Explore Mexico: CDMX 101 Online
In this virtual journey to Mexico City, Lydia Carey will show you the ins and outs of traveling to, and living in, the second largest city in the Americas. She'll discuss markets, museums, street food, what makes this chaotic and colorful capital tick, and why it should be high on your travel list. She'll share practical information as well as a bit of history and cultural context for this incredible city. A Chicago-area native, Lydia has lived in Ciudad de México for the past 14 years. She operates a tour company, has written on travel topics for a wide range of print and online publications, and is the associate editor of Luxurylatinamerica.com. She blogs at MexicoCityStreets.com.
