It’s hard to believe we are heading into the last days of summer. While plugging away at work, I’m often nostalgic for my international travels of years past, especially if I am taking a mini-break and gazing at art or photos I’ve collected from my journey.
As NYC cools down, a trip to a small town in Mexico called Tulum seems like it could be the perfect final getaway of the summer. It’s one of my favorite travel destinations. I’d visited (solo) during business school as a project to better understand tourism and technology.
Just a 90-mile drive from Cancun, Tulum is a small city distinguished by its pristine beaches and local charm. For any traveler in search of a delicate balance of rustic ‘True Mexico’ with a little international flair, Tulum brings both elements into harmony. One of my favorite aspects of Tulum is that the entire city is solar powered and has several eco-friendly boutiques all across its shoreline. Although the town is no longer a hidden treasure with limited tourists, the combination of beauty and conscious living embodies the Eva & Paul spirit. Tulum has become my second home.
Where to Go!

Tulum city and ruins are all nearby, so you can balance a bit of culture with beach lounging. I split the days between tanning and hopping around the surrounding ruins.
What to Eat!

Fish tacos became my comfort food during my travel. Langoustines came at a fast second as a fresh cross between shrimp and lobster - absolutely delicious. And for all you Americanos, they’re not spicy at all - unless you add salsa!
