Hi! I’m Mark, the New Mexico Travel Guy and welcome to my “New Mexico and Beyond” blog. This blog documents my travels within the great State of New Mexico as I chip away at visiting EVERY town in my home state of New Mexico. But rather than check off a list of places as quickly as possible, I intend to savor it by writing one blog post every other week (a new post every other Monday), highlighting events, travel advice, photos, and the people who live in this amazing Land of Enchantment.
As for the “and Beyond” part of this blog, I still travel abroad from time to time, often to some off-the-beaten path destinations that might be of interest. I tend to avoid larger cities and focus on small to medium-sized towns rather than the big-city tourist circuit. So, I’ll share some of these stories here on this website too. I hope you enjoy it!
Happy travels,
Mark
