The Mayan Riviera is a privileged strip of magnificent white sand that stretches across several small towns along the Caribbean-facing edge of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. Warm crystal waters and nearly perfect year-round weather have drawn savvy travelers here for a few decades, and a strong tourism sector has since sprung up in response. Visitors are now surrounded by cultural options, including all kinds of music from indigenous Mayan folk to modern club tunes.

Held every August on a large farm acreage just outside the small locale of Salmo, British Columbia in the heart of Canadian wilderness is an annual phenomenon, both from an artistic and music perspective. Shambhala originally found its inspiration in its larger American counterpart, Burning Man, which is a massive communal event emphasizing community, self-expression, and radicalism. And, most importantly, a complete lack of corporate sponsorship – everything is run by volunteers.

Round up the troops, it’s time to head out for a group vacation. And not just any vacation, either – a wild, uncensored, anything goes party vacation to remember.

The festival season is almost upon us and we have to say, it can’t come quickly enough. But what to bring to festivals? Of course you should bring a pen to mark off your favourite artists on the timetable you’ll be given on arrival, some cosmetics to keep you fresh during the day and, of course, you shouldn’t forget your ID and wallet. But that’s about it. Oh, and make sure you’re dressed right for the occasion – dancing outdoors for an entire weekend is way more fun if you are feeling comfortable!
