Spring Break

En el mar, la vida es mas sabrosa.....

Senior year in college and I can finally say I did it... And by it I mean, going to the beach on vacation during spring break! Not going to lie, I never do anything too crazy for spring break. I tend to just catch up on much needed sleep, because let's be honest college students are also part time zombies, and maybe work on my piles and piles of homework. I decided it was my senior year and I needed to change things up. 

My friends decided it would be a great idea for all of us to travel together to a beach and enjoy the sun. I was a little worried, knowing that these kinds of trips can end up being super expensive. But you know what, I decided to take the chance and enjoy it because why the hell not!? So off we embarked to none other than Puerto Penasco, or Rocky Point was many people like to call it. 

I could pretend I had a super crazy week partying every night, but in reality I had one of the most relaxing weeks in the sun. You may wonder, how the hell did you achieve that with all the other crazy spring breakers around the US going to Puerto Penasco? Well let me tell you my little secret, you don't have to stay in the main town in a big party resort when you travel to the beach. Do some research, find other places near by, and find options I promise you won't regret it. 

I was lucky enough to enjoy some quiet time by the beach, some very refreshing drinks, and some nights of laughter and parties. The most important thing about spring break is to do what you feel comfortable with. If you want to get drunk and party hard, then you do you, but always be safe! If you are more like me and you want to read a good book by the ocean, then by all means enjoy the quiet water!

Anyhow, during my trip I did learn some useful things that might help you the next time that you decide to travel to the beach (whether it be during spring break or not!). 
  • Airbnb is your best friend! (like seriously do not be afraid to look at options!)
  • Check if driving to the beach is doable because it may be a lot cheaper!
  • Talking about saving money, Amazon is your friend when it comes to finding swimsuits. Yes I swear you will find amazing swimsuits at really affordable prices!
  • Be aware of the currency exchange rate, and I highly recommend changing some money beforehand - but by all means don't be afraid if you only have dollars (everyone takes them!)
  • ​Always be nice to the locals, they know the best places and can always help you out
  • Do not forget your sunscreen!!! This is extremely important.
  • If you burn easy then take Aloe, it will be a life saver
  • Try all the food! Like seriously Mexican food is the bomb so don't be afraid to try Mexican snacks and dishes!
  • Lastly, go at your own pace and do whatever the hell you think is fun!

So next time you're thinking about making a trip like this, do it! Believe me it's totally worth it and you won't regret it!
