00:00This is incredible. We're the only ones here right now.
00:32Being a nomad is not a vacation. It's freedom, but it's also discipline.
00:37It's an exchange of security for enhanced experiences. It's a way of life.
01:00Run away, run away, you're never too far to run. Run away, run away, run away, until you escape. Run
01:10away, run away, run away, run away, run away.
01:30Stick around.
01:58Use this and set it up for the ride.
03:30It's super affordable and has everything we need.
03:33It's right across the road from a massive grocery store.
03:36Like Mexico feels a lot more westernized, I suppose, than Thailand.
03:42You know, we really loved our time living in Thailand, but there were a lot of cultural
03:47differences.
03:48And I mean, there still is here.
03:50Like there's a very strong Mayan culture here and Mexican culture, Spanish culture, but
03:57it is a lot more western.
03:58It's kind of more Americanized.
04:00Things like the grocery store are just a lot easier.
04:02And I think one of my favorite things about Mexico in general is they have really good
04:08taste.
04:08Like even the 7-Elevens that you drive past, they're made out of like cobblestone and they
04:13look really cool.
04:14They don't look like a really tacky convenience store.
04:17And I didn't realize that I'd missed that when we're in Southeast Asia.
04:21And it's also like not as densely populated.
04:24Mexico is a big country and Mexico City is obviously one of the most populated places
04:29in the world.
04:30But when you come to places like the Riviera Maya and stuff, like it's very vast and very
04:34open and very lush.
04:36And I really appreciate that about Mexico.
04:39And just in general, coming here was super, super easy.
04:43I mean, it was only a six hour flight and Lila was perfect on the flight.
04:47We didn't have any issues, like no visa issues.
04:50We didn't need a visa here.
04:51We didn't have any issues with like booking transport or finding a really good affordable
04:56Airbnb.
04:57Even the best thing was as soon as we got off the plane, without even me having to think
05:02about it, my phone was working.
05:04And that's because we're in Canada already.
05:07We had only planned to come to Mexico on a Monday.
05:10And by Friday, we're already on our way here, which is kind of how we do things.
05:14Sometimes we just make decisions and we do them really fast.
05:17I don't know if that's a positive personality trait or a negative one, but I hadn't even thought
05:22about how our phones were going to work because we had an Olifly North America eSIM already.
05:29And that's actually today's video sponsor.
05:31So if you've never used a eSIM before, I think I'd never used one until like three or four
05:36years ago.
05:37I never even heard of it, but they are getting very popular.
05:39And that's because you don't need those physical SIM cards that you put into your smartphone
05:44anymore.
05:44You just get a virtual SIM, which with Olifly, you can buy super easy.
05:50All you do is go into their website and you figure out where you're wanting to go.
05:53You can pick a eSIM for a specific country or a region.
05:57And that's what we did.
05:58We did North America.
05:59I did that without even knowing we were going to be coming to Mexico.
06:02And when you buy it, it's super simple.
06:05They'll just send you an email with a QR code and that's your eSIM.
06:09All you have to do is pull out your phone, make sure you're logged onto some kind of a Wi
06:13-Fi.
06:13You follow the prompts and it takes like two minutes.
06:16If you're working online, a digital nomad like us, and you need to have stable Wi-Fi so you
06:21can work, sometimes when you check into Airbnbs or hotels, the Wi-Fi isn't great.
06:26Luckily where we are, it's actually really good, but you can tether your Olifly eSIM to your
06:32computer or your tablet or whatever it is, somebody else's smartphone.
06:36But if you're trying to get work done, you can tether it to your phone, which is amazing.
06:40So honestly, like we've been using Olifly eSIMs for almost four years since we left Australia.
06:46They've been a huge, huge support for this channel.
06:49Thank you to Olifly for sponsoring today's video.

07:08let us know.
07:08All right, we'll get back to the story now.
07:10We have a super exciting day planned today.
07:13I'm so excited.
07:14I've wanted to do this for so long.
07:16We're just going to head down at the moment and meet the person that's jumping off an ATV
07:22for us to use to explore around the city today, which is so exciting.
07:30We've been here a few days and I mentioned in our previous video that getting around Tulum
07:35is a little bit tricky because there's like a taxi mafia and they charge a lot of money.
07:40Um, and so the obvious options are like beach cruisers, scooters, but for us, the best option
07:49just to get to like the beaches and stuff is an ATV because it's a four wheel bike.
07:55Um, it's a lot safer and it's a lot more fun.
07:58Um, I think for us to get around.
08:00So we've got a bunch of places we're going to go today.
08:03Let's check out this ATV, see how it is.
08:05I grew up riding ATVs.
08:07I grew up in the country in Canada, so I'm super comfortable on them and I feel way safer
08:12on them.
08:13Um, even more so than a scooter, if you've been watching our channel for a long time,
08:16you'll know that we, um, I've pretty much ridden a scooter around the most of the world.
08:22Uh, that's a motorbike.
08:25Is that ours?
08:26No, it's not.
08:27Okay.
08:28It's just the bottom motorbike.
08:30Anyway, I, so I definitely feel like it'll be safer with Lila with the ATV.
08:34I know I'm going to probably cop a lot of shit from people.
08:37Um, but I don't care.
08:41Roast us in the comments.
08:42We don't care.
08:43We're used to it by now.
08:44Yeah, but just so everyone knows, like, it's legal here.
08:48As long as we're all wearing helmets, um, we have the right license and we're not going
08:53on like big highways or anything.
08:55Tulum is mostly like small dirt roads.
08:59Um, everyone rides ATVs around and motorbikes.
09:03So, and we're going to be going really slow.
09:06So don't, don't think we're being irresponsible either.
09:10Sorry.
09:11You don't drive in Ganyvi?
09:13Um, I know motorbike.
09:14Is this have much use?
09:17I think it's better to ask.
09:19Are you okay?
09:19Uh, this is good.
09:21It's good here.
09:24Tulum.
09:25This is a bad brake.
09:27This is from brake.
09:28Badai or 5-0 this is brake.
09:32Beautiful.
09:58I think I might be able to manage.
10:02Selling Lloyd on wanting to buy one of these after this.
10:06Okay, we've just got to pick up a helmet for Lila.
10:09The one that they brought for us was, uh, 10 times too big.
10:14So we're just going to hop into the shops and hopefully we can find one for her.
10:17Go, go, go, go.
10:22Let's go.
10:22Go, go, go.
10:24Go, go, go, go!
10:26Go, go!
10:37Go, go!
10:55A rebane.
12:55I wasn't expecting that.
13:02She's awake now, barely.
13:04Okay, so we're at Cenote Calavera.
13:08It's pretty much the closest cenote to where we're staying.
13:11It's very close to downtown.
13:13Five minute drive on a very quiet road.
13:18It's 250 pesos per person for entry.
13:22And you get to stay as long as you want.
13:24But it is an extra 200 pesos if you want to bring a camera in.
13:27And there's no drones allowed.
13:29Which is unfortunate because it's probably epic drone shots to get here.
13:33Let's go jump in the water.
13:50I think we might be the only ones here.
13:52That's so pretty.
13:55It's empty at the moment.
13:57We're early.
13:58Which is good.
14:00It's a beautiful church in here.
14:03My goodness.
14:04I'm sorry.
14:10That's so pretty.
14:12That's so good.
14:15That's so bad.
14:24I'm sorry.
15:54Hopefully you can hear me all right.
15:55There is a guy on a leaf blower cleaning up because we're here at like, I think it's like 9
16:01o'clock, 9.30.
16:03Literally the only people here.
16:05It's pretty awesome.
16:06There's like a bunch of lounge chairs and the cenote is like actually really deep.
16:11You have to climb down this ladder to get to it.
16:14So I'm not sure if we can take Lila in it or not, but that's okay.
16:18We can probably just take turns.
16:19And then there's like a little restaurant here that sells food and drinks.
16:23I think you could spend like the whole afternoon or the whole morning here.
16:27Pretty cool.
16:28This is incredible.
16:29We're the only ones here right now.
16:31We're the entire place to ourself.
16:33Come here quite early, but not too early.
16:35I would expect more people to be here, but there is a big storm coming.
16:40So that might be why everyone is probably a little bit more aware and prepared than we
16:45are, but weather doesn't stop us from doing whatever we want.
17:10Well, it's really coming down.
17:12Probably the hardest rain we've had since we've been here.
17:14Um, did not even open the weather app this morning.
17:19Uh, we're just sitting in the restaurant here, which isn't open, unfortunately.
17:26It'd actually be pretty cool if we could just hang out and have a couple of pina coladas
17:32or margaritas or something, maybe some tacos, but, uh, I don't know if they're opening or
17:37not.
17:37We're still the only ones here with pina for about an hour.
17:40Um, probably because everyone else knew that it was going to rain.
17:45That's probably what happened.
17:47Everyone except us.
17:50We're notorious for just letting whatever happens happen and not checking the weather app.
17:57I don't think we ever really do.
18:00Even when you do though in a tropical place, I feel like it's not very reliable, especially
18:04on the iPhone app.
18:05It doesn't, it's not accurate.
18:09Yeah, to be fair, Apple weather just says chance of rain every single day and it's a roll of
18:14the dice.
18:15Um, oh, it looks like it's easing off a little bit now.
18:19I don't know.
18:20I'm so sick, I'm so sick.
18:24I'm so sick.
18:26Yeah.
18:29I wonder what it is.
18:30That's great.
18:34I don't know what it about.
18:37Oh, hello.
18:37Oh, now.
18:43Hey, that's very nice.
22:05It's pretty cool.
22:12So this is a little restaurant right by the beach that has a cenote out the back and it's free
22:18to enter.
22:18It's called Capenha.
22:21It's called Capenha, he said.
22:46How cool is this?
22:58Tulum, Tulum isn't just a destination.
23:04It's a feeling.
23:30It's a feeling.
23:31It pulls you in.
23:32It pulls you in.
23:34Not with flash.
23:38Not with noise.
23:40Not with noise.
23:44But with energy.
23:47You feel it.
23:49You feel it in your chest.
23:50You feel it in your breath.
23:57You feel it in your chest.
23:57No
24:02Not just on the walls, but in the way people dress and move.
24:15In the way the jungle and ocean meet, in the sacred stillness between moments.
24:25Here, you don't just visit, you remember who you are, what lights you up, and why you
24:36came here in the first place.
24:39Tulum teaches you to create, to connect, to slow down and listen.
24:52And once it touches you, you're never quite the same again.
25:01Run away, run away, run away.
25:04You're never too far to run.
25:07Run away, run away, run away.
25:10To your escape.
25:13Run away, run away, run away.
25:16Run away, run away, run away.
25:18Run away, run away, run away.
25:19ManIGHTS
25:20In this place, man.
25:21I keep getting it.
