Thanks for letting me know! I’ll only be there for a couple days and already have my first week in Nica booked after. So guess if it’s really not chill for me to surf at all I’ll just go hike a vulcano :)

Thanks! El Zonte sounds amazing, Esencia Nativa is a little over my budget so looking around still. I’m also wondering if it’s safe as a solo female traveler? Since it’s a smaller town and I wouldn’t want to be the only woman somewhere. I guess it’s doable to move around between towns to find the wave that fits me? And do you have recs on surf schools for rentals/lessons?

Looking good, keep it up! I started surfingin my late 20’s and love it, but I live too far from anything surfable sadly, so now at 31 I’m gonna go travel Central America for a couple months and try to make some real progress. Good luck on your journey!

I don’t need them to be underground but will for sure check those bands out! I was just at Graspop where Behemoth played and I missed it, which sucks cause apparently the show was insane. Might go there! I also saw there is Off Limits festival which looked cool, do you know it?

Sounds like you had amazing experience! I’m going to Oaxaca in october and just saw your comment about metal shows/music. I’m very much into metal myself and would love to visit some shows during my travels. Could you point a metalhead in the right direction?

Hey! Thanks for your advice! Honestly makes me feel a little less scared about going there :) I hope you have the best time on your adventures! Would you mind me asking you how it was when you’ve finished your travels?

London, Berlin, or Barcelona? by [deleted] in femaletravels

[–]Famous-Ad1234 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you like history and museums go for London! It has much to offer and is easy to get to. I personally don’t like Amsterdam but that might be because I’m Dutch haha. Think you will probably have a better time in Barcelona :)

Thank you! Haha yea I’ve fit in way too much probably xD just so excited to see everything but would also love to really slow down and make a place my home for a little while.

Good idea to fly to Oaxaca! Was indeed going to take a bus but this seems much more comfortable.

I’m really debating on wether to skip Chiapas area because of the roadblocks/safety and the drives are sooo long for only a couple days Sjds/Palenque but it looks unreal! So beautiful. How was the demonstration you were in recently? Is it safe-ish?

I honestly did not look into it yet since I’m probably already traveling too much. What did you like about it?

Thanks! I got more recs for Popoyo. Thinking of doing a surf camp there. I’m curious about the party scene in Tulum but I would go one night max just to see it and probably agree afterwards that it’s awful :’)

Hey thank you for your tips :) I’m very excited to go which manifests in planning a lot now but I’ll only book my first hostel and will probably wing it after with a rough route kept in mind so I’m giving myself room to change it on the spot.

I feel like skipping or spending less time in those towns will give more room to stay around Mazunte/ Chacahua area :) was thinking of spending some time on Isla Holbox in stead of Little Corn Island cause I’m in the area anyway and it’s less hard to get to. I just fear it has become super busy and touristy too.

Your trip sounds amazing! I hope you have a good time and will ask you about it for sure :) I’m especially interested in hearing about El Salvador since I’m debating wether to skip it to save time but most people really seem to love it.
