mexico

This came in the mail to our office:

I figure it would be a great place to spend the colder months or for even longer term, but have some questions. 1. Are there any laws against busking? 2. Do they like American songs there, or should I learn some local stuff? 3. Can you make enough money to get gas and food through busking, and...

Been into this band alot lately, very heavily wolfpack/wolfbrigade influenced d-beat crust from mexico, but very well done with some originality in the mix throughout the album as well. Check it out!

Hey Guys, I'm gonna go back to Mexico and visit a massive punk rock flea market, then write an article about it afterwards. I'm kind of curious about what subculture and being a punk is like down there in general, as I get the impression they treat it different than we do. It almost seems...

I was wondering if it's at all possible to enter either Canada or Mexico with just a state ID as opposed to a passport. And if so would the US let me back in? I'm from California if that matters.

I'm headed back Mexicoway in feb and bringing a video camera and some gear to make a really rad documentary! I have the luck to be able to tag along with my solid amigo Julio who's driving all around the country with a crazy plot to scam a bunch of casinos, but I'm gonna be hitching around as...

So from what I can tell, street food is damn cheap and looks good from what I can see. But I keep seeing people to stay away from it or you'll get mad sick. Just wondering how true this is, and if there is anything in particular to avoid. I plan on getting typhoid/hep a/yellow fever shots if...

Today i was pulled over in the truck by a lady cop on a scooter. The truck isn't technically legal for me to drive. It is registered Anapromex which means it can only be driven by the Mexican who registered it. I'm a very tattooed white gringo driving that truck so thats a big no no here. I...

Hey everyone! I'm new to StP, but I have been traveling for almost a year, up and down through Guatemala, Mexico and the USA. I'm a writer and filmmaker, but I'm mostly unemployed. I'm hitching down to Nicaragua soon and I will probably go back up to the USA this year at some point and explore...

Annndd i speak spanish! Muy...

Has anyone done extensive traveling from the US or Canada in a van or RV deep into Mexico, Central America, or even as far as South America?

Just wanted to post a heads up that Mexico is insanely easy to travel in and there is pretty much no reason not to come here. Everyone on this board should get a passport and escape America for a little while.

Well, I got a one way ticket to Mexico City, and no plans on what to do from there. I figure I'll stay at a cheapass hostel there and make some friends. Might help to have some vague ideas though - anyone hitched or hopped around before? Can you recommend cities that are chill, cheap, and...

Anyone know of any? Hippie or not, where not money, but time, is how you earn food/shelter and what not. I am looking to join one eventually, one that plants it own food, Prefered in Mexico or Central America as warmth is always an issue for me, i need the sun! Thanks in advance.

Walking, what is it?

So i have been to Chiapas before and actually attended a social world media day of sorts type get together by the Zapatistas to keep the awareness high worldwide and i guess i am curious how many of you other travellers have been to Chiapas and had encounters with the Zapatista movement? Has...

Hey, so i have been down there a few times but im finally going to go when im off probation with NO money rather than hostel money this time. For those of you(which im assuming is most) who crossed the border on foot or got let off at the border as soon as you got into Mexico, how many of you...

So i know a few people have done it on minimal budgets on here, i would like to hear your story, details and everything:) No matter how long it is.

So the most recent trip i went on was to chiapas mexico with my girlfriend and we travel around for just about two weeks. Here some photos from the trip.

Lets say you are in mexico, no money and you are thirsty as all hell, you cannot drink the "local" water without getting sick from the pipes or protozoa or whatever is in the water, so what has worked for you? flying a sign that asks for agua? theft? water is my main concern down there when i...

What would I need to know about doing this? Is it especially difficult? Is there a big stigma or unfriendliness regarding hitchhikers? Any general tips, advice, things to loom out for, things to know? Any help would be great. I have a passport.

Thoughts???

Driving around Mexico in a van with my little dog and boifrann. Any tips? I hear the cops try to hustle ya on your cash? Any ideas for cool sights to see or places to be cautious of? Any information is wonderful.

So I've been planning to go to Mexico for a while and I'm leaving in a week but it doesnt even crossed my mind about getting immunizations until today. Anybody knows anything about the immunizations I need to go to Mexico? Is it obligatory? Can I get them in Mexico instead of the US?

Looking for info on border towns specifically. When thumbing into Mexico which ones should I avoid? Any advice on how to get through safely. Also any advice on going through customs on foot. Any info on hot spots like collectives, punk houses, squat actions would be way useful.
