What I packed for 6 months in Mexico

In this blog post I am sharing with you everything I packed for 6 months in Mexico. Some of the things mentioned below may not apply to everyone, however this will hopefully give you an idea of what to take. I am landing in Cancun where I'll spend 2 weeks exploring the surrounding area, and then heading to Isla Mujeres and Playa del Carmen. I will then be travelling to some other states including Yucatan, Oaxaca, Mexico City, etc where I'll be staying for a about a month in each place.
