You generally feel safe in Mexico City if you’re in the “good” side of the city. People are super friendly, the transportation system is efficient and the food is amazing!!! Don’t miss churrería el Moro, the best churros I’ve tried!!! For good tacos go to el cocuyo, so good!

I had an incredible experience in Mexico City. It is a massive, bustling, vibrant city with a million things to explore. My family hit the main tourist attractions, including Frida Kahlo’s and Diego Rivera’s houses, Chapultapec Castle, walking around La Condesa and nearby artsy neighborhoods, going to the Zócalo, and going to various markets such as Mercado de la Merced. I ate the best food I have EVER tasted there, and I am not exaggerating. Make sure to eat Tlayudas, and I enjoyed trying fideo seco and in general any tacos I could find. I felt very safe there, but it is good to note...

I had amazing time with family and friends, I initially had no idea what Mexico City would be like, but as the time went on I realized on my own terms how incredible the city is. There’s is so much to do and the food is delicious.

Totally depends on the area where you are, can be very safe in a lot of places but there are many neighborhoods that as a tourist you should never step foot on As long as you stay in popular/touristy areas you will have the most amazing time. Mexico City is the best city in the world, no doubt about it! Unfortunately Mexico's government and situation in general is not the best but that shouldn't stop you from visiting one of the most beautiful and incredible countries in the world Just please be careful, don't go out alone at night, don't walk around lonely places also be aware of...

About me
Hey there! It’s Ivanozka from Mexico City 🇲🇽 I’m a performer and filmmaker, currently working on an independent documentary and artistic research project. This journey will take me through 16 countries on a budget, guided by purpose, intuition and presence. My work explores various topics of memory, collective consciousness, myth, and the relationship between landscapes (especially the sea) and human experience. Exploring the physical, spiritual and rather personal frontiers we encounter in life. I’m utterly interested in culture, history, tradition, art, and music. I’m a musician and play in a couple of bands in my home country, I’m passionate about modular synthesis and sound exploration, and in that matter I’d like to think of myself as a collector in a way. I’m especially drawn to folk music, the Romani culture, sea legends, old cemeteries, and the stories that live beneath the surface of them. I’ll be waking up early and usually have full days of filming, recording, and writing, so I value calm environments, clear communication, and mutual respect. I enjoy meaningful conversations but I’m also very comfortable with silence and shared quiet. I love cooking and sharing a meal, and I’m excited to learn about local food. I live with my husband Tony, and my roommate Annie whom I’ll be traveling with. We share our life with our cats, Noche, Neftis, and Igor. I really appreciate the trust and care of you letting me stay with you, back in Mexico we actively host when we can. We love welcoming people from different communities and sharing a safe space. I value kindness, boundaries, and honest connection, and I take this opportunity as a way to remember that we’re all, reflections of a shared collective consciousness. Thank you for reading and for opening your home if we share this core values.
