Thank you for posting these videos! I found your channel a few days ago when I searched for places to see in Mexico as I’m an American learning Spanish and wanted to learn more about the country to see if I might want to visit anywhere particular and just learn more about Mexican culture overall. It’s so nice to see how beautiful and vibrant Mexico really is. I really want to travel there now!

All these videos are awesome.

Great video, as always! I think at the moment you're my favourite Mexico related youtuber! I watched Crosby Grace's Day of the Dead vlogs before, and great to see it from another perspective, as well as all of the other interesting places around Oaxaca. Definitely on my travel list! :) Also, side note... how come I never connected that "guacamole" is basically guaca-mole (aguacate + mole)?? I can't believe it haha, you shortly mentioned it and my brain went 💡 ...and I also did think you are eating a tuna ice cream for a second!

Great video

Thank you for posting great insight into this beautiful country. Great videos very well presented and in my opinion the best on KZbin. We are planning to go there in Feb 25 is this a good month to travel to Mexico? Weather wise ? Do you have patreon page for subscribers. Cheers

[@indietraveller]

Yeah I really like Feb, it's a great time! It's dry season but not too hot. I don't have a patreon (yet?) but thanks for the thought and kind words :)

Hola, great video, the pronunciation is actually Oh-Ah-Ha-Ka. Gracias

[@indietraveller]

Thanks for the correction :) When googling this it suggested "wha haa kuh" which turns out isn't that accurate!

What transportation did you use from Oaxaca City to Puerto Escondido?

[@indietraveller]

Coach bus. There is a new connection since 2024. Details here: www.indietraveller.co/how-to-get-to-oaxaca-city/

My husband is from the Netherlands. We live super close to Mexico and go there at least once a year❤. We have travelled all over the world and we agreed that the US is probably the most beautiful country in the world. I recommend you check it out😊 (although it won't be cheap compared to Latin America or SE Asia)

Cannot watch this video when the pronunciation of Oaxaca is 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

Sorry, I did my best!
