Everyone is in Tulum and shit, now I want to go too

Do you know what I'm tired of? That eternal contradiction within myself. On one hand, when I'm traveling, I want to explore a lot, not meet people, discover the unbeaten paths, on the other hand, I want to lay my ass on a beach bed in Tulum right now. You know: Meeeheeexicóóóhooo. First, there was the trendy vegan/surf life in Bali, then we all had to go on a wine trip to Cape Town, and now I can't think of anything but Tulum. Yes, that place where all the Lil’ Kleines gather. The top models. The footballers. The Instagrammers.

Little sidenote: it's my sister's huge fault because she's chilling in Tulum now and only sending me ridiculously envy-inducing Mexico pics. One moment she's at the Teohuatican pyramids, then I see coconut beach pics, and then she sends me a #CoupleGoals photo from some kind of Instagram cave that you KNOW is an Instagram cave, but we don't care, we all spontaneously want to go to the Instagram cave.

The difference between jealousy and envy? You can only feel envy if you don't fully like someone. I like my sister. So I'm jealous out of love and text her.

Me: ‘Malou. Seriously. How is Tulum?’
Malou: ‘Look. It's ridiculously awesome.’

Yes. My sister says ‘ridiculously awesome.’

And actually, I think it's ridiculously awesome.

Me: ‘Is it expensive?’
Malou: ‘It is. But you can also choose medium.’
Me: ‘We don't do medium, you know that.’
Malou: ‘Azulik. You want to take pictures there. Just Google it.’

Me: *googles Azulik…

DAMN. I HAVE TO GO TO TULUM.

By the way, my sister isn't the only one there. Her friends are there too. I asked them if they could make a list for us Tulum newbies with the absolute coolest places to snack when you're there. No long list, just the best of the best. Clear and chill. Ready?
