My 11 Best Travel Tips Articles of 2018
In 2018 I finished up three years of travels around Mexico and Central America. The first half of the year I found myself a bit ‘stuck’ in Costa Rica and Panama, specifically from late January through mid-July, due to my whopping hotel reviews assignment of over 100 luxury and boutique hotels in those two countries.
When I finally completed my assignments, I flew to Phoenix, Arizona (my first visit there!) for a big family birthday bash. From there I traveled down through northwestern Mexico (a new region for me) en route to Mexico City, where I caught a flight to Cuba.
I spent all of October in Cuba then returned to Florida, USA in time to vote in the midterm elections and to spend three major holidays with family (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s).
As to be expected, all my travel tip articles for 2018 relate my first-hand advice on Central American countries and Cuba. I’d previously written extensively about Mexico, so in 2018 I only wrote one article – about my attempted budget travel through Sonora, which is an entirely different thing from travel elsewhere in Mexico.
During the year, I detailed the costs of budget travel in four countries, added three ’10 Free Things to do in…’ articles for key destinations in the region, and wrote additional travel tips for Cuba.
Without further ado, here are my best travel tips of 2018:
1. Costs of Budget Travel in El Salvador
2. Costs of Budget Travel in Nicaragua
3. Costs of Budget Travel in Costa Rica
