From Concrete Jungles to Colorful Oaxacan Dreams: A Guide (Sort Of)
Okay, so you're tired of the concrete jungle, the never-ending honking, and the questionable pizza slices that New York City so proudly boasts? You're dreaming of tacos that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance, mezcal that’ll make you question your life choices (in a good way), and weather that doesn’t involve layering up like a human onion. Well, my friend, you’re thinking Oaxaca.

Flying High or Busting Budgets?
Let’s talk turkey. Or should I say, let’s talk about flights? Because that's usually the big kahuna when it comes to getting anywhere. You can either opt for the splurge and take a direct flight, or you can embrace your inner budget traveler and go on a little adventure with connecting flights.
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
Pro Tip: If you're a fan of spontaneity, consider last-minute deals. You might end up paying less than the cost of a really good slice of New York pizza. But remember, there's a risk of getting stuck on a flight with that one person who talks loudly about their dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian.
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
Grounded and Determined?
If flying isn't your jam, you've got options. You could, theoretically, take a bus. It'll probably take about as long as it takes to watch all the seasons of Friends (and maybe even develop a crush on Chandler). Or, if you're feeling really adventurous, you could hitchhike. Just kidding, don’t do that.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
