Yet for those looking to extend their trip longer than just a day, out of bounds is, well, out there.

We’ve all been there: Awake at night, imagining the worst. Tsunami sirens blare, earthquakes level escape routes, fires rage across hillsides, tornadoes rip through neighborhoods.

After a three-month bikepacking trip down the Yucatán Peninsula with a friend, shooting a short film along the way, England returned with a notebook full of stories, ideas, and — like many travelers often do — a rather thin wallet. Rent, especially along the coast, has a way of rising exponentially by the day....
