Kathryn, of Vivien Travel, joins me to discuss La Catrina — the skeletal icon of Mexico's famed Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) holiday! La Catrina's origins & significance are as complex as the last century of Mexican history, but today, she represents, among other things, Mexico’s choice to live joyfully in the face of death... and even celebrate it, both during Dia de los Muertos & year-round. We also talk about the Day of the Dead holiday, which showcases one of the vast differences between Mexican and U.S. cultures with our divergent views on death. • Based on this blog: vivientravel.com/blog/bucket-list • Connect on IG: instagram.com/travelmexicosolo • Connect on FB: facebook.com/travelmexicosolo • Connect on Twitter: twitter.com/travelmexsolo --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dreamtodestination/message
