Hi! I'm Jamie and I am a street art-obsessed, crochet artist/literature enthusiast/travel addict. I have lived in 6 different countries around the world, travelled to 29 and have recently added videography to my list of hobbies. My videos are primarily about the travelling I do, but also the events around the places I am currently living in. Follow along to see what I get up to!
Souvenirs of OAXACA, MEXICO
I go on a mission through downtown Oaxaca City as we explore the vibrant Centro Histórico and discover some of the best Oaxacan souvenirs. From bustling markets to charming local shops, this walk showcases the incredible variety of handmade crafts and traditional Mexican folk art that Oaxaca is known for.
I wander through the colourful aisles of the famous Benito Juárez Market, where you’ll find a rich collection of alebrijes-intricately painted wooden animal figurines that are a hallmark of Oaxacan artistry. Along the way, we also explore unique handcrafted ceramics, beautifully designed pottery, and a selection of hand-embroidered clothing that highlights the region’s rich textile heritage. For those seeking something truly special, we also take a closer look at loom-woven rugs, a timeless craft that represents Oaxaca’s indigenous culture.
No trip to Oaxaca would be complete without experiencing its world-renowned mezcal. In this video, we explore a variety of locally produced mezcal options, offering a taste of this traditional Oaxacan spirit. Additionally, the video features locally made jewelry, including one-of-a-kind earrings crafted by skilled artisans.

Que americanos buena onda chidos arriba usa y oaxaca mexico
So many beautiful and cute souvenirs😍
That “pool” you mention is part of the Botanical Garden property. You get great views of it from this museum.
Yes! We went and toured the garden after the filming of this video. It's a gorgeous garden.
My favorite museum in Oaxaca. If you only have time for one museum, this is it. Great video and wonderful editing - you’re a pro. This building has been used as a convent, a military area and I think even a prison at different times. Much history here.
I agree- it's a well-rounded museum that I especially appreciated for the Monte Alban artifacts. Interesting history on the actual building also!
A simple recommendation... respect the customs, traditions and culture of the country and not do it your way.
What is it about my way that is disrespectful?
What are you talking about you brainwashed!! Stop writing nonsense!! Don’t worry guerita, you’re doing just fine! I would love to see more Americans in Mexico!😀
Are you coming to Mexico city? send a message or reply if you are!
Wow 🤩 Beautiful
Excelente video muy bien explicado y en un futuro me gustaría conocer Oaxaca saludos
¡gracias!
😪😪😪😪😪😪
Awesome street art. Surprising how good all you have shown is. Reminds me of some street art in Latino areas of San Diego where i live. Thanks 🙂
Interesting! I'll have to come to San Diego some day to see that.
🙏🙏🙏
imag3n3s que se comunican directamente con nuestra inteligencia 🙀
Go to the fraccionmiento El Rosario, there is a university in front of the fraccionamiento, the university is called URSE and go to 9th Street and you will see several murals in the houses, and then go to the health center on 6th Street, you will see a similar mural in the wall of a house, and in the same street you can find an a famous restaurant called la panadera y el chef, where you could eat, also in front of the URSE university there are restaurants called "fondas" where you can eat regional Oaxaca food
El Mirador means The Lookout or The Viewpoint. Espejo (s-pay-ho) is Spanish for mirror. Monte (mon-tee) Alban not man-tee.
Benito Juarez was the 26th president of Mexico from 1858 until his death in 1872. He was the first indigenous president of Zapotecan ancestry.
No se por que cuando un extranjero dice “Día de LOS Muertos”, suena tan mal.
a crazy trip to fungi world🙀😸
Helloo!! I live in Oaxaca and I also visited Jalatlaco during day of the dead 🥰 you are absolutely right the street art is amazing and im so in love with how colorful the city can be. Btw the mole negro is not a bean paste, it is made with dry chiles, spices, garlic, chicken broth and even chocolate!! so goood!! hope ur enjoying ur stay here :)
Ah-ha, I knew I tasted chocolate! Thanks for that info.
did you have to buy your tickets in advance? if so, where did you purchase them? Thank you!
Nope! We bought them at the door.
@ oh ok! Did you wait long?
@@supdwreckk Not at all, there wasn't anyone else in line. There is a 'pre-show' type thing before the actual start time and we went for that too, so there were very few people there for that and we got a great seat. When the actual show was about to start, that's when it got busy.
Absolutely gorgeous episode my friend! This looks and feels amazing! Absolutely amazing!
🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much!
Omg! I own a business there . That is awesome
Oooh! What a great place for a business!
@ yeah, thank you for making a video about it
Great video beautiful scenery
Great video friends! I was born in that beautiful state of México! And I miss my land because I am an inmigrant and I live in California! So thank you guys for all the excellent videos that you made about Oaxaca! ❤
Thank you, It is a beautiful land. I am sure you are proud of your roots.

@thegonzalezs4953 Hola 👋 paisano! Si yo soy de la capital de Oaxaca la colonia donde alguna vez viví esta por el área del ex-marquesado cerca de la antigua estación del tren! Saludos y un abrazo !
@ orales , pues la verdad no conozco la ciudad, pero en unos meses más iré a visitar a la capital, ya que videos como este hace que uno quiera ir a visitar a nuestra tierra. Cuando estando allá uno ni le interesaba ir a visitar
@thegonzalezs4953 tristemente así es paisano! Pero primero Dios y nos de licencia para un día regresar y disfrutar de nuestro hermoso estado!
Hello , we discovered you channel yesterday, i finally convinced my wife to go visit my state , im from Oaxaca but living in the states now . Yes im from Oaxaca but I don’t know all those places. That’s why we are watching all the videos about Oaxaca 😊. And by the way you look alike like Anna from Downton Abbey 😊
That is understandable. I am from Ireland and only visited the sights when Jamie came to Ireland. We all do it! I am sure your wife will love it here; it is beautiful.
@ im glad you’re enjoying my state and hopefully people is treating you well there .
Hello! You have a lovely place here! Oaxaca is one of the most beautiful cities I've visited- I'm sure your wife will love it.
@@onceuponaglobe I hope so ,thanks for all the videos from Oaxaca
La cotidianidad no nos deja apreciar la belleza del entorno. Vivo en la cd de Oaxaca y mucho de este arte urbano no lo he notado. Excelente video
Eso es muy cierto: es difícil apreciar lo que hay a la vuelta de la esquina. El arte callejero es algo que busco específicamente cuando visito una ciudad nueva porque da una muy buena idea del ambiente de un lugar.
Art art art art art Amazing video !! Thanks for sharing Greetings !!
Wow. very lovely video guys !! Making urban tourism just to see street murals in a video is not a common thing. So bc the girl has such as sensitivity we can appreciate the other side of Oaxaca.
Thank you! Street art is a great way to get a feel for a new city, so I always love looking for it!

When my wife and I got married, this was our honeymoon destination. We had such a great time. You missed out by not visiting one of the "Panteon"s. That was a moving experience that I hope I can experience again.
That sounds nice- I went to the Panteon Xochimilco the day after the video was recorded. There's a video of that too
@onceuponaglobe ah my mistake i will check that video out later today!
We just got back from Oaxaca from the festivities. Such an incredible time. I hope you two had as much fun as my wife and I did.

ABOUT HALLOWEEN MASK: Originalmente las máscaras son mascaras hechas de forma artesanal, de madera o cartón y estas representan los demonios dentro de la lucha eterna entre el bien y el mal, la dualidad en esta vida, ese simbolismo está presente en otros eventos que los pueblos de OAXACA festejan, en los años recientes (90`s) con la apertura comercial entre México, Estados unidos y Canadá se hizo más fácil obtener ese tipo de mercancías (mascaras), además debemos de hacer notar que las fiestas de halloween son muy cercanas a estas fechas del Dia de muertos, entonces ahora a muchas personas les resulta mucho más practico comprar $$ una máscara y evitar gastar tiempo elaborando su mascara artesanal. Así fue como las máscaras de Halloween acabaron en las fiestas de Oaxaca.🙃🙃
Wow! That's so interesting and makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the info!
Saludos hermosa son muy buenos tus videos ya me subscribe
¡Muchos gracias! 🥰
México la casa del mundo viva México
Well, great video girl. So far how do you guys like Oaxaca? The weather is good, the food is good, the people is grumpy sometimes.
Thank you so much! I'm loving Oaxaca so far- it's exceeding my expectations. The weather is perfect- not too hot for me. Food is spectacular, and endless local dishes to try (and seems pretty healthy overall). I haven't found the people grumpy yet 🤣 they have mostly been super patient with me trying to speak spanish.
dia "DE" muertos ASTA CUANDO LO APRENDERAN LOS EXTRANGEROS
Al chile, eso es quejarte por mamadas. Y si vas a corregir a alguien por un error al escribir, primero aprende a escribir: es "hasta", no ASTA
Si tu no eres capaz de escribir Español correctamente, ¿porque esperas que ellos lo hagan? Hasta lleva "H".
Excelente video, son agradable ambos. Y gracias por visitar mi pais. Aunque muchos deseariamos que se acabaran la violencia. Lo digo por lo que piensa algunos en USA. Y disfrutáramos con ustedes de la fiesta siempre. No se ingles así que disculpen por la traducción. Y Bienvenidos. Excellent video, they are both nice. And thanks for visiting my country. Although many of us would like the violence to end. I say this because of what some people in the USA think. And we will always enjoy the party with you. I don't know English so sorry for the
¡muchas gracias! No hablo español muy bien así que también tengo que usar un traductor. 😅 Los mexicanos han sido muy acogedores con nosotros. Es un hermoso lugar, gracias por ser tan amable!
Día de los muertos
Yea 😬 I'm learning.
Beautiful
Great video, thanks
Super media and touristy, a beautiful tradition deformed to attract tourists, I am from Oaxaca and I have good memories of my childhood and how it was a beautiful and simple tradition, now it is a whole carnival spectacle.
@@lalolanda6872 I agree with you
Yeah is now a huge party , less intimate but don't get wrong, the tradition, the simple and warming tradition still exit as you know in everybody house, I don't see nothing wrong to celebrate and show to the world in a festive way a little of what is all about.
@@felipecasas5852 por supuesto, la base de la tradición es familiar en cada casa con ofrendas y altar e ir al panteón, y si, aquí en oaxaca hay muerteadas y comparsas en cada localidad desde siempre, también toda la parafernalia qué hacen para los turistas beneficia ya que el centro vive del turismo, pero no se parece en nada a como era hace 10 o 20 años y seguramente muy diferente mis tiempos de los tiempos de mis abuelos.
Excelentes todos los videos 👍gracias por compartir 🤍
¡Gracias! 🥰
Eres muy bonita
