➡ ABOUT ME
My name is Crosby and I'm a solo traveler, digital nomad, and full-time traveler! After a few corporate jobs throughout college, I quickly realized that the 9-5 lifestyle wasn’t for me. So in 2019, I took the leap into the freelance world and started traveling the world full-time - from solo traveling Mexico to road tripping Portugal to living in a travel trailer, I'm absolutely addicted to this lifestyle. Right now, I'm back in Mexico and sharing my adventures here on CZcams!
Be sure to subscribe and follow me on Instagram for daily updates! Thanks so much for watching!

I am Mexican and I absolutely LOVED your video. I love the respect and appreciation that you have for our culture and the fact that you have taken the trouble to learn our language. Keep up with your wonderful work!
Gracias y abrazos!
It’s no trouble! Being able to speak Spanish has made traveling SO much more fun and enriching 😊 thank you for watching! 🇲🇽
Finally someone recognizes how rude and dehumanizing taking pictures and recording videos without permission can be.
Many tourist specially from western country think when they travel abroad locals are just there to entertain them and please them, being disrespectful and feeling entitled on foreign land is so annoying to see, specially when they do it just for views or likes.
Thank you 🙏🏼 for speaking up about it, I have a feeling the more popular this tradition will get, the more tourists there will be among locals.
Btw you look absolutely beautiful with that Catrina make up and flowers.
It really is something I hope people will be more aware of while traveling. Thank you for sharing!
Such a great video!
As a Mexican, I truly enjoy all of them but this one in particular is very special of course. Thank you for your respect and for your love to our country Crosby.
I'm so glad to hear this! Thank you for watching
What an amazing experience! I think it was really cool that you and your friends were invited to dance up on the stage that one night. That looked like a lot of fun! I'm glad you had such a great time with experiencing the Day of the Dead in Mexico! Great video!
It was such an incredible experience!!
I had never realized how shocking it can be to see so much partying in a cemetery hahaha, but it's always like that, they sell all kinds of food, flowers, they have mini concerts, there are games, even movie screenings, contests for the best catrina costume, because the dead are supposed to be enjoying this day too. My father always spills a little of his beer to toast them, he believes that even though they are dead, they deserve to have a little fun hahaha.
Great content. Currently watching ur Bali series. That swing tho.....
Beautiful ❤❤ . Love your videos. But this one amazing. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm so glad to hear that!
Your music choices are always such a slay!! I appreciate your deep respect and understanding of our culture and just how much effort you put into giving context to those who may be new to Mexico. I hope to live in a world where all tourists are like you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
That means so much ❤️ thank you!!
Te veías hermosa de catrina. Oaxaca has Magic in the air. I love You .🎉❤
You look so gorgeous as a Caterina Thank you for loving the Aztec nation especially its traditions & taking us along on your trips to this North American country "México" Greetings from Santa Monica California 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 🇨🇦
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed watching 😊🌺🇲🇽
What's the name of the song 🎵, please
Such a beautiful and well made video. Thank you for respecting the locals and educating us! I can’t wait to go some day
So glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you get to go someday too!
I loved the video! I need to experience Dia de la Muertos in Mexico, I really love that tradition. The face painting was fantastic and I totally appreciate the respect you gave at the cemetery and that you left when you did. Looks like everyone had a great time!
I hope you get to experience it someday!
Another great video, love the fact that you have fun as you work hard to bring us amazing footage...
I love my job so much!!
Wow, great job!! It is definitely life changing.
Wow! Informative Culture experience, very cool ❤
So glad you enjoyed!
Amazing video! 👏🏻
Very nice edit!
Great video Crosby 😊
Yes, its all about RESPECT.
I understand that it can be difficult for many european/euro-american immigrants to put aside their prejudices and eurocentric lenses because they have been fed a very dehumanizing narrative of mexican people by their leaders and the media due to the colonial racist history of their forefathers on native lands but i hope that can start changing and more people open their hearts and understanding
And as this happens i also hope that those who are using cultural appreciation as another tool of neocolonization and domination can come to understand that there is a way to demonstrate genuine cultural appreciation without contributing to these transgressions against the mexican people and their culture
Day of the Death always reminds me of James Bond movie Spectre opening scene.
Living life looks good on you 💕💕
Thanks for being respectful and taking into consideration the people at the grave :)
Of course ❤
Great video!
Thank you!
Wow…. Part I and II are some of the best CZcams videos I’ve seen this year. Kudos to you and your team.
Thank you so much!!
Great storytelling
Wow great experience 😅
gracias por mostrar nuestra cultura al mundo
Es una honra 🙏🇲🇽
Saludos Crosby ! me gustan tus videos en México ! se ve que has tenido un muy buen viaje y que has conocido a muy buenos amigos ! 🌵🐍🦅
Muchas, gracias!! ☺
Estupendo, Crosby!
Such a passionate and authentic way of reporting from your immersion into Dia de los Muertos, and how it has transformed you. Way to go, Scorpionic Guapa!
I also appreciated that you included how the tourist 'invasion' at the graves put you off - and how gracefully and inclusively the Mexicans seem to treat the situation.
It was a very eye-opening experience. Thank you for watching!
Please make a food vlog of mexican streetfood it will be awesome 👍🏻
Rare for CZcams - a sophisticated yet very personal exploration of cultural contrasts. Thank you.
Exactly what I was going for 😊 thank you so much for the feedback!
Via Mexico ❤
🇲🇽
QUE BUENA PEDA !!!!!
Thanks! That video was amazing. We are going next year. I am so excited. I have experienced embarrassing moments when in Spain at a flamenco show (some other Americans were so rude and disrespectful) it was so embarrassing and sad.
Wow thank you so much for the Super Thanks!! 🙏❤ And yes, hopefully tourists become more aware of their actions while traveling
Saludos desde Connecticut
Crosby I would love to visit Mexico one day. I looked at the babble app is there Mexican spanish ?
As Mexican I can tell you I really love your videos ❤❤❤
I'm so glad!
A very nice video. I’m a Canadian that owns a condo in PV. Have many Mexican friends that celibate the dia de muertos. I’m also scared of death- trying to get over that. Thanks.
It can be very a transformative experience!
Crosby I am Mexican! I was raised Catholic. I believe in reincarnation. If it helps think of the "tourist" as a love one from the past coming to visit! The flower the "cempasuchil" the orange marigold is used to attract our love ones with it's smell and color! So it works look at everyone the flowers attracted to come "visit" our beautiful country during this tradition. Maybe we are or "were" Mexicans now or at some other time in the past. But we are all "Mexicans" during these festivities! Awesome video! One of the best I've seen. Thank you for your work. VIVA MEXICO! P.S. ....Death is undefeated! Have fun Living!
Thank you SO much for sharing!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!
$100 pesos! for beautiful face painting is a steal! (about $5 USD) Looks like so much fun.
Love you ❤ from Mom and Dad
HAHA love you guys
Crosby Grace Travels , Thanks Much !.......
It is the largest and most important cultural tradition in all of America 🌎. Not only Mexicans 🇲🇽, United Statesians 🇺🇸, Colombians 🇨🇴, Brazilians🇧🇷 or Argentines🇦🇷 enjoy this celebration, but also Europeans, Asians and some Africans and Oceanians.
👍👍🙏🙏

You looking amazing miamor
Gracias!!
Crosby 🤎
As Mexican, 70 years old, looks like the real meaning of "Dia de muertos" has been changed and it is far away of the real and truly meaning of this day. This day must be a remembrance of our loved ones who are not longer with us physically but who live in our hearts,period.
Parades, drunkenness, bar reservations, street parties, foreign youtubers who only come for the video, for the photo for instagram, to get views, even have even made movies about it.
This is a little bit sad....
I believe things evolve with ages. Just like you have not stayed the same as you were when you were 20 just has this as well has changed. I also don’t agree with the clubs but I do agree that the new generation is finding ways of continuing to honor their loved ones. I think the parades are still a way of celebrating our loved ones who are no longer with us physically.
Yet here you are watching this awesome video…fake ass Mexican
If you watched the whole video, it's clear that I didn't come here just to make a video.
What do you do for work? 💕
Tebes genial miamor
This was a very good video and you look very beautiful woman and you're day of the dead.david,FL
Thank you! 😊
You look divine! Hermosa muchacha
Muchas gracias!
They would not had food stalls at cemeteries if they didn't expect the huge cloud... Don't be too upset, they aren't...
Dia de muertos celebrated in the south of Mexico only 😅😅
Getting the face painted is a gringo cliché
Why did you include locals celebrating with their music and parades with being a problem along the grossly behaved tourists 💀💀 they arent the problem not even a little bit
Muy hermoso video que dios te bendiga
You are as beautiful in the inside as you are in the outside!!
Another great video, love the fact that you have fun as you work hard to bring us amazing footage...
