It's sometimes difficult to express a feeling, to share a sensation, a state of mind. Since arriving in Mexico, I've been experiencing life differently. Before leaving, I read a lot to try to understand the change, but nothing had prepared me for the reality. A reality that pleasantly surprises me every day. I think one of the biggest differences is people's smiles. A genuine, warm, welcoming smile. Time to live Here, people take their time. A traffic jam... it's a great oppo

Since my arrival, Mexico has been in full party mode. Any excuse is good enough to celebrate the joy of life. Carnival, Day of the Dead, Cinco de Mayo... In September, it was the "Beginning of the War of Independence" celebration, which lasted from 1810 to 1821, and at the end of which Mexico became independent from Spain. The Beginning of the Revolution Today is the "Beginning of the Revolution" celebration. A revolution that began on November 20, 1910, and lasted 10 years.

For the past few days, I've been relaxing in Valle de Bravo. This little town, nestled in the mountains of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, had caught my eye before I left Canada, and it was even at the very top of my list. I must confess that it hasn't disappointed me; quite the opposite. The town and its inhabitants have even surpassed all my expectations. credit: Luis Guzman Since my arrival, I love everything, I am amazed by everything. From my daily visits to the "mercad

Mexico is a land of contrasts. Scorching heat on the coasts, eternal snow on the mountain peaks, volcanoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes. But Mexico also boasts year-round spring-like temperatures in some regions, refreshing cenotes, and above all, a welcoming, smiling, warm, and sometimes even… fiery population, just like their country.

Since arriving in Mexico, I've been slowly changing my diet. The stalls selling fresh fruits and vegetables, which haven't had to be refrigerated or travel thousands of kilometers before reaching my table, are too tempting. This cornucopia may explain why Mexico has one of the lowest cancer mortality rates in the world. The cancer rate is half that of Canada, and the survival rate is 60% higher. So, it's up to me to take advantage of it. credit: Grok While browsing the market

Just for fun, I decided to tell you about the differences between Thailand and Canada. When you think about visiting a foreign country, you expect to speak another language, but it's much more trivial details that create the real change of scenery. The sun and the moon The first difference is the behavior of the sun and the moon. Yes, yes, here they don't act the same way. Who would have thought. Let's start with the sun... which sets faster. In half an hour, it's over, the s
