🎙️ Episode Title: 3 Days in Oaxaca, Mexico: A Local Food Tour, Cafe Culture & Colourful Streets
In this solo travel episode, I (James) take you through my chilled, food-filled, coffee-fueled 3-day escape to Oaxaca, Mexico — a destination famous for its rich culture, incredible street food, artisan markets, and laid-back digital nomad vibes.
After weeks of travelling through Central America, Oaxaca was the perfect place to unwind before my trip home to Vancouver via Mexico City. Tune in to hear about my stay at a local hostel, my favourite cafes, a mouthwatering food tour, and why Oaxaca should be on every traveller's bucket list— especially if you love mole, mezcal, and Mexican culture.
Whether you're a foodie, a coffee addict, a digital nomad, or a curious backpacker, this Oaxaca travel guide will inspire your next adventure!
Three days was nowhere near enough for this place which just means I will have to return one day to stay longer!
