Sayulita

Sayulita
Lately, I’ve been thinking about my blog. I left it for over a year, and I really miss having a space to share my photographs—a place just for me. I’ve been posting everything on my Instagram accounts, and now I finally have one for this blog too (which I haven’t even updated here yet… but I will, eventually).

For now, I wanted to share the latest pictures of my life in Sayulita since I moved here after returning from London. I needed something different—not a big city, but a small town. I’ve always felt drawn to surf towns, the beach, and all those tropical vibes, probably because my hometown is also by the ocean.

Right now, I’m working at a hotel as a reservations agent and in customer service—something I usually do (I like happy people, lol). Life here has been quite a journey—lots of learning, self-awareness, vibing with others, understanding myself, and learning to love myself too. So many people come to this town to heal.

Sayulita has this magic that’s hard to put into words—it’s more of a feeling. A long time ago, when I used to visit with friends to escape the ordinary life in Puerto Vallarta, I met a friend of a friend from Canada. She told me she felt like Sayulita had this big energy vortex that either absorbs you or kicks you out of town.

That thought stuck with me. I knew then that I had to live here one day, but at the time, my calling was elsewhere. I had other experiences to live, and so I did. Now, I’m back, embracing this beautiful town, the chill people, and the relaxed lifestyle. What more could I ask for? (Okay, I’m lying, lol—I could ask for a couple more things). 😜

Anyway…

Xx,

Quick post just to show a couple of photographs I've been working on, trying to play with the light and the landscapes of the bay. 

My best friends and I went to Punta de Mita as usual for a surfing session. The sunset was so intense and gorgeous this time that I had to take pictures of the light. I kind of like the way the silhouette of the human body looks on camera with the sunlight.

xx,
Grecia.

Exploring

Exploring



Sunday was my day off and I always like to do something fun and worth waiting for the whole weekend. Most of my friends surf (I don't, I have tried but it's not my sport) so I usually join them at the beach and we spend the whole day, exploring new areas around our town.


This Sunday we went to a small beach town called Quimixto and the beach is perfect for surfing, snorkeling, swimming, etc. It has a waterfall a little more deeply into the mountain so we walked (like 30 minutes, because it has a difficult road, basically is climbing a rocky path) up to see it and we spent less than an hour there, it was the calm before the storm when I saw the time for the first time in the entire day and realized that it was late! A quarter to 6:00 pm and the last boat that goes back to the city departs at 6:20 pm so pretty much we had to pay the bill and run back to the pier. I don't know how long the path is but it felt like 4 km. (We did catch it though).


The only way to get to this beach town is by boat, you have to go to Boca de Tomatlán pier, it's about a 30-minute drive from Puerto Vallarta, and the price per person is around 60 pesos ($3 USD).
