Solo female traveler, mid 30s. I want to spend about 4 weeks in Mexico or Latin America. I’d like to not rent a car. I’m okay with using public transit, colectivos, hiring a driver or taxi. I’d like to be able to walk to restaurants, stores, activities. My Spanish is good, but not fluent. Where should I go?
it's stormy season in the good parts of Mexico, but after that? backpacking/hitching in the area is easily doable since you speak the language, a number of friends have done it and it seemed like they had a good time.
probably about as dangerous as any other high crime area that preys on (relatively) rich tourists though.
