In this episode of DeMochilas, we begin the Mexico season in Nuevo León, starting with our journey toward Monterrey. Traveling through my own country changes the way I experience places, and this chapter begins not at the destination, but on the road that leads there.

What was planned as a straightforward drive from Mexico City to Monterrey slowly turned into an unexpected detour that reshaped the beginning of the season. From route planning and transportation decisions to long hours on the highway, this episode reflects how travel stories often begin long before arriving at a city.

This chapter sets the tone for exploring Nuevo León: familiar territory seen with fresh eyes, unexpected challenges, and the reminder that sometimes the journey itself becomes the story. Monterrey was waiting, but the road already had plenty to tell.
