We spent several months in Chiapas, Mexico. While there, I was able to speak with a Zapatista historian named Anna about the history of the Zapatistas, how they were born, and where they are now.
The Zapatistas are touted as Communist, but are they really?
This movement is both tragic and inspirational. A 56-year journey .
After our excursions to the Guatemala border and Lagos Montebello, we headed to Mexico's largest waterfalls, El Chiflon. It's definitely worth a 2.5-hour drive from San Cristobal should you ever make there.
We highly recommend this as an overnight stay. The on-site hotel is convenient and affordable just steps away from the river.
While on our way to Chiapas, we stopped off in Acapulco to take part in the annual Conference Anarchapulco. I had the pleasure of interviewing Curtis Stone of http://FreedomFarmers.com

Jason and I took a ride down the largest portion of the Costera in Acapulco after hurricane Otis and this is what we saw. #acapulco #hurricaneotis #mexico #anarchapulco
Upon arriving in Acapulco, Jason and I jump into action with the assistance of the Marsh Children's Home in Bonfil.
After 7 years of giving to Marsh the kids were more than happy to give back to their community.
It was very heart warming to give them this opportunity.
On day I rode through Diamante and the Acapulco bay Costera as well as through the mountain pass into some of the other Barrios.
Here's the fundraiser that is making what we're doing possible.

Just when I thought the hardest part of the job would be driving from Austin to Acapulco on my motorcycle, I quickly realized crossing the Acapulcolypse would be no easy task.
Not only was the drive other worldly, but Jason's van dies in one of the worst Barios in Acapulco.

Upon learning of the Hurricane Otis devastation,I immediately loaded up the Super Tenere and hit the road to Acapulco to help out my long-time friends and many strangers in the area.
Along the way, I team up with my friend Jason to make it all happen. stay tuned for more exciting and heartwarming episodes from the disaster zone that is Acapulco Mexico.
Just a little bit of what I've seen on the ground here in Acapulco after Hurricane Otis
After seeing all of the hoopla in the news about the so-called invasion, I to see for myself if it was an invasion or a Welcome Mat.
I briefly visited the US side and then promptly spent the night and most of the next day in Piedras Negras to get both sides of the story.
Clearly, there are exaggerations in the media, not only insofar as the numbers but also the culprits.
This was eye-opening and refreshing to see the sincerity the Mexican people extend to the Migrants passing through their country.
This is a story I am proud to tell and be a part of. Tumin is a local Mexican currency paired to the pesos in value but is far more valuable in principle. Tumin started as a social experiment at a University in Espinal Veracruz. After some succ...
On my way to Papantla Veracruz to take part in the Tumin Expo, I sought out and found the Reynosa Migrant Encampment. I stopped in to talk with a few of the residents waiting for permission to enter the United States. The people I encountered had...
In this episode, I start out from Chichen Itza and work my way to San Cristobal De Las Casas in Chiapas, Mexico, before continuing on to Acapulco and finally Austin, Texas. On this journey, I encounter the Palenque, Archaeological zone, Santa Mari...
We spent 4 days exploring Chichen Itza and the surrounding areas, taking in the Pyramids, Cenotes, and much more. While we talk a lot about the scams in the Yucatan, don't let that deter you from experiencing the beauty of the Yucatan. To the co...
We spent a week in Akumal , Quintana Roo, Mexico, taking in all we could. We hit the Pyramid in Tulum, Dos Ojos Cenotes, Swam with the Turtles, and an awesome ride around Cozumel on a Scooter. Music: Crazy Love Musician: AlexiAction URL: https:...
Bacalar without a is not only one the most beautiful places in all of Mexico, it's also far less scammy than other Coastal destinations in Riviera Maya. The views were stunning and people genuine. Day Tour Bacalar was a fantastic company to work ...
Jona and I spend a lot of time in Las Vegas over the past several years. We always make it point to get out and enjoy some of the natural landscape. This is our visit to Willow Beach, Arizona Hotsprings, and Nelson's Ghost Town. Hope you enjoy.
This was an absolutely beautiful ride that I had from the city of Oaxaca to Acapulco.
I'm sharing the mountain portion of this ride because it was so beautiful.

The road to Cancún from Veracruz was not without challenges. From a roadside blowout to a bent rim, the road was paved with potholes.
The Cenote in Cancún was a highlight of Cancún for us.
We're not much of a fan of larger cities, but we always make the best of it.
In this episode, I drive from Acapulco to Veracruz using only the Libre. It's an absolutely beautiful drive. Upon reaching Veracruz, Jona and I visited the Fort/Prison of San Juan De Ulua for an eye-opening experience as well as our main goal an alternative currency market Festival for the local Mexican currency Tumin.
We had an amazing time witnessing firsthand, dozens of vendors having thousands of transactions in their own local currency. It's very inspiring to see.
This is the final episode of a 4 part crazy ride to Acapulco to from Las Vegas during a historic time of violence in Sinaloa. This episode wraps it up with a story of awesome kindness of strangers and show of brotherhood by a Zihuatanejo Motorcycle Club.
This is the 2nd day of my drive-through the war zone in Sinaloa Mexico after the uprising from the government arresting El Chopo's son.
There were so many burned busses and trucks that I lost count. It was a very surreal experience.

My Moto adventure to Acapulco from Las Vegas turned out to be way more than I bargained for. While it was wild and borderline dangerous, it was also exciting and humbling. The sights were amazing, the situation frightening and the people were absolutely awesome. This is a 4-part series. The Sinaloa portion is already released because it was breaking news, I felt needed to be out there.
Stay tuned for part 4 very soon.
Thanks to all of the new viewers and as always, thanks to Colin Cantrell of Nexus Earth for the music.
Today while driving through Sinaloa I got to Experience 1st hand what the war zone looked like.
it wasn't pretty.
I have no earthly idea how I was able to have a catastrophic breakdown of my suspension and walk away with a $15 bill.
Luckily having friends in Mexico is extremely helpful, one of my friends was able to locate a Bike Club who came to my rescue to fix my motorcycle in the middle of nowhere for little of nothing with almost no tools at all.
Upon arriving at my destination the project that I've been looking forward to working with was well into swing with great news and new helpers on the team. I can't wait to see how this project turns out and if you are coming to this conference please use my coupon code crypto10
