What No One Tells You About Mexico City

🎧 Short on time? Listen on Spotify Mexico City is the capital of Mexico and the largest city in North America, with over 21 million people in its metropolitan area. Can you even imagine a million people? When you're in Mexico City as a tourist, you don’t just picture it—you feel it. Some places you visit are so packed, it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before. The sheer volume of humanity is overwhelming… and yet, strangely exhilarating. It’s chaotic, yes, but there’s a kind of joy in witnessing that much life all at once. I’d stop in my tracks, overwhelmed by the scene—then dive into filming, snapping photos, trying to hold onto the feeling. And yet, in the middle of all that, life carried on. People were deep in their routines, focused, committed, completely unaware that someone nearby was marveling at the beauty of their everyday. You feel that scale immediately when arriving by air—tiny houses stretch endlessly, packed tightly together like a living mosaic....

Red Rock Canyon


Red Rock Canyon is situated just outside Las Vegas. If you like the outdoors, this is one place that must be visited. It is situated 20 miles to the west of Las Vagas.

There are many hiking trails in the canyon and they are  easily spotted by the many parked cars along the side of the road. It is miles and miles of barren land with designated trails. There is no water source anywhere. It is dry land with a lush beauty as far as the eye can see.

I did not see any wildlife during the time I was there. 
The trails may seem pretty straight forward, but one can easily get disoriented with direction on the way back. Little markings with rock arrows can easily bring you back to your car. 

The bright colors of the rock surroundings and various cactus is breath taking. All this beauty and it is not highly trafficked. If you are alone hiking you could feel a sense of loneliness. It could be challenging between endurance and fear at the same time. This in turn lets you conquer your inner fear and self determination. I would carry a lot water if you were to hike for long.



Various colors of rock and different layers tells a story of age and the conditions it has undergone. One can only imagine.
I hiked deep inside and at various stages I was wowed. I also was fearful of the loneliness because it was endless. I cannot say enough of the Red Rock Canyon. If you are over whelmed in Vagas, here is a little get away with that trip.
