Anyone can host a Mexico Night!

Mexico Night (Noche Mexicana) is a public party which explores Mexican culture, festivities, food, crafts //and// conscious travel, ecotourism and responsible travel. It can be conducted on any budget. Just use your imagination and remember 'el único tope es el cielo.'

How MexicoNight Works
Our idea borrows from social bridging exercises and Open Space Technology with the addition of green drinks and // botanas //.
