Hi, I’m Cass, the travel blogger and writer behind the MexicoCassie website.

Every article on this site is a love letter to somewhere I’ve adored getting to know in Mexico and Spain. I hope my work will help you to also fall hard for these gorgeous places and cultures.

In this space the focus is on having the most fun but always being respectful as we adventure, always mindful that travel shouldn’t be a hurried checklist of places to visit, rather a privilege and an opportunity to connect with other cultures & countries.
