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.

Just a few notes from our perspective about this years Calenda for the Guelaguetza Festival in Oaxaca. We decided to sit out photographing the events in support of a local journalistic “blackout” of the event. They were protesting the recent, still unsolved murder of one of their own at the […]
What if you gave a party and no one showed up? What if those that did show up found the place where the party was being held was nothing like […]
You might not choose Henderson, Nevada as your taco destination if you are visiting the Las Vegas area. And once you saw the place you were told to visit was […]
