Mexicanist Newsletter: Death Flights, Dunes, and Delicious Dishes
From Lunar New Year celebrations in Cancun to innovative scientific breakthroughs with organs-on-chips technology. Discover travel tips, retirement advice, cultural insights, and culinary adventures, including a bold Oaxacan Negroni twist.
Welcome to another edition of the Mexicanist newsletter, your trusty guide to all things Mexico—where the only certainty is glorious chaos. This week? We’ve got silk dragons invading Cancun, mariachi bands butchering K-pop, and Valentine's Day alternatives that don’t involve overpriced roses and regret.
Oh, and if you’ve ever wondered how to retire in Mexico without ending up in a bureaucratic nightmare, we’ve got that too. Plus, a survival guide to the things in Mexico that will drive you absolutely bonkers (because, let’s be honest, there are many).
We’re also taking a deep dive into Mexico’s dunes, the country’s obsession with agroecology, and a rather unsettling history of aerial assassinations. But don't worry—we've balanced that out with mezcal-fueled madness, some scandalously good tacos, and a cocktail so ridiculous it might just be genius.
