The UPDATED VIDEO can be found here    • THIS IS WHY TULUM MEXICO IS *NOT* FOR...   I returned to Tulum in 2024 and so (so) many things have NOT improved for travelers. Tulum travel is.. over for me.

This video is for someone who's seen the pretty pictures of Tulum on instagram and is curious about traveling there. People always ask me in instagram direct messages: WHERE ARE THE ALL INCLUSIVE RESORTS IN TULUM?! And that's NOT what Tulum is... it's not Cancun or Playa (it's something more special)!

I did my research and I knew it was the jungle. I knew it would be a different experience, but I put together this list to help others travel there - these are the things I WISH I KNEW despite all the research I did.

I was at the Hilton Playa del Carmen while filming this

🤓 I’m Christine and I keep it REAL💯 and REAL FUN. I do A LOT of research before I travel and I take EVERYTHING I learned and EVERYTHING I experienced and I make the travel videos I WISH I GOT TO SEE. That’s what you’re seeing in this video and I hope it helps! I am NOT a Youtuber that just walks around with a camera showing you “random things and me living my best life”. These videos are created to HELP you KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT, plan the BEST trip possible, and take the trip! We ALL need to travel more. Made with tons of love. xoxo

📱I created the first 100 YouTube videos of this channel using just my iPhone. I’ve (kinda) updated a few things since then…
