Despite a really rough start to my time in Mexico City, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I wasn’t sure what to expect from Mexico, really, as I hadn’t really had any friends or family travel here – all I really knew was that I was excited to try authentic Mexican food. I remember getting…Continue Reading A week in Mexico City
“Me llamo… Jack!” Departure and Arrival The rest of the Kiwis and I left for Sydney from Auckland on January 6th to start our Mexican journey. Little did we know our travel there would be a bit longer than expected. Our first flight was three hours. This was no problem as I have been on…Continue Reading iWinterMX – week UNO
05/01/2023 – 15/01/2023 It was an uneasy start for our journey to Mexico. After transitioning through multiple places, from Auckland → Sydney → Los Angeles → Mexico City, feeling upside down during three days of “sky life” and experiencing flight delays and baggage problems, etc., we finally arrived in Mexico. For the first week, we…Continue Reading Week 1 – Ciudad de Mexico
I think I’m gonna write these blogs like a day-to-day in my life of what I did, even if it is short, so let’s get started. Friday 6th January 2023 I think I woke up like 3:30 am NZ time to leave my house in NZ at 4, to get to the airport at around…Continue Reading NUMERO UNO SANTA FE
A foreign country is such an experience, and the travel there was no different. We flew through Sydney and Los Angeles in order to get to sunny Mexico, which took a lot out of us and really brought us closer together as a team – the delays, missing flights and luggage caused us to have…Continue Reading new year, new country
Week One//Mexico City After a long 36+ hours of traveling, five hours delay, a missed flight, overweight bags, confusion in airports and a lot of customs, ten Kiwis finally left an airport and took an hour’s drive to their hotels with two lovely hosts from the University. Despite some tired grumbles we all very quickly…Continue Reading Viva la Mexico!
Hola from Mexico! And, of course, to start things off, flying just didn’t go the way we planned. Mechanical issues and delays saw us missing our connecting flight from LAX to Mexico City. But all is well and good and we arrived in the hotel at the lovely hour of 12am in the morning. Let’s…Continue Reading Week 1 iWinter Mexico – Tec de Monterrey
Our programme began with a long 12 hour flight to the City of Lost Angels. Unfortunately during our departure from Los Angeles, we did in fact lose some of our angels along the way. Due to our delayed flight, being the last people to receive our checked bags, and the massive lines for L.A security,…Continue Reading Bienvenido a Mexico
After many hours of travelling, our group arrived in Mexico City at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, the 4th of January. We were met very enthusiastically by Natalia, our Ibero representative. This lovely greeting set the tone for the days following. Thursday was a free day for us to get situated in our hostel and the…Continue Reading Adjusting to our new lives in Mexico City!
Hola! A single word, to greet someone, to acknowledge the presence of another human being. The same, but not quite the same. Complex and experienced in our own unique way, so diverse, somewhat extra-terrestrial, but finding common ground through things that are relative to our existence together in this world. It has been an…Continue Reading Another World, Another Beginning, Another Understanding.
