In this video I’m breaking down the easiest and cheapest ways to travel around Mexico—because you do not need a luxury budget to move city to city here. I talk through the options that make the most sense depending on your comfort level, your timeline, and what kind of traveler you are (backpacker, digital nomad, or just trying to keep things simple). If you’re the type who gets a little travel anxiety, I’m also coming at this from a “how do I feel safe and not stressed?” perspective. I also share the mindset I use to keep transportation costs low: compare your options before you book, don’t overpay for convenience when a cheaper option is basically the same, and build in buffer time so you’re not forced into last-minute expensive choices. Mexico is super doable on a budget if you’re intentional, and once you know your go-to ways to get around, the whole country opens up. And if you’re traveling with a friend (or you’re meeting up with one), I mention my travel bestie Beau Knight too—because these tips are even better when you’re planning routes together and splitting certain costs when it makes sense.
