BOP’s Lockdown ‘Fake’ation – Let’s go to Mexico!
Right now, we’re all having to get a little more creative as we spend time at home waiting for the COVID-19 pandemic to pass. We love traveling as much as you do, and to be unable to travel at this time is very difficult. We must stay at home to stop the spread of the virus, but we’re still dreaming about our next adventure! Until the pandemic passes, we’re having fake-ations in the safety of our homes, and we’d love for you to join us! We’re looking for awesome things to do at home to take us to our favorite destinations. This stop – Mexico!
Immerse Yourself in the World of the Telenovela!
Drama. Suspense. Romance. Telenovelas are the ultimate guilty pleasure, perfect for binge watching during lockdown! You can find them easily online, and you’ll immediately be addicted to the crazy Latin world of soap opera. Although we have it on good authority that real life in Mexico is not quite so dramatic, you’ll find it hard to tear yourself away from the television. Grab some snacks and get ready for a rollercoaster ride! Bonus benefit, you’ll pick up some Spanish along the way!
Spice Up Your Taste Buds!
Mexican food is super easy to make, and loved by all! Delicious dinners with a hint of smoky spice will take you straight to Mexico. See how hot you dare to have your hot sauce, Mexicans just love theirs super-hot! Let’s not forget guacamole, a perfect dipping companion for your movie nights! Fajitas for the family, or quesadillas for breakfast, Mexican meals are perfect for hungry kids and adults alike!
Start Learning Spanish!
If you followed our advice to catch up with telenovelas, you’ll be inspired to start learning more Spanish! Once you get started you’ll be surprised how easy it can be. There are many words that are very similar to English! If you immerse yourself in listening to Spanish speakers it will help a lot. Once lockdown is over you’ll be confident and ready to practice your new skills on the beaches of Cancun!
Become A Sofa Explorer and Learn About Mexican History!
Mexico has an incredible history and cultural heritage that spans over 10,000 years! Go back in time to learn about the Mayans and the Aztecs, civilizations which left landmarks that stand even today. Once you’ve explored these incredible cultures, move to the modern era and Mexico’s fight for independence. There’s so much to learn that you lockdown hours will fly by! Best of all, you’ll be able to put your new knowledge to good use once travel restrictions are lifted. You can visit the most famous historical landmarks in Mexico on your next trip!
