In an interview, Phil can talk about the the following travel trends, as well as their latest in the popular series of travel guides: SO, YOU THINK YOU KNOW MEXICO? THINK AGAIN!: Mexican culture doesn’t stop at margaritas and mariachi. With more than 60 different indigenous groups, global influences from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and civilizations that date back thousands of years, it’s a colorful and diverse place that can’t be easily defined. From rowdy, weeks-long fiestas to elegant colonial churches, ancient Maya temples and craft-brewing hipsters, Mexico offers endless variety. Phil can talk about underrated Mexican towns you must see, the mystery of the Muxes of southwest Mexico, festivals beyond Cinco de Mayo and Dia de los Muertos and standout colonial cites and towns. All of this is captured in the latest in the popular series of travel guides published by World Nomads.com Mexico: Where Nomads Go which is now available for free download.

A survey by Skift in 2018 found that 67% of travelers would rather spend their money on activities than on a nicer hotel. ECOTOURISM: We're all becoming aware that the planet is fragile and we’ve been doing a good job of destroying it for many years. The need to think green in everything we do is crucial. So why go to a place that’s been developed so much it no longer resembles the thing that attracted you in the first place? Fo
