Let's fiesta! 

If you have been following me o social media for a while you will know a lot about PM and My Trish Adivosr BUT maybe you have never heard of Puerto Morelos GASP!!.... or My Trish Advisor! GASP again! haha, Let me introduce to you the charming town of Puerto Morelos, which I have been living in for the last 7 years, and myself!

Puerto Morelos (PM) is a small town located about 20 min from the Cancun airport and 30 minutes away from Playa Del Carmen.  The small town feel with the closeness to larger towns and an international airport draws a lot of people to come to visit and move to this area! We have stunning sunrises and colorful sunsets with the 2nd largest reef in the WORLD right offshore!  The people that live here are what really makes this town so special!  You will feel right at home with everyone making you feel welcome!

Who is this Trish gal??  Oh well, I thought you would never ask! Hola! my name is Trish and I am originally from Iowa BUT I left the cold winters of Iowa behind in 2001.  I moved to warm Huntington Beach California and lived in So Cal for over 8 years.  Then I moved to NYC got married and left that terribly abusive marriage.  Whew, got out of that one! Shortly after I left NYC to go back to Iowa I was recruited by my old boss to go back to Cali and I did just that. 

Ok Trish that's fine but how the heck did you end up in MEXICO? Funny you should ask, ok LONG story short I went to Rosarito by myself to do the JET PACK, yes to fly around over the water! After spending a few weekends there I met some people at a party that were driving to Cancun for diving jobs.  Well, I said I'd join them, and well... 3 days later I was driving my 2 dogs, Sassy and Peace Out Dog across Mexico with people we just met!  We had 6 people, 2 SUVs, and 4 dogs we drove over 3,000 miles across 18 states of Mexico which took 16 days!  I arrived on November 12th, 2015, in Puerto Morelos and after about a week people were asking me what I was gonna do, I was like oh I can't just DRIVE back! I guess I will stay a while!  Lol, It was a VERY FAR drive! haha, So I stayed!  I ended up flying back to San Diego selling everything I own officially quitting my job that I was KILLING it at then went home to Iowa to see family and friends and then arrived a 2nd time by plane on Jan 7th, 2016 officially moved to Puerto Morelos!

Ok, gotcha but how did My Trish Advisor get started??  By ACCIDENT, but now of course I believe it's all for a reason! Well….I was frustrated with some news that came out in March 2018 about how dangerous Mexico and people should not travel here. I decided to make a video sharing my frustration about how the media portrays Mexico. .  I basically said that people should not cancel their vacations because the news says that Mexico is dangerous.  That shootings happen even in schools in the USA and kids still go to school.  Of course, some people were very upset about what I said but my point was and still is that terrible things happen all over the world. We have the choice to sit on the couch and be scared or actually go out and make experiences of our own!  I had 2 videos that went viral that had over a million views each.  I never want a viral video again, its very stressful, people are mean! 

So after that, I had TONS of people reaching out to me asking things like: Where do you recommend to stay? What should we do while visiting? Do you know any good taco spots? I already had my tour company and that was called Adventurous Spirits Tours and NO ONE can ever spell that.  Well after a meeting with friends that were gonna help me with social media they were the ones that came up with My Trish Advisor. In our area Trip Advisor is everywhere and the new name just fit well!   Ya seeeee I had hired them to help me with Adventurous Spirits Tours and then it swiftly changed to My Trish Advisor. It just made sense.  I was a person that people could connect with and learn about Mexico and what it's like not just to visit but also to live here.  Since I had airport transfers and hosted day trips like catamaran sailing, cenotes, Mayan ruins, and MANY more for over 5 years it worked well to combine it with My Trish Advisor.  

Ok now what!?  I know many people are wanting to explore other areas of Mexico or want to meet new friends to travel with.  Also, some are nervous or scared to travel alone,  as a couple or with their family.   Then, for me I LOVE hosting people, throwing parties &  traveling sooo why not combine all that and create a community that can travel together!? 

I have helped groups from 4 to 100 travel the area, including weddings, families, MANY girls' trips, and corporate groups. I have also been making YouTube videos, FB and IG posts, and sharing all these beautiful places I visit but NOW I want to BRING YOU ALONG! This is why we are launching MTA Group trips! I hope you join us and invite your friends and family!

If you read all that thank you,  I know its long winded but I wanted to you know a little about me!  Also if you did read all of that I will buy you a drink! Just be sure to write “Trish you owe me a drink” in the booking or in an email that you send to me after booking this trip! MTAgrouptrips@gmail.com

See you soon in Mexico! 

Trish

P.S. We are only starting with Mexico, I have plans for many other locations but we will start with Mexico, there is a lot to explore here! 

For those of you that have been following me for a while, you know that I encourage people to travel to Mexico despite the negative media.  We want you to feel safe as possible and know that we can not control everything but want to do the best we can!  So first we do want to mention we will need proof of travel insurance for your stay. 

We want to take into consideration of weather issues and closures due to issues beyond our control but please remember travel doesn't always go as planned.  Please be patient if we have to make any travel changes along the way. 

Since this is a trip of adventure and for those thinking of moving to Mexico we want you to have options what you want to be involved in.   

Additionally, the tour is listed as a package, and no price adjustments will be given if someone wants to "opt-out" of an included activity. 

You will secure your spot with a $250USD deposit.  The deposit is non-refundable and the remaining balance is due by February 2nd.

We have a payment program that after the deposit you can break the balance into 3 payments to make it easier for those that may not have the money all at once!  I thought this was pretty cool because that would be me! haha  

We are staying at Ojo De Agua BEACH CLUB. on the beach in Puerto Morelos. The hotel is a BEACH FRONT hotel and has a big beautiful pool, a restaurant with an ocean view, and a beach club with a full bar!  This is where we will be having our welcome dinner and your first breakfast that is included. The first people who book have the first choice of the type of room they want.

Include A/C, Internet, TV, Fridge, bath soaps and room setups below

9 rooms with 2 Double beds

4 rooms with 1 King bed

1 room with 3 beds (Great option for friends that want to be in the same room let me know if you want this option!)

Getting around:

Walking distance to everything!

The location of the hotel is within walking distance of everything! Puerto Morelos is very small so you will be able to walk about 10 minutes down the beach to be at the main pier area.  This is also where the famous "Puerto Morelos" sign is to take lots of photos! 

Walk a 1 block more from the pier and you go to our very well-equipped grocery store called Chedraui! You can stock up on snacks, fruit, and any other items you might want while staying at the hotel.  With in walking distance, we have a local fruit stand that makes fresh juices daily! 

Taxi prices:

To La Colonia: $50 - $70 pesos

Playa Del Carmen / Cancun: $600 Pesos

Collectivos: $10 pesos

These are vans that act as small buses to get around.  If you are a little more adventurous and want to save money you can take this for $10 pesos a person from the beachside to the Colonia side of Puerto Morelos.  This is the part of town that is where the people that live here full time live for the most part.

 • Between Now - December 1st, MTA retains only the non-refundable deposit ($250) 

 • Between December 2nd till January 1st, MTA retains 50% of the tour price.

A single room for the duration of the trip is an extra cost of $250. -- This can not be canceled or refunded closer than 60 days prior to your trip.  

I wanted a variety so you can have a good idea of what it would be like from the perspectives of those who have MOVED to Mexico from Canada or the USA that have...

• Built a home here

• Rented then purchased

• Purchased a home right away

• Added to an existing home

• Has kid/s and can share a family experience as far as schools and activities for the kids.

and other many perspectives about money and living in Mexico! 

We will be meeting in a very casual space at a beach bar and the meeting includes one drink on me!  Those that are not interested in moving to Mexico are more than welcome to join us and collect your drink! (On the ex-pat meet-up day only)
