Hey all,
I’m Portuguese guy who lives in Lisbon and I’m thinking about to take a one year trip to México. I’m a “backpacker” and don’t want to travel to the tourists and “mainstream” places.
I want to immerse in the Mexico culture and get to know the locals. So, do you guys have any tips?
What it’s the best way to travel there? Where is recommended to sleep? They have some kind of hostels? How do I get a whole year VISA?
I’ve this crazy thought to buy a van in the US and travel there by car. At first, do you recommend it? Is it safe and comfortable to do it?
I was thinking about to meet some people who want to do this adventure and want to share the van costs. Excluding Matador do you know any other networks that you recommend?
Any other tips, ideas and thoughts about this I will appreciate. I’m only considering the idea, so a lot of stuff it’s not in my doubts, but if you have any info that you found interesting, please let me know.
Thank you a lot guys.+

I've not been to Mexico myself, but would love to go! I've moved your question to the North America forum as I know we have a few Travelbloggers who travel to that part of the world from the US and Canada, and they are more likely to find your question on this forum.
