Embracing Adventure and Art in Mexico



Time has flown by over the past month, and I find it hard to sit down and write. The allure of adventure calls me, especially as I explore the charming small towns of Mexico, each brimming with stunning architecture, captivating sculptures, and an abundance of free art museums. My days have been filled with pinning amazing murals and potential destinations on Google Maps, all while discovering quirky cafes that fuel my creative spirit.

My journey has been anything but ordinary. From spontaneously attending a metal festival to swimming through breathtaking caves and cascading waterfalls, Mexico truly has it all. Each experience has enriched my appreciation for this beautiful country.

Mexico City, in particular, has been a delightful surprise. Despite warnings about its dangers, I found it to be an incredibly diverse, offering something for everyone. As someone who typically shies away from city life, I spent six days there—and I could have easily stayed longer. One of the highlights was visiting the iconic Casa Azul, the home of Frida Kahlo. If you plan to go, be sure to purchase your tickets at least two weeks in advance. I opted for a ticket through GetYourGuide; while it wasn’t the cheapest option, but as I am not one to plan I managed to get a ticket as few days before going.

As I continue to explore this vibrant country, stay tuned for more stories from my travels in Mexico.

Introduction to ArTtr3k

Welcome to my first ever blog, called Art Tr3k       ( Art trek)  by Dejana Lukac. As it literally will be me trekking around Central and South America with just my backpack full of art supplies.  I’m taking a year off from teaching art to explore different forms of creativity. I’ll connect with friends in the tattoo business to learn about their craft and culture. After that, I’ll travel solo, painting murals in remote spots across Central and South America. This year is all about growth and becoming a stronger artist and educator. Join me as I share the magic of artistic expression and the stories behind each creation. Together, we'll discover the beauty of art on the road.

2 weeks in Mexico already, how?

Hey everyone! Sorry for the late reply – if anyone’s even following along, haha! I got totally swept up by the sunny beaches, tasty tacos, and amazing live music. The weather here is unreal, and honestly, it's been hard to focus on anything else!   Solo travel has always been something I love, and it’s amazing how many cool people you meet along the way. I was In Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita, and let me tell you, the beaches here are  next level . In Puerto Vallarta, I’ve was chilling at Colomitos Beach, and if you’re ever in Sayulita, don’t miss La Lancha. Both spots are super easy to get to by local bus, and trust me, the surf here is perfect. Also, pro tip: If you’re looking for an affordable place to stay with awesome vibes, check out La Redonda hostel. They’re big on surf lessons and organize daily beach trips—definitely recommend if you’re into catching some waves! I got to experience  Dia de los Muertos  while I’ve been here. If you don’t know, it’s a multi-da...
