Washington Adventures is about outdoor activities and adventures, as well as sightseeing and things to do in the state of Washington ( sometimes about other places I visit ). I try to write about things I personally have done and give my personal insights.
I grew up driving in Russia, super cheap airline tickets I drove in the world’s largest megalopolises like Moscow, New York and L.A. Driving in Seattle ( one of America’s most traffic congested cities ) is no piece of cake either. But I’ve never seen that many retards behind the wheel as I saw in Mexico !

One thing I wish I had during my travel around the Yucatan Peninsula is a road map.
