I think you’re very brave. It takes courage to travel alone extensively in a foreign country. You’ve brought us with you to remote places for some great adventures. That’s brave! 💪🏻

Thanks! For some reason I’m not afraid of solo travel; however I have major anxiety in my normal day to day life 😂 Thanks for following me on my adventures!

Great video. I was there in April 1973 after a stay in Oaxaca. We drove over a dirt road from OAX to PE - 11 hours. Only some surfers were there and about a dozen buildings for the town. Returned in 1989. Much more built up but still off the tourist path.

Hola Alfie, glad to see you had a good time in Puerto Escondido and surrounding areas. You're braver than I would have been, going into a lagoon at night infested with crocodiles it's pretty ballsy. Best thing you did was stay out of those rough beaches, the tide can pull you in/under and if you're not a very good swimmer, your dead meat. Looking forward to your next video. 😊
@GringoInterrupted2 ай бұрын
Thanks Lou! I was hesitant at the lagoon, but I would have kicked myself for not going for it! Besides, if I had to choose, I think I’d prefer death by crocodile to drowning in the ocean! 😉 Thanks for watching !

That piece of fruit shaped like a star is called a starfruit. No I'm not just being a smart*ss :) It's good for staving off dehydration because it has a little sugar, some electrolytes, and is mostly made up of water. Plus they are tasty.

The town seemed a little rough and undeveloped, which was refreshing. I think I recall a time when you drove a scooter on the an even busier highway…………

It will probably change a lot with the new highway. After talking tos some locals, they say they aren’t ready for it. They say they don’t have the infrastructure, sewer and more importantly, enough water.

It looks like you walked right by the place I'm staying in November, the first orange building in La Punta! I only recognize it from my airbnb pics. I'm flying to Oaxaca for Dia de Muertos and ending the last few days in PE. Going solo also, a little nervous for how busy it will be for the holiday. I've been to other places in Mexico solo but not for a big holiday. May I ask how you went about learning Spanish and how long it took?

Yes. Zipolote is great. Rough water and nude. Luckily it’s a very wide beach so you can keep the nudity at a respectable distance, if you so choose.
