In 2016, I traveled to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico (south of Cancún) with a friend whose photography was going on display at a gallery. That trip turned into a nine-month travel adventure. My travels took me through eighteen different states, and many cities, towns and villages.
Of course, my phone camera was very busy taking over a thousand pictures. There are some great photos, some good ones, and some not-so-good shots. I chose ten of my best that represent the diversity and unity of Mexican culture. It was a life-changing experience. I hope you enjoy them.

The markets (mercados) in Mexico are a very important part of daily life. You’ll find fresh fruits and vegetables, dried goods, flowers, toys, stationary, candles, and almost anything else you might need.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda.
As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience.
Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
