🤓 I’m Christine and I keep it REAL💯 and REAL FUN. I do A LOT of research before I travel and I take EVERYTHING I learned and EVERYTHING I experienced and I make the travel videos I WISH I GOT TO SEE. That’s what you’re seeing in this video and I hope it helps!
📱I created the first 100 CZcams videos of this channel using just my iPhone. I both shot and edited everything from my phone (mainly while standing in lines at the airport or sitting on the beach) cuz I’m a non-stop traveler. I’ve evolved (not much! I still film from my phone!) since then. This is a list of…

I don't really enjoy travelling, I don't even know why I'm watching this! Actually I do: you're charismatic and your videos are informative and professional! IMO, if someone is not interested in the video, but is still watching, that means that you're videos are awesome! Keep sharing!
HAHA this makes my day! thank you!
Going to Holbox in December. Looking forward to it. Your video was grand, keep it up.

This video was so helpful, thank you for all the tips! I booked a last minute solo trip to Holbox without doing much research and was panicking a bit trying to figure out transportation. Thanks to your video and links, I'm all set to get to and from Cancun (for
This makes me SO SO EXCITED kelsey!!! ahhhh! have so so much fun and if you post any photos/videos anywhere please tag me so i can see your adventures!!!
Thanks for this. I've been wanting to travel there for a yr now. Maybe 2023 is the yr for me! Fun and entertaining. Points for the dance at the end!

Awesome video, very informative. Thumbs up.
stoked to hear it!

Thanks for the info 👍
yessss!
Thank you for the information
Oooo thanks for watching!
For people who travel internationally outside the US regularly and don't want to mess around with getting a SIM card, I highly recommend Google Fi, a service which allows your cell phone to work without incurring roaming charges.
@make it make sense Google Fi is a service provider and is agnostic about what phone is used on the service. I'm surprised how many US based world travelers aren't aware of this option. It is amazing to step off a plane and have your phone work automatically without incurring rediculous roaming fees for texts and internet usage.
Helpful - and a new one for me! Thanks for adding this!
I just got my Google fi... however I will have to send it back to be used in the us every 80 to 90 days or they will cut off ur international data. But I am country hopping for the next 12 to 24 months
Headed there next week!
yessss love to hear this!
Thank youuuuu
🤘🏽
Hoping to go to Holbox soon great video
EXCITED for you! i love that place!
Great video. Enjoyed seeing all of the great scenery. This looks like a great place to visit. Is there a time that is not too hot?
That's a good question. I'm sure there are cooler times of the year (i.e. dec) but... it's generally hot year round in this area!
I can't wait to be in Holbox!!! Will arrive 08/30/2023!!!!
yes i love to hear this!
I’m going tomorrow
yessss i love hearing this!
Thank you! Very helpful:)
When were you in this area? My husband and I go there in August and we hope for a nice weather. I know there is a rainy season that time 🥺
I have a few more videos about Holbox that give info about seasons.. but I was there end of May 2021!
Girrrl, new subscriber here! Just finished watching your 4 Holebox videos, thank you so much for all of your tips/opinions. Question- in one of your videos, you pointed out you wish you had stayed here(pointing at the map), do you recall the name of a restaurant or hotel? I want to try to aim for that area, excited for my trip mid May. Going to check out your playa del Carmen videos now 🥰 continued safe & fun travels to you!
oh heck yah!! thanks for watching. my guess is .. i put it in the description.. and if i didn't.. then i've done a bad job 👀 😬
Wow, an actually informative travel video :D
WOOOO thank you! and thanks for taking the time to write a comment!!
Hey! I traveled from Merida to Holbox. It was 6 hours ride it cost me $750.00 pesos ($38.00 dollars) . When I needed to came back to México city, I needed to go to Cancun airport and I booked a shuttle which cost $350.00 pesos ($18.00 dollars) which I think it's super cheap, the only disadvantage I see is that there's only a few times available, and at least you need to book one day in advance
OOOO Pam! This is helpful! THANK YOU! And I hope to see you somewhere in Mexico SOON!!!
Ty So much for this video ! Do you know if it’s recommended to go to that area in late March in terms of weather?
Oooh I think I have a weather link in the description of this video! I’m hoping someone else in the comments might know the answer to this and can help out!
Hi love your Videos have been following your channel from long now and have planned my trip mostly via these vedios.. thanks they are very informative. Im travelling to cancun from india next week. Im there for 20days. 10 nights I’m in tulum for sure cancun maybe 4 nights. What other places do you suggest are worth spending time!! Playa del carmen? Holbox? Cozumel? Isla mujeres?
Oooh I hope others have comments and can join in! EVERYTHING I suggest is in this playlist (there are over 30 videos. I love love love this entire area!) safe travels to you!
thanks for the info going to the new st somewhere resort margaritaville for christmas 2022 - i was disapointed to find out this is not all inclusive so i have no idea what to expect food and drink wise. the resort for 8 days cost $4400 + airfare + food & drink + transportation = very expensive trip to a place i havent seen.
ooh! I’m hoping someone else in the comments might know the answer to this and can help out!
Do you recommend getting the ferry tickets ahead of time or wait until you get to the location? Thanks for the video
at the location! not ahead of time!
So cool video ! What month did you visit it? Was weather nice the whole time ? Cheers!
this was in may! it was pretty!
@@ChristineLozada Thank you for replying! Appreciate it! Just booked last week of January '23.. less than a month from today :) hope we gonna have some nice sunshine days haha.
We are so used to one price no matter what here in the US because of interstate commerce rules. I can’t ever think of a tourist price vs local price I’ve ever seen in the US.
Ooo I thought of one! When I lived in NYC I had the "NYC ID" which gave NY residents a special price vs. tourists. OOOOH and hawaii had one. And OOOOH sometimes florida residents get sweeet deals at hotels when showing ID. I guess that's sorta kinda like that. I just wish my discounts were as low as what I saw in Holbox! WOOOOO that'd be amaaaaze!
@@ChristineLozada TRUTH!!!
Heading to Holbox in 2 weeks with my wife and 1 year old
yes! i love hearing this!! 🤘🏽
Say if I have a rental driving to chaquita you think it would be safe to be parked for a couple days
I’m hoping someone else in the comments might know the answer to this and can help out!
how long is the ADO from central Cancun ? thanks
about 2-4 hours depending on traffic!
$150 dollars from Cancun to Chiquila is not bad. It is a 2.5 hour drive. That's actually fair for the service. I do agree they act sketchy. I feel the drivers might not own the actual vehicle and might want to pocket money. On top of that they might expect a tip. And also the way the taxis work, the driver can't take a passenger back from chuiquila to Cancun. Because that ride should go to a taxi driver from Chiquila, So they would return empty. Ive gone twice. I speak perfect Spanish, I was born in Texas and I do see why some of you get scared or get that sketchy feeling. Nothing wrong with asking for a lower price, we do it too. We don't always go with the first taxi driver we see. We say someone else gave us a better deal, and we still said no. Maybe they'll match that amount or lower it. People should think of Cancun as another US city. Prices will most likely reflect those of any city in the US.
helpful! thanks for taking the time to share this!
what if you arrive after the last ferry? is there a water taxi?
good question! I’m hoping someone else in the comments might know the answer to this and can help out!
can you do this as a day trip?
yes, but it’s a trek!
From Cancun to chiquilla by bus only 15.00 DLLs.
oooh HELPFUL! thx!
Can you rent golf car in Holbox i heard they are not renting them anymore
Yes you can! I have other videos on my channel about how to rent them (this was my experience late May 2021... unless something has changed since then)!
Are your prices for shuttles multiplied per person?
i was traveling alone on this trip so i was always referring to just me!
The best map is maps.me an easy gps map that you can use without internet, i use it all the time when i rented a car..drive from cancun to chiquila and valladolid - tulum..so easy !
Oooo i LOVE it when people are helpful in the comments! thanks for sharing this!
@@ChristineLozada No problem !
What was the name of your shuttle company
oooh if the link and info is in the description.. great. if not, it means i dunno!
What are the cheapest hotels in Holbox?
just responded to your other comment!
Would you go there in June?
i'd go anytime... anyone else in the comments have an opinion?
I enjoyed the bus ride from Cancun to Chiquila and back...was not a problem for me..the buses are very comfortable as you know with banos for # 1 only...Holbox like Isla Mujeres floods when it rains and that's one of the bad things...The mosquitoes at night on Holbox will eat you alive...especially if you stay at a resort on the beach...i usually stay in town at a small hotel opposite the park..with a wine shop below..leaving for Isla this coming Monday..
super helpful! thanks so much for sharing this experience!
What’s the name of the place you stay at?
@@claysexauer3000Hotel Arena in town and Flamingo Resort on the beach,both owned by the same family..
