mexico

Anybody have any experience staying in mexico for a while? I'd like to find a job and work and maybe work on staying there more permanently. Anybody familiar with that process? Is it as much a pain in the ass as we make it for people coming into the US? Either way, people do find ways to do...

This one is quite personal - hometown bud has been missing for over a year. Hoping maybe someone in Southern Cali or Mexico may have seen him. His family and friends miss him so much. His twin brother is lost without him. " San Diego, CA – Authorities are urgently seeking the public’s help...

I am planning on camping long term somewhere along the Rio Grande in south New Mexico, and ideally to sustain myself mostly from the land. Does anyone have experience with this or similar?

I thought a lot of the things on this list were pretty interesting and worth sharing here for anyone interested in traveling in countries outside the USA.

@Daisy and I make a very brief visit to the White Sands National Park in New Mexico. The wind was blowing super hard so the audio isn't going to be that great, but it was a fun little stop that I recommend checking out if you're in the area.

Heading that way soon and looking for some spots

Hello, everyone. I didn't know I was looking for this, but it might be serendipitous that I found it. I've been retired for a few years, living on a small pension. I had to get the budget under control. I'm getting closer to the day when I'll be debt-free - yay! I've not done shitloads of...

Splurged; bored, day drinking mexican artesanals (anal! Ha!) and streaming american football bc it's nice to hear the english. Here's my last few months, traveling in these uncertain times. The big goal this year was to spend 2ish months doing big treks in Patagonia. I worked a shit job all...

I'll be biking to Albuquerque New Mexico next summer from Buffalo New York. What roads should I consider in New Mexico? What roads should I avoid in New Mexico?

New Mexico will go on lockdown starting Mon 11/16 and lasting a minimum of 2 weeks. Nonessential businesses will close. Essential businesses must limit customers. State parks will be closed. Lodging will be closed or limited. When people fail to follow the simple guidelines of...

People have lived here for many thousands of years and some have left signs of their passing that have lasted through the ages. What were they trying to say? We can only guess. These were found while following the trail of the old Butterfield Stage Route in Grant and Luna Counties. Most of the...

Will fill in on things, but up to this point I’m getting pretty good at filming. John E. Ringo got triggered on Instagram...::snaphappy:: I’m only gonna get better....halfway there. Got the entire thing filmed in 4K and gonna take this game to another level when I’m finished and are able to...

I have just returned from two weeks in the wilderness to see the world on fire. Guess I'll be heading back soon as people all around are acting weird, angry and fearful. The Gila National Forest is immense. One hundred miles across from any direction, there is isolation in abundance. I left...

Once the exclusive realm of the Apache, the San Mateo Mountains northwest of Truth or Consequences New Mexico rise in solitary splendor and are managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the greater Cibola National Forest. Vick's Peak rises to just over 10,000 ft at the south end of the 40...

Left the Grand Canyon all the way back in November. Hitched a ride to Vegas, caught another ride from a friend to LA, flew to NC, met up with some old friends, got a ride from my dad as he traveled to SC where my younger brother was graduating from army basic training, rode with dad back to...

Hey! As mentioned earlier, I plan on backpacking from Toronto to Mexico City in the summer of 2020. I'd like to start planning out which route i'm going to take and I honestly have no idea how/where to start. Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks!

Waited by a bridge in Orizaba to catch La Bestia going north. It was around 5am, as our train pulled up with about 50 migrants, mostly from Honduras and Guatemala, escaping gang violence and poverty in their countries so bad that the danger and certain likelihood that they will be assaulted by...

Hi! You may have seen that I am planning a trip from Toronto to Mexico City during summer 2020 in my most recent post. I am still in the intro part of my research and reading on Hitchhiking and all that I need to know. I'm going to be posting all around the forums to gain information and share...

Hi! I'm looking to HitchHike if the circumstances allow it or otherwise drive from Toronto, Canada to Mexico City, Mexico in the summer of 2020. I have zero experience with HitchHiking and have never been to Mexico. I would greatly appreciate any advice on which routes to take, which areas to...

I've been researching bike touring in Mexico and I'm looking for any info from people that have toured down there. I came across this which is pretty helpful.

I'm in Dallas. I'm wanting to get West and I'd like to see Mexico too. How can you freight hop to Laredo, now with the troops and the walls? How does anyone?

I don't speak Spanish. I have a dog. And my visa for the states expires next week! Talk about flying green. Anyone have any contacts - hostels, friends, woofing, - or personal thoughts on Oaxaca? Or anywhere else in southern Mexico? All opinions encouraged.

What is needed for railhopping or train jumping amd how do I get it? Coming in through the Memphis Greyhound tomorrow from Oklahoma. Got one more day here. Always wanted to see Beale St and try some of that famous BBQ, get some pics, see the sights and roll out to Mexico City or Toronto. Winter...

Has anyone ever tried this without being killed by cartels or having to pay up? How do the migrants leave Guatamala and Honduras and how can a guy go to Costa Rica or Panama for the Winter/Spring?

For this installment of Latitude Adjustment Podcast I speak with David Vrabo, in Tijuana, and I think you'll find our conversation helpful in contextualizing some of the sensationalized news headlines floating around out there. From David's 4,000 km bike trip, to the caravan that's been moving...

Riding La Bestia As I was walking down from El Centro after being dropped off there the night before by Frank who swore he saw me with my friend Forrest hitchhiking at the i-8 on-ramp next to the In-n-Out three years ago, I get picked up by a lovely woman that drives me into Mexicali, feeds me...

Hey everyone i'm Scott from California. I'm originally from the central valley and from 2011- 2015 i've been working a lot of dead end warehouse jobs and really just got tired of a repeatative paycheck to paycheck lifestyle where I always felt trapped and anchored in, it was depressing and it...

I'm going to be stuck in Roswell for a few days waiting for a group I'm meeting up with. Anyone know anything about things to do, places to sleep?

Arlene - The grandest saddle mule to ever walk a trail. Back in April of '05 I had just returned to Arizona after being gone for a year working in the tiny Middle Eastern country of Qatar. The company I worked for was the 2nd worst employer I have ever had. Anyway, being back in the USA I tend...

Howdy everybody. I have felt visceral disgust at the white shit that surrounds me and everything up here in the woods of Upstate New York - the locals call it "snow". Even just going out for a smoke becomes a military operation. My desert boots have soaked to the core, and I start to think: I am...

So if anyone is interested at some point during the weekend i was going to take a day trip into Mexico. I'll have room for three, Be sure to have your passport. also if people have suggestions of anywhere to go within 3 hours of mexicali that would be awesome.
