I want to do some traveling this summer and I’m on a budget so I’m looking into backpacking trips. I’ve always wanted to travel through Mexico. Is it possible and advisable to backpack through Mexico? I found this website called Bamba Experience that has Hop On/Off travel passes on a bus network for travelers.
