Who knew over 20 years ago when Dave Miller first visited Mexico that it would become his adopted country.
Since that first visit, Dave has facilitated hundreds of groups traveling in Mexico. It takes a special person to be able to bridge the divide between the to cultures. Equally at home in the typical suburban three bedroom home in the United States or the small block home in a village in Mexico, Dave is that guy.
For the family who has never traveled in Mexico, to the person who is ready to venture off the typical tourist trail and explore something new, Dave Miller's Mexico brings a unique perspective. It is a perspective gleaned from years of travel and experiences that few will ever match.
Join him on his journey and experience Mexico as few have, step by step as he seeks to share the culture, the art, the food and the richest resource of all, the people of Mexico with you.

I’ve noticed lately the cultural appropriation wars heating up. Food, art and jazz are just a few of the areas where we are seeing this. Year ago I was in Westwood for a meeting. There was a small Japanese Restaurant there that by reputation, had good teriyaki bowls. That’s where […]
Oaxaca… 485 Years Young! Happy Anniversary Oaxaca. You had me from the moment I first met you in 1999. I stayed in an old hotel in Jalatlaco called Casa Arnel and […]
I’ve got to be honest, I can’t believe we have not reviewed mezcal from El Rey Zapoteco before. As one of the oldest established brands in Oaxaca, these guys have a great reputation. Just look at how often they show up on our “5 Mezcals Everyone Needs to Experience” lists. […]
The cruise ships are back, the real estate market is booming and business people are looking for space. For Ensenada, Mexico, a town that eight or nine years ago was […]
Sometimes you just have to have the fix. For one of my friends, he’s always jonesing for the Enchirito, a favorite of the Taco Bell set for many years. It […]
Put together some incredible sun, great fishing, a knock out villa, plenty of ice cold cerveza and mezcal and you have the makings of a great vacation on the coast […]
