Things to do
Visit Chapultepec Castle

Protest femicide at 8M on Women's Day
Each year on March 8th, thousands gather across Mexico City to protest gender-based violence and femicide. Marches move through central avenues, with chants, murals, and collective action demanding justice and accountability. Read our post.
Explore Barrio Chino
Tucked into Centro Histórico, Barrio Chino (Mexico City's Chinatown) is a small but culturally layered corridor marked by red lanterns and Chinese-Mexican bakeries. Great for street photography and Asian food, it offers a glimpse into the city’s diasporic histories. Read our post.
Gear
Fujifilm X-T5
Most of the photos on this site have been taken with our Fujifilm X-T5. Besides its tactility and color science, we love its portability. It's surprisingly lightweight, which makes it highly practical for travel and everyday use.
Fujifilm Everyday Lens
Fujifilm's XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II is our go-to everyday lens. It lives on our Fujifilm X-T5 about 90% of the time, and for good reason. It’s powerful, versatile, and takes excellent photos in all kinds of situations.
Wise Multi-Currency Card
We use Wise to spend in local currency without the painfully high foreign transaction fees. It’s one of the simplest ways we’ve found to access our money abroad, in any currency needed, without feeling like we’re losing some of it to massive fees every time we tap.
Nomad Insurance
We use SafetyWing's Nomad Insurance to protect ourselves in case we face an unexpected medical emergency. In addition to covering medical treatment and hospitalization, their policy also covers lost luggage, travel delays, and emergency evacuations.
Saily Global eSIM
It can be a hassle to buy a new eSIM every time you enter a different country. That's why we use Saily's Global eSIM, which provides coverage in all the countries we regularly travel to. It's great to land in a new destination and already have data.
NordVPN
Using a VPN is essential to protecting your digital life when moving through unfamiliar networks. We use NordVPN to encrypt our connection on public wifi, whether in airports, cafés, or coworking spaces.
