Viva Mexico! As many of you may know, I spent several years living in the beautiful country of Mexico. In this travel memory, I will share with you some of the beautiful encounters I had during my stay.

Off the Beaten Path in Mexico

I’ve spent several years in Canada, living in various parts of the very large (but not so populated) country.

According to Google, Canada’s population is just over 38 million inhabitants as of June 2021.
