➡ ABOUT ME
My name is Crosby and I'm a solo traveler, digital nomad, and full-time traveler! After a few corporate jobs throughout college, I quickly realized that the 9-5 lifestyle wasn’t for me. So in 2019, I took the leap into the freelance world and started traveling the world full-time - from solo traveling Mexico to road tripping Portugal to living in a travel trailer, I'm absolutely addicted to this lifestyle. Right now, I'm back in Mexico and sharing my adventures here on UA-cam!

I tried to scuba dive in Costa Rica. We did our little training in a pool. Once they tossed us in the ocean, I started having a panic attack, just knowing my tank was going to run out of oxygen or something crazy. So, my head barely got under and I decided to hang out on the boat instead. You got great under water shots!
I love how honest, raw, and pure your videos are. Seeing the struggles and the victories really make you more personable. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for posting, I am researching what to do when I go to Playa and Cozumel in a couple of days
Great area of Mexico to hang out and dive! I went cave diving at Dos Ojos and The Pit last time with Akumal Dive Shop. I had trouble equalizing as a beginner too! The trick for me is to descend vertically and stretch my neck (eustachian tubes) to the sides while keeping back pressure. Then they equalize. Below 33ft I’m good, it’s just that initial first atmosphere where I sometimes have trouble. Learn scuba someday Crosby Grace! Exploring for hours underwater is magic! Come up to Alaska one summer! Explore the southern coast and up to Denali by air and sea! No other landscapes compare!
Free Diving ! Great experience , sometimes water is So Cristal Clear, that is like being suspended, weightless . Great times !
So true!!
That was so dang cool, you get to do the most awesome stuff! I'm happy that you conquered the free dive, I couldn't do that, and the next day you were doing it even deeper and enjoying yourself so much! I'm jealous that you swam with manatees. Enjoy your family and I wish you, Dylan, and your families a Merry Christmas!
Definitely an amazing place to visit 😊 keep up the great content.
Thank you!! Such a magical place, that’s for sure ✨
We took our 3 kids to Eden this year + loved it! My fav cenote so far. So fun to swim to little caves with my kids and snorkel + see so much wildlife. And jumping off the cliff was fun too.
Aww what a trip that must have been!
We looooved cozumel snorkelling too. Such amazing clear water right at the beach + sooo many fish
So amazing!
Wow! Amazingly beautiful underwater ❤
You're such an inspiration
What a very cool experience! I'm sure I probably would have the same problem with the ears if I were to go underwater that deep. I'm glad they give you techniques on how to combat those problems. The adventure on the boat looked like so much fun too! I really enjoyed this one Crosby!
Wow. The water does look amazing
Awesome video! Beautiful footage and so nice to follow your journey! Very well done! 👏 👏 ❤❤
Wowwww México is amazing ❤
After your last video i was gonna ask for more info on your free dive journey..and he it is! Thanks! I'm on at surface snorkel like maybe 4 feet lol but i DO panic and scare myself any deeper. Gonna work on that!
Thanks for the encouragement!
excellent video
Someone had a really good time there!
Crosby Grace Travels! Thank you for posting.
canned octopus feet will be amazing
Hey dude next time you're in Mexico city I can take you on a tour of Ecatepec (the most dangerous place in the mexican plateau) and the northern parts of the city (Lindavista, Martin carrera, etc) just be ready to see poverty and sadness lmao.
I have just subscribed to your channel. It is a very informative and fun channel. Can you make a video in the future about UFO's in Mexico? Don't know if you have come across this subject while living in Mexico, but I know for a fact that this topic is very prevalent there!
Thanks for subscribing! I haven't heard much about that haha but sounds interesting
Great cute ladyblogger, thanks for showing the world how amazing is Mexico
Awesome, but why did you use wetsuits? you are in the jungle, is hot, the water is little cold but not so freezing.
Our free diving instructors told us to because even though the first one wasn't too cold, we were in the water for 3 hours and eventually your body will get super cold. The second cenote was VERY cold and we were shivering even with wet suits on!
Freediving is all about slowing your heart rate and moving as little as possible, which cools your body as well. Even in warm water, you sometimes still need a wetsuit because of this especially if the session is long.
Yeah I could never dive because of my ears. I tried but no Bueno
Crosby how do you find these places where to go? Is there a site that you look up on the web?
