After a wonderful 6 weeks in Mexico City where we explored both the city and the Pueblo Magicos surrounding it, we spent 4 weeks in Oaxaca City during Christmas and New Years. Oaxaca city is THE place to experiences authentic Mexican food. It is also extremely affordable as we only spent $26 per person and per day making it the cheapest place we’ve visited since we started to travel the world!
As Mrs. Numbers and I were preparing our nomadic journey around the world, we decided that it would be a great idea to start a blog to capture our journey and share it with our friends and family. What was initially going to be a simple log book of our travels, turned out to be much more than that…

This post is part of a “behind the scenes” series where we will share with our readers the tools, techniques, systems and processes that have helped us get to how we are living today.
For the second post of this series, I will be sharing how we track our expenses and developed a cost of living index that we use to share our travel expenses via our destinations reports or weekend guide articles.
After a wonderful short week in Puerto Vallarta where we experienced Dia De Muertos first hand, we spent 6 weeks in Mexico City. Mexico city was our true slow travel stop in Mexico as it gave us plenty of time to settle down and explore both this big city and the Pueblo Magicos surrounding it.
Tepoztlan is a really small town in a beautiful valley that is famous for its spas, meditation, alternative medicine clinics and a very traditional city center. It is one of the 121 Pueblo Magicos you will find in Mexico. It is a timeless place that will bring you back in time as lots of the city has a very particular charm. It is a place that must be visited and we urge people to consider visiting before it become more popular as the tourists might take Tepoztlan’s magic away!
As we are closing 2018 and our first six months of nomadic travel, I am digging into our finances to answer this question and the results are pretty exciting. In a nutshell in the last 6 months, we slashed our spending in half, rebalanced our spending towards activities that we enjoyed the most, are living a less stressful life and are having the time of our lives.
We discuss the solution we picked to handle our physical mail, how it works, how much does it cost and why you might want to consider it as well – whether you are traveling or not – especially if you never want to receive junk mail again!
After spending a wonderful summer in Quebec visiting both Montreal and Quebec City, we decided to look for a warm winter location and Mexico ended up being the winner. We started our visit of this large country by making a week long stop in the picturesque town of Puerto Vallarta which offers beaches lying between mountains and ocean. Let’s look into what we liked the most, what we recommend, as well as the details about our budget and how the two of us spent $34 per person per day. Let’s go explore Puerto Vallarta!
Whether you are planning a trip to Quebec or are currently living in Quebec, Mont Tremblant can make from a great weekend getaway. Mont Tremblant is a really cute town in the Canadian province of Québec set within the Laurentian Mountains. It’s 2 hours away from Montréal (80 miles) and 4 hours away from Quebec City (230 miles).
Mont Tremblant was actually one of our favorite getaway when we spend 7 weeks in Quebec City as we’ve got plenty of nature time there! So let’s go explore Mont Tremblant for one weekend!
