I'm Mexican, born and raised. And seeing my country the way you portray it, made me cry. It's beautiful 💕 There are many terrible news about my home, but honestly, we are so much more than that. We are more good than bad, and we fight every day to demonstrate who we truly are. Thank you, Isabel, it was a memorable video.

Hey Isabel and Logan. You're doing exactly what I've done most of my life. Just winging it. The best way to go. At 17, my bestie and I saved money, bought backpacks, pup tent, cooking gear, got passports, Youth Hostel passes, student fare tickets on Pan Am, and took off for a summer in Europe. I ended up staying there. My bestie died in our 30s, so it means even more that we did this. "The days are long, but the years are short." Keep doing these adventures, because once children come, the nature of adventures must change, because life does.

Enjoy Mexico Isabel!!!! and Logan!!! I'm Canadian and been living in Mexico in Baja California for the last 28 years!!!! yep: lots of news of fear ...dont read it! just go with the flow, people in Mexico are so welcoming and nice xxxx

I’ve spent time in those mountains above Oaxaca. So many colorful crafts and beautiful traditions. The pace is so slow and the faith so pure. Love it.

Loved it!! 😍 as a mexican (who lives in mexico) I would suggest always being alert when you go out, especially alone (try not to). Take care of all your belongings and keep them out of others’ sight!! Enjoy❤️

Your video has this soothing peaceful vibe. I think its not only the place but also yourself. You all seem like so calm laidback kind of people. You are beautiful people yourself not only the locals. Thats why you feel so good there. Cause you’re alike the vibe of those mountains

Thanks for sharing. So proud of you two for taking this trip last moment. Glad you two were able to experience out of the country travel. I just love how much you two care about one another and I love how much Logan adores you.

melted heart hearing Logan sing that strain " I can't help falling in Love with you" Hearing this on Valentine's Day is so metaphysically sweet. Thank you both for travel to this place and sharing the experience.

Good video and nice village, off the beaten track so to speak.. Went Mexico quite few years ago now Yucatan peninsula was great climbed the Pyramid saw all the ruins and did lots of excursions while I was there would love to go back and do it at a slower pace this time.. Stay safe! And have a good time! Cheers from London 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

I’m Mexican and since 3 years ago I’ve been wanting to go there to see how the produce the Khadi products and to disconnect. So nice you came to Mexico. 🌿💙🌿

Those flowers you were smelling are Agapanthus also called African lily,they grow all over the Canary islands. We want to go to Mexico too for a holiday,I have heard a lot of good things about Oaxaca. The green stuff is Avocado and it is called guacamole. Enjoy

I love how safe you feel doing this so spontaneously. Also how you travel together, but then continue by yourself, love this energy.

I have traveled to 24 countries, primarily staying with locals and venturing off the beaten path. It's such a rich and heart-filling way to experience different communities and integrate into different ways of life. It's wonderful that you found that little village, and the textile work was wonderful to watch.

Hi Isabelle, Mexican here, thanks for portraying Mexico outside of the chaotic news ♡ I've lived in Oaxaca for most of my life, slow life and beautiful beaches. I suggest you to try San José for the magic shrooms and the beaches are just spectacular (Mazunte). if you're wondering about the narco stuff this a more north problem, here the social problem you will find is poverty and gentifrification. You know what they say you attract what you are, as long as you live in a free scare mindset enviroment you will be just fine. Enjoy Mexico and don't forget to tast our sacred cacao, oaxaca has the most amazing cacao ceremonies, coffee beans, and textile! xx

Oaxaca is a beautiful state! I've been there twice. Oaxaca city is my favorite City. And the people I absolutely adore. Are there so many little charming cities in Mexico. It's amazing how close they are to us in the US but you feel like you're in a whole new world. Oaxaca will always have a piece of My heart!

I am so happy that you chose to go to Mexico and speak so highly of my country

I love the way you capture and honor the beauty of rustic and simplistic things that we don’t always remember are all around us because we are always looking for something spectacular. You create the most beautiful visual art in all your videos and it reminds me to look at everything from a different perspective.

I so love that you showed local artisans crafting cotton & weaving. So cool to see your interests colliding with local industry & history of a village, seamlessly woven into the tapestry of your story. Just amazing. Isn't God Good?! Perspective is such a gift. Thank you for bringing us along. His grace is sufficient for the day. 🥰 That papaya looked so delicious 😋 Safe journey and bless you both.

I love when Logan sings! What a stunning oasis of coziness. It's nice to see you out of winter clothing and feeling free.

I went to Mazatlan Mexico on vacation, ended up spending a total of 18 years living in Mexico. It is such a beautiful country, and beautiful people. Mafia, home invasions, and kidnappings became a problem where we lived, and I ended up moving back to the USA. Not everything you read online is fear mongering. Recently mazatlan and culican were shut down because the mafia had taken over both airports, were burning buses/cars in the streets, and killing people, all in retaliation of the son of el chapo being taken into custody. Be careful, and I do hope that you continue to have a wonderful vacation

I loved when you captured Logan singing, "I can't help falling in love with you...." What a beautiful song for a beautiful Isabel.

How unexpected! A lovely trip to an exotic part of Mexico! Sunshine in the mountains. The textiles look wonderful and those colors of yarns are rich and earthy. I feel like you gave me a gift! Thank you! 💙🌸🌙🌲

Hi Isabel, I was born in Mexico City, but we moved to Miami and have been here ever since. I have travelled throughout Mexico and been to many different cities and towns. It is so beautiful there, so much to see and experience. I'm so glad you got the chance to see this remote village and experience something so different from your home. Enjoy the rest of your travels.

It's so refreshing that you went to a place like Oaxaca, instead of a more touristy place. The food there is said to be exquisite. I must ask how you found a place to stay in such a small village? Best of luck on your travels, and enjoy and have fun!

this documentary format is amazing!

❤ love love love your video !! Oaxaca is Beautiful ! I’m going to Tulum next month can’t wait to get out of this cold 🥶 here in Michigan 🇺🇸!! God Bless Isabel and Logan 💜❤️

Isabel, I'm impressed that you were able to spend a week in a small village in the mountains around Oaxaca without being able to speak Spanish. Is it possible that the people there spoke Zapotec, a native Indian language. In 1974 we were a family of five (three small kids) and driving back to the US from Nicaragua where we had lived 2 years. Oaxaca is known for it's hand woven blankets stained with natural dyes. We wanted to buy two of these blankets in a village outside of Oaxaca. The old man who made and sold these blankets only spoke Zapotec and not Spanish. We ended up with a one hour bargaining session in Spanish with the man's young granddaughter who interpreted between Spanish and Zapotec. BTW, it's normal in Mexico for a bargaining (regateo) session to go on for a long time. We had been used to doing it in Nicaragua where it lasted only a minute.

What a beautiful, beautiful video. All of it, the music, the videography, the narration, the house, the location, your demeanor… you have become quite the storyteller and the best thing is to see how grateful and graceful you are towards your surroundings and the people… Can’t wait to see more…

Thats so awesome that you found such a beautiful place to take in the culture with no prior plans. The people of Mexico are so loving, caring and willing to help people they do not know. I spent several months in Mexico under different circumstances that were not so good but the locals took me in and treated me like their own. Like any place in the world there are things you should be cautious of but don't let that keep you from enjoying the rich culture of the beautiful country of Mexico. I wish Logan did not have to leave you during your time there.

I'm so happy you decided to travel to someplace warm this time. Blessings on your journey.

i'm so happy for you - you are glowing with joy! Mexico is such a beautiful place. i hope you enjoy it to its fullest - and stay safe please!

Really loved the bit about traditional textile creation, I really hope this village’s craft and knowledge will live on

Wonderful, thank you! I few years ago I received a grant to work on a film in France... I don't speak a word of French and was there a year with one suitcase and no plan except to write. I honestly did not want to leave ( may go back) and I only used half of what was in my little suitcase... I was mostly in a very small village, heating by fire and it taught me more than I could ever type here. most of all, I changed forever in my way of living.... I live very slow and simple. Former changed by the people and ways of life I saw. Better quality food and way of life. I let go and never looked back and find I cannot "hustle" and don't want to. Enjoy :)

Love that you jump on a plane with no plan! You drop some pearls of wisdom, it is a blessing you realize these truths at a young age. Looking forward to your travels.

Mexico is a beautiful country. And there you can clean your clothes by soap, and you don't need laundry. It's amazing to cook on fire. Traveling to discover another cultures like isabel, it's my desire.

I'm so happy, that you are doing, what you were dreaming about and felt like better not doing before - going, where your heart takes you. 💚 Thank you so much for being you. And have a lovely trip! How did u end up by the family you are staying with anyways? Lots of love to you

Glad you were able to visit this part of my country, Oxaca is very traditional, next time you stay in my home! :>)

That Papaya is huge! I am just the opposite of Isabel, I have to have everything planned out or I get so nervous. Another thing, I couldn't travel by myself, especially to a different country. I loved seeing the people weave, that was awesome.

Love Mexico. My grandmother lived there for 25 years. Your navy blue outfit with the cross back top was so adorable. Cheers to Logan breaking his fear barrier to traveling to foreign lands.

Hi Isabel! It's nice to see that you are in Mexico. As a Mexican I've always wanted to go to Oaxaca, I've never had the chance so far, so thanks for showing us a bit of it. I'd like to add that things do happen in this country (of which we are not proud, of course): kidnappings, drug cartels, insecurity in general. I would recommend that you ask local people for safe places to go; unfortunately not every place is safe. As Mexicans we have learned not to trust just anyone. Generally people are very friendly and will be able to guide you. Be calm but be alert. I try not to sound alarmist but I would be lying if I told you that nothing happens here. I hope the best for your trip, stay safe and if you need any recommendations from local people you can ask through an IG story or something, we would love to help :) Greetings from Guadalajara, Mx

So happy to see you guys not in the cold and rain and are basking in warmth!!! If you have internet, look for a translator app. I love that you are surrendering and letting go. You are beautiful just being. Logan’s music is so beautiful. So darn happy for yous. 💓

I love love love Mexico!!! If for some reason I'm ever compelled to leave the US, I'll go there. Many cousins are living there. You really show how beautiful it is there, and how lovely the people are. And the flower that you said smells like Jasmine, that's an agapanthus. Wonderful video!

Hey beautiful Video Isabel !! We cannot think of anyone who can do justice to such shy/hidden villages. We had similar experience as you, but in a Balinese village, a few months ago and made a video about it. But the subtlety with which you have told this story is so heart warming. Hugs and Love from India ❤❤❤

Hi Isabel, love your video. I was born in beautiful oaxaca. My parents currently live there if you need a place to stay. Let me know. ❤

Oaxaca is everything. I count the days to where I get to move there with my family 🫶🏼

I used to live in WA state, moved closer to the equator, couldnt pay me to go back. The sun is amazing and its effect on your mood is profound

My dream is to move to Oaxaca to study Otomi embroidery. Mexico is indeed a mystical place steeped in culture, tradition and magic. 🤎

I’m traveling to Costa Rica in about a week for the first time and this spoke so much to me. I’m leaning into this beautiful feeling. Thank you 🙏 ❤

Sunshine does make one feel better both physically and psychologically. We need good ole vitamins D by the natural conversion of sun on our skin. Very emotionally uplifting and healing. I love Mexico for sooo many reasons. Have a great time Isabel and thank you for taking us along.

The mountain villages in Oaxaca Mexico are very special. The indigenous people are gentle souls and the land is beautiful! Oaxaca is pronounced: woah hawk a 😊

So glad Logan is with you at least part of the way. I was getting a bit nervous about a pretty young lady heading out on her own without a plan. But, am glad to hear that you are comfortable where you are and are feeling less stressed about where you were a week ago. Enjoy your travels safe & sound!

I grew up in Oregon and moved to Phoenix 2 years ago just to have more sun in my life and it was hands down the best decision I’ve ever made. The sun changes lives

absolutely adore your channel i love your vibe so free and adventurous. This is the best form of escapism i really enjoyed this video. your amazing!! hope your friend feels better soon covid sucks...

!I loved watching your new adventure!! It must feel good to enjoy the warmth of Mexico...great video

Awww Logan! I am a bit more like you, thinking of what could go wrong. It is always a blessing when we get to see what could go right and be pleasantly surprised. There are risks to travel, it is good to be aware and wise. Always take activated charcoal on a trip, just wise.

oh my god Isabel. I was in Mexico exactly one year ago, and I really fell in love with this country. I‘m so happy for you that you made it to there ❤️

as a mexican studying abroad this video made me miss home more than usual, im glad u enjoyed your trip !

I’ve been watching your videos everyday since I discovered you, but this video 😭❤️‍🩹 I’m from Mexico born and raised… thank you for this beautiful video, I love my country and I miss it everyday, I live currently in USA 🥺

Wow, wow, wow! So intriguing! Thank you for taking us along! Sending love ♥️

This is absolutely beautiful! I haven't been to Mexico before, but I am hoping in the future to drive my old camper van down! Love the intro so much, sending love:)

this is such a beautiful video Isabel, im very happy and inspired now I’ve finish watching

I lived in Mexico for a year and half, it's a beautiful place. Villages are definitely safer than the cities, unless you go to a tourist area. There are more safeguards in place in tourist areas. But I am so glad you guys are having fun!

Beautiful- I love seeing how they make the textiles!

I absolutely adore Mexico

You definitely need to travel like this in the winter. I'm sure the Mexican people in that village loved having you both their 💜

It looks so nice there! I envy the warm weather right now. The people in that village are so interesting! Thank you for sharing that and showing what they do. As a fiber artist myself, I love seeing things like that. You two stay safe and have a wonderful time!

Amazing trip. So uplifting. Looks like you found yourselves again in the sunshine and simplicity of life in Mexico

Thanks for sharing your journeys, Isabel! I would love to hear you sing a duet sometime, or even solo. I have a feeling you are a very good singer :) And what is a good singer anyway? All humans can just sing if they want. I'd love to hear your friend sing more too. I see you guys connecting and it is beautiful! my advice- hold on.

I was in Oaxaca last week! It was really nice. It seems to be getting really trendy as a tourist destination, so many people have been going there lately. If you’re back in Oaxaca de Juarez you should check out Hierba Dulce. It’s an all vegan place with traditional dishes.

You get the winter blues like I do. It’s a real thing and everything you said about your mood totally changed in the warmth and sun I 100% understand that the natural vitamin D is a cure for the winter blues. I have wondered if you had the winter blues last winter when you struggled with your emotions really bad, probably the worst since watching your channel many yrs ago. Now you know so maybe you can start to travel during the worst part of the winter. My winter blues start in late September. It wasn’t until I went to the doctor one year feeling depressed , icky, and didn’t give a care about anything . The next year I went to the doctor feeling the same way. The doctor looks at me and asked me if I knew that I come to the doctors the exact same time last year down to the day. I of course had no clue. That’s when he told me that I have the winter blues. ( which I already knew he just confirmed what I already known my whole life) . The winters just suck. Cold, everything dead, snow, and did I mention the cold?? It’s only pretty 1 day a year Christmas the rest of the time it can be sunny and warm. We live on a farm so moving to a warm climate wouldn’t work because the animals like to eat all year around.. silly right?! My hubby sent me to Florida for a few years but I haven’t gone the last 2 yrs for one reason or another. We are winter blues sisters. lol Not the ideal group to be a part but it’s a necessary group to have. Supporter do support and you need people who understand what your going through . The ones who understand are ones who live it as well. I want to say my family understood but they didn’t . They tried but it’s hard to explain to others exactly what your feeling . words are hard sometimes.

Great shift in plans. Hope your friend is recovering. This village seems like a perfect getaway for you and Logan. Such peace and tranquility. May your travels continue with the joy you've found.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful video! Such a wonderful experience to visit a small authentic Mexican village!!

So excited you’re in Mexico! I would suggest however taking the time to learn the language especially if you’re going to be in super cultured areas that don’t get a lot of tourists. Be so careful but have so much fun ❤❤

Wow...the shots of the mountains 8 minutes in. Absolutely breathtaking. Looks like a lovely trip.

I HAD TO PAUSE at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="23">0:23</a>s. If you are not listening with headphones, PAUSE AND REPLAY THE VIDEO FROM THE BEGINNING. The audio in this video is absolutely incredible and absolutely blew me away. I'm in my school's library right now taking a break to watch and I must say I have CHILLS. Mexico- along with Hawaii- are one of the places on this Earth where my heart has resonated so strongly. I am beyond excited to watch this new video, Isabel, I am just- my breath has been taken away with this audio paired with the visuals. Wow. stunning job.

Isabel, I am glad you were not by yourself, and Logan was with you. I don't need to worry about your safety now. It looks like you visited some nice places. Love from Mike. ❤

Yay! Bienvenidos a Mexico 🎉❤😊

I am so so happy and thrilled to see you travel again and in a warm place! Yay! ❤️ Home is home and will always be there. But adventures and travel always really make us unplug, reset, recharge! 🌴

If anyone is wondering where her blue outfit is from, it's from Etsy! I have the same set from the shop called linocolore :)

Woow estuviste en Oaxaca! Me hubiera encantado conocerte 🤩 , me encantan tus videos 🥰

Only you can capture calm and excitement at the same time so beautifully in a video! Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Isabel

Loved the video. The little village simplicity

Logan❤️, Izobella, always remind ourselves that all over the world there are parents with children, that all if thrm want to be safe and take care of their family. Mejícó es une maravilla, genorisidad y hermosas personas. Travelled the "most dangerous road " of the country...with everybody on the bus snoring along their dreams. I could have robbed all of the travellers. I was so happy when the dri er told me how to walk to my hostel in the midst if the nite and not yo take a taxi , like he did to awell off american family with sleepy kidgos. He recognized the traveller in me and knew I spoke good Spanish . But above all he knew the safety issue in his town was not to worry about and that would find a helping local if lost. ;))) Travelling with a 6kg backpack or bag on local chickenvans, no problem ever. Enjoy your new inspiration, thank you for sharing the love of the musicality of your lifes.

I’m glad Logan started out with you. You are so brave. This is what living is! So proud of you! ❤️☕️

This vacation was so you Isabel. I love how excited and appreciative you are for the simple things.❤

Deep into Mexico and Costa Rico are so beautiful and peaceful. I've read many of the reviews and it seems to cover the border areas. Winding it looks good on both of you. Take a deep breath and relax.

Big up from Jamaica ❤

More travel series please ;-) love this

Okay, that library! Oh my god, and probably yours as well, I would have camped there. And I am trying to wrap my head around someone never having eaten paw paw before. (Australian name for papaya). What beautiful textiles ❤ I love handmade fabrics. I normally do not enjoy travel vlogs. But your cinematography is so beautiful and now I want to see Mexico!

This is random but . . . Thank you for going somewhere warm =) As a southerner, I am amazed by all of the cold locations and col swimming you do. As always, fantastic videography and storytelling.

So humbling, refreshing, and therapeutic. I also learned there's only so much control we have of our lives, to a point we need to just go with the 'ebb & flow', that way not forced, rather organic, less stress.

Hey, come spend some time with us if you want ☺️? We live in nature in the Yucatan. We took over an abandoned ranch two years ago and we're trying to turn it into a little paradise. If the wind wants to carry you here, you are welcome in our French family 😘 (Superb inspiring video, as always)

I've been watching your videos for about two years. This is possibly the best one IMHO. It begins with a maturity but never looses its positivity nor the possibility in the power to let go when something doesn't go the way you expected, and, it owns every second of itself. I even paused the video at the end the same way one might put a book down as the last pages ticked away so it would last longer.

Oaxaca is truly a magical place!

You two are so good for each other❤! Love this! Looks like an amazing experience you had!

How exciting for you both and a real breath of fresh air. I am always in awe of finding small villages that still are creating their sustainable living with crafts that have been passed hand to hand down through the generations. I hope you both really enjoy this new journey and thank you so much for sharing it with us. just wondering whether Logan shared his beautiful guitar playing with the local children, i have always found that music reaches further than language when we can't share words. love to you both x

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="11">0:11</a> So natural, beautiful, nice, peaceful.. She is living embodiment of hippiedom. She looked incredibly beautiful in the thumbnail for this vid

You have to take a visit to the mountains of Colombia,…Mexico is a dream. Oaxaca is ❤

Beautiful

Your filmmaking is so beautiful, thank you Isabel :)
