México

Its a sunny morning in México, you feel the warmth like a hug from your grandmother. You just crossed the border. Your friendly taxi driver paints a vivid imagery of Mexico's geography that includes snow capped volcanoes, deep valleys, dry deserts, lush rainforests, and extensive coastlines.

You take a sip of coffee. The podcast you are listening to says Mexico's history goes back 13,000 years. You also learn that ancient advanced civilizations like the Aztecs, Olmecs, Mayan and others have a profound legacy. The Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, was larger than any European city at the time. In Mexico, Indigenous, Spanish and other cultures mixed in a molcajete to what it is today.
