Mele World

My trip to Mexico was something from a Hollywood script – an action-packed vacation where I was mom by day, and sexy dynamic-traveler by night. Mexico was the first time I did not have to choose between two separate vacations as I got to experience a family trip as well as a solo adventure.

During the day my kids and I did just about all you can do. We visited an interactive museum, the Tulum Ruins, went swimming with the dolphins and shared amazing food. We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton so we spent most of our days on the beach and in their fabulous restaurants where I had the best chicken wings ever! My favorite moment is our family photo shoot that was made that much more spectacular by the Mexico backdrop. At night I got to explore Mexico on my own, something I have never done before. I went to CoCo Bongo, a venue known for the legendary scene from the movie ‘The Mask’. I met new people, had some drinks, danced like no one was watching and experienced the exciting nightlife.

It seems exhausting, but it was actually energizing to be able to do both. A mom, as well as a single woman living their best individual lives, simultaneously. It’s fulfilling to be able to do both. This is what freedom must feel like. Peace, love and travel.
