Have you been looking to have a travel-themed night at home recently? This idea is great for current times, in which crossing borders and going on long-distance vacations is something that we can only dream about.

Mexico is a fun option if you want to plan a travel night at home, and it really isn’t that hard to do! Check out how to plan a trip to Mexico at home in three steps.

Prepare Your Favorite Mexican Dish

The first step to making yourself feel like you are in Mexico is to cook your favorite dish from the country’s fantastic gastronomical array. Search the internet for the recipe if you do not already know how to make it, and be sure to pair it with Mexican cerveza or one of the many other well-known drinks from the country.

Choose Mexican Music

As you eat and mingle with friends and/or family, one great way to set the mood is by choosing a soundtrack that will make you feel like you are south of the border. Whether it is Luis Miguel, Selena, or your favorite mariachi band, this will help you really feel like you have traveled there.

Find an Excellent Mexican Film to Watch

Mexico is represented on the silver screen by excellent directors such as Alejandro González Iñárritu and Alfonso Cuarón who have brought scenes from their home country that come to life in films such as Roma and Amores Perros. After you have eaten, listened to music, and relaxed, traveling to Mexico on the big screen is a great way to cap off your virtual travel day.
