As someone who teaches people to speak Spanish on a daily basis, one of the main reasons people give me for wanting to learn Spanish is so that they can have an easier time of travelling.

And these people often ask me, “Anthony, will it actually help me getting around these countries, or am I just wasting my time?”. And my answer is always the same, a resounding Yes!

If you are interested in travelling to any Spanish speaking countries, then I highly advise you to learn Spanish online. While many people speak English well, being able to speak Spanish will mean that your experience is just so much better.

If you do actually learn Spanish, then you will get so much more out of your holiday. You won’t just be another tourist to the locals, you will be given much more respect once people realise that you’ve made the effort to learn their language, something that is rare from tourists from western countries.

I’ve had a few experiences in my travels that are testament to this. I was once on a train that was taking a different route that particular day. If I didn’t speak Spanish, I would’ve ended up miles away from my destination.

But handy things like that are only the beginning, the friends you will make by speaking Spanish abroad will far outweigh any other benefits of Speaking Spanish overseas.

So, if you are wanting to travel to Spanish speaking countries and don’t speak any Spanish, I highly recommend that you make a start right away. The sooner the better as far as I’m concerned.

Mexico vacations

My 5-year anniversary is coming up next year. Since my husband and I never had a real honeymoon, we’re looking into taking a nice anniversary vacation. On a limited budget, it may be hard to find someplace warm and tropical that won’t make us wish that we had stayed home. Our travel agent keeps telling us that there are some Mexico vacations that we definitely should consider. My husband’s comment to that was, “I want to go someplace where I won’t get sick from the water,” and that was the end of him considering anything to do with Mexico vacations.

I called my travel agent and asked her to send us some of the information on those Mexico vacations that she was so highly recommending. She did so immediately and between her brochures and information on the internet, I managed to find some Mexico vacations that actually sounded incredibly appealing. I approached the subject tenderly to my husband, telling him that we could take some bottled water with us and he could drink beer while we were down there instead of water. That seemed to peak his interest a tiny bit and we spent a few hours looking at the information.

A lot of the Mexico vacations that we were looking at included some really wonderful tours and excursions. I never realized how much history and culture Mexico offers to tourists and residents. Some of the surrounding activities were hard to overlook, which included swimming with the dolphins. I’ve always wanted to be able to swim with dolphins. It is just one of those things I have on my “to do” list. We called our travel agent back and told her to put together a few different Mexico vacations for us to consider and throw some pricing for the dolphin swims in as well. She sounded elated that we were taking her advice and within a few hours was calling us back. She had put together four different packages for Mexico vacations that we could decide between. They varied in price, but all were affordable and seemed like something we definitely could enjoy. All of the hotels were attractive and all-inclusive, which was a must for us. I hate to go on a vacation and have to carry money all over the place for meals
and activities. The dolphin swim was pricier than I would have agreed to but the packages were lower priced than anticipated so we could splurge and include the dolphin excursion.

After several hours of debating, my husband finally agreed that we should pick one of the Mexico vacations and book it. After getting over my initial shock and disbelief, we did exactly that. It turned out to be one of the most memorable anniversaries we’ve ever had.
