Go to http://www.vessi.com/xiaoma to get $25 off some amazing Vessi shoes! As mentioned in the video, I will be donating 100% of the proceeds of their sponsorship to the nonprofit Na’atik Language and Culture Institute (https://www.naatikmexico.org/), which funds the language education of hundreds of kids in this part of Mexico. Anyway, this week I spent living in the remote Mayan village of Señor, Quintana Roo, located in the middle of the jungle in Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, which is also known for such international tourist hotspots as Cancun and Tulum. Having seen my videos practicing the Mayan language here in Mexico, some people from the village invited me out here to experience true Mayan culture. So I decided to spend a week living in the village with a local Mayan family, practicing my Spanish and Mayan and just seeing what their traditional lifestyle is like. It was a totally different experience from being in Cancún or Tulum and it completely blew me away!

About author
Hey everyone! I'm Xiaoma (@xiaomanyc) and until the age of 18 I grew up speaking exclusively English, and then I got the chance to learn Mandarin and live in Beijing for a year where I fell in love with Chinese food, language, and culture. This expanded my appetite to learn about cultures, foods, and languages from all around the world and now I share this passion with all of you! I offer language classes and consulting on my website, xiaomanyc.com.
