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 was at the first Taste of Mexico in 2010 at St Vibiana’s in Los Angeles. It was the first food event I covered when I was doing some work […]
Keep it simple. Often times that’s the best advice you can get. Especially if you want to run an airline. TAR Airlines in Mexico seems to be doing just that, […]
I sent a note to Bricia Lopez of Guelaguetza Restaurant in Los Angeles a few years back asking if she could connect me to a guy making mezcal in San Dionesio Ocotepec who I had heard about. I was doing some writing for the Multi Cultural Cooking Network and wanted […]
