Hey /trv/,
I'm flying to Mexico City on June 26th.
From then until July 21st, I'll have free reign over my time in the country. However, I'm still not sure where to go or what to see.
Some of the suggestions I've gotten in the past include Puebla city, Guadalajara, and the state of Oaxaca.
I'm interested in cultural learning, casual nature excursions, and eating lots of cheap, delicious food. Since I've been single for a year, places with decent nightlife and a handful of English-speaking locals might be worthwhile, too.
Not into hookers or drugs.
Budget is probably $30-$40 per day. I make around $600 per month doing 5-6 hours per week doing some easy and reliable work on my laptop ($1,000 gross, but I have loans and bills to pay).
Any suggestions would be lovely. I'm leaving in less than three weeks and am still sort of at a loss.
Going to try to learn more Spanish, too. Recommendations on that front would be appreciated.
tl;dr - recommend me safe places to go in Mexico with good food, nightlife, and nature, without having to worry too much about getting my laptop jacked. Spanish-language resources for the upcoming weeks would be great, too.

He's not wrong though. Memes aside, Mexico is a dangerous place dude. What makes you think you will be fine wandering around the country as a gringo who doesn't even speak Spanish? Stick to the touristy areas and you will be fine. Put the whole 'real traveler' stick aside and be realistic.

I'm just looking for suggestions on places to go, Anon. Either recommend a few destinations or go away.

Puebla has nothing to offer you besides some good (but not cheap) souvenirs and a few colonial buildings.
Guadalajara and it's sorroundings are way better if you want to explore the authentic Mexico, if you hit GDL and it's sorrounding towns then you are on the craddle of Mariachi, Charreria and Tequila, you dont get more mexican than that.
Also, avoid oaxaca, it's infested with narcos and it's pretty unsafe for a traveller, such a sad thing because the cuisine of that state is really good.

Puebla is beautiful though. It's colonial-beatiful - nothing pre-columbian there, but still. Also nearby is Cholula there's some indigenous stuff there.
