What happens when the spring break destination we’ve seen on TV doesn’t match the reality? In this episode, I’m coming clean about my own Cabo San Lucas spring break—one that turned out to be far more soulful and surprising than the party-centric version we’ve come to expect from shows like Laguna Beach.
From camel rides along the coast to unforgettable local meals, and reconnecting with familiar faces year after year, Cabo was so much more than just a spring break hotspot. I also dive into the Cabo vs. Cancun debate, comparing these two iconic destinations—and exploring how media plays a huge role in shaping our travel choices and expectations.
If you’ve ever been influenced by a TV show, movie, or social media post to visit a place, this episode is for you. Let’s unpack how media-influenced travel can sometimes surprise us—in the best way.
