in town , but not the same , as what you get on the plantation .

[@gobir_roz]

So nice. I'm mexican and my dream is to travel through all the country on my motorcycle. You should consider visiting the baja peninsula and other parts in the sea of cortez coast, san carlos nuevo guaymas in Sonora for instance is absolutely stunning. (Though be more careful in northern mexico and a couple other states, it is definitely more dangerous up there, I'd advise against driving in sinaloa, tamaulipas and guerrero as those places are very dangerous right now)

[@otavioaugusto9385]

Great spot to see the sunset!

[@ElOrlyOrozco]

How long did it take you to ride the scooter? I’m visiting with my gf this week and we’re considering to rent one.

[@RealCatch22]

Glad you're enjoying the Puerto as much as we are! Are you guys still here? And where is that sunset spot?! Looks amazing! Got a map/pin? Thanks!

What's the name of the accommodation you stayed in please.

[@mikehatch2114]

What time does the sausage get put in the oven ?

[@franisgenius]

Are you sure the WiFi isn’t based off 3G/4G? Lots of lower income countries have this as their main form of WiFi, but it not necessarily obvious but often have data caps after which it will just *stop* or run veeeery slowly if subject to a fair usage policy. Ran into this issue in an AirBnB in Sri Lanka

[@lenacloos7668]

“I don’t have my mask”: the sentence most said in 2020 (And I guess that continues in 2021) 😃 Again, David was hilarious, the way he blew out the smoke in the beginning was hilarious (to me at least). I really enjoy those videos, they help me improve/ check my Spanish 🤓

[@VaughnCampbell]

the best food you will ever have is in Huatulco! I can give you some recommendations as i have returned every year for 9 years.

[@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon]

Please tell me! I’m planning my trip 😍 btw if you’re looking for something to watch, I have a channel with vlogs from London as well❤️

[@VaughnCampbell]

@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon In Huatulco you have to go to the restaurants Mercader, Rocoto, and Terracotta. These three places are worth the drive alone. Terracotta has amazing breakfast too! Mercader and Rocoto are supper only, but absolutely amazing and good prices. It is also worth the drive to check out San Jose del Pacifico up in the mountains. Super fun to do the Temezcala and a little mushroom hike. They have a restaurant up there that has amazing pasta and probably 50+ types of Mezcal. It is a amazing road up there to take on the motorbike from Puerto. I just flew back to Canada from there a week ago. I totally regret not staying. DM me if you want some more recommendations.

[@ariesakacia9695]

I would love if you posted weekly! Like scheduled posts! I love your videos so much and love when you pop out vidoe after video but im so sad when there isn't a video for a couple weeks. I know the wifi situation is difficult, when just thought I would leave a suggestion!

[@pauljhowden331]

I am looking to spend 4/5 months of the winter in Mexico starting in October. But I am slightly worried about the food , on holidays to Mexico I have never had any problems with tummy trouble but others had .

[@fofofofo3076]

The food is delicious

[@thee_calamity]

It’s most likely that their stomachs are not used to the change in ingredients in the food. The food in Mexico is less processed than the food in the US. It’s actually more fresh and natural. I’ve been to Mexico a few times and I’ve only had stomach problems two nights out of several weeks. On the contrary, when I went to London for only a week, I had stomach problems for three days. Most likely the ingredients.
