This week on the podcast we are taking you on an adventure of driving from Canada to Mexico! We took a trip back to Canada this summer to visit family and friends and decided that we wanted to drive our car down to Mexico. At the time of our trip, the US land border was still closed so we ended up shipping our car from Alberta to Salt Lake City and flying to meet it there.
We share what the process was like to transport a car across the US border, what our drive from Salt Lake City to Austin was like, the process of preparing to cross into Mexico with our car, crossing the Mexican border, and driving from the border all the way to Queretaro, Mexico where we are now! This was a super fun adventure that we are very excited to share with you!
Enjoy!
