If all trips leave memories, has one trip ever left a lasting impression on you more than another? Your mood during your stay undoubtedly contributed greatly to shaping your impressions. But that’s not all! Here are our tips for an unforgettable vacation in the Riviera Maya .
Live like the locals
Living at the same pace as the locals, there’s nothing more pleasurable than waking up early and enjoying the city’s awakening at the same time as the locals. (Not to mention the magnificent photos you can take without the crowds).
Furthermore, discovering local cuisine and adapting to local customs goes a long way toward leaving a lasting impression on you and the people you spend time with.
Trust yourself
Are you facing a dilemma? Do you feel like taking a stroll around the city or visiting a shopping mall? Take some time to listen to yourself: what do you feel like doing today? Traveling isn’t synonymous with punishment. Visiting for the sake of visiting without the desire to do so is like taking a trip for a few hours without exerting your mind. You’re in the Riviera Maya to treat yourself and discover things that truly interest you; this will make your trip more unique.
Take your time
The practice of slow travel is spreading, a way of traveling that tends to prioritize quality over quantity. So, slow down! Purposely lose yourself in the city, let yourself be drawn to the streets and shops that catch your eye: wandering from one discovery to the next without a precise plan will allow you to fully enjoy each place you visit, without the pressure of a schedule, and will also help you become more mindful. You’ll see, slow travel, to try it is to adopt it!
Smile
Keep smiling! Eating a banana not only keeps you positive in almost any circumstance, but it also gives you energy. Besides, vacations are too short to be distracted by unnecessary hassles. In fact, be grateful: traveling to the Riviera Maya is an opportunity, not something to be taken for granted.
Finally, create a travel journal to record your impressions, include entries for your various visits and maps of potential restaurants/bars, along with other interesting images. You can also add photos.
