[Travel Guide] Monarch Butterflies in Sierra Chincua: Bus from Mexico City (CDMX, Mexico)
From CDMX (Ciudad de Mexico City), it is quite possible to get to the Monarch Butterfly Reserves by bus. Between December and March, millions of migrating monarch butterflies find refuge in Mexico. If you are there during this period, do not hesitate to make the trip. Organized tours can be very expensive (for almost the same program as us, an agency gave us a quote at 2600MXN/person including transportation & entrance fees, one night in a hotel – without food). With our independent program, you can get there for 1750MXN/person ALL INCLUDED (2 days, 1 night, departing from Mexico City). The reserves of monarch butterflies are numerous in the state…

Flixbus had been created two years earlier in 2013 in Germany, also taking advantage of deregulation in our neighbors. Flixbus now serves 2500 cities in about 30 countries. All in Europe, except the United States which is also covered. All this at generally very interesting fares, much cheaper than the equivalent trip by train or plane. In addition, bus stations are often relatively central, making it easier and faster to reach the city center than arriving at an airport.…

Resolution 2020: Produce more videos on YouTube
I announced on Facebook a few days ago that I was going to further develop our YouTube channel and I’ve been getting a lot of questions asking me why. It is true. There are already millions of YouTubers, so why go into an activity that takes a lot of time and energy and end up with 10 views per video? The answer is simply: because it makes me kiffer Previously, our YouTube channel was only used to upload videos to illustrate certain blog posts. Or when it came to reviewing products with tutorials, we found it easier to make a video rather than an article. After a few attempts to…
