Oaxaca at a glance
I did not expect Oaxaca to impact me as much as it has. At first glance it is a state of vibrancy that represents the true rich Mexican culture. What quickly caught my attention was the vast array of colours that surround me wherever I go. The contrasting colours in the woven textiles and the walls covered in peeling paint that line the cobblestone streets make me feel alive.
Red Eyed and Sleep Deprived
And here we are! After over 24 hours of flying, customs clearing, gate to gate running and jumping in and out of planes hoping to make it to the next flight on time; we have arrived. Red eyed, sleep deprived and jet lagged, the true feeling of our trip never sunk in so heavy until we looked out of the airplane window at dusk, just to view a sea of lights beneath us folding over the horizon in every direction; it was endless.
The Cielo Story
I first envisioned Cielo Collective in the year of 2011. Love had led me to Mexico, to a city in the southern most corner known as Tapachula. Tapachula is a place of rugged beauty, where you have to look hard to find the glimpses of magnificence, but once you find them, they are captivating.
