¡Aquí vengo Cancún! I’m heading to Cancún for a nice vacation in August. Once again, it has piqued my interest in living in another country. Costa Rica really let me down when I went to see if I liked it. The crime rate there is so off the chart it’s not even funny. I felt like I could’ve been robbed, or worse, at any time when I was in public. There was no easiness other than at school or my home-stay. It’s sad because it really is a beautiful country but wearing a watch and being gringo all but guarantees you a bad day.

Hopefully Cancún, being all about tourism, will have a much lower crime rate. It would be nice to find a kickass place to spend a few months practicing my Spanish and working on la playa.
