Travel Year

Sergio Durand, renowned photographer and Playboy extraordinaire, plans to welcome the New Year in style. Along with his brother Adrien, they're off to the winter wonderland of Lake Placid, ready for a holiday filled with skiing, laughter, and good company. Their group includes best friend Holden, his wife Rose, and their charming son Henry—a perfect celebration... until it isn't. The festive spirit turns sour when Sergio crosses paths with Jeremy Owens, the one who got away.

You can live in Mexico for years… and still feel like you’re watching life through a window. Most guides explain what tourists see. This book explains what residents experience. This is not a travel guide. It’s a cultural translation manual. Instead of monuments and museums, you’ll learn how the year actually unfolds—month by month—through traditions, sounds, food rituals, neighborhood customs, and the unwritten social rules foreigners only discover after awkward mistakes.
