    Gypset Mexican beach town Sayulita has been attracting surfers and barefoot dreamers for decades. Nestled on Mexico’s rainforested Pacific Coast, the town boasts a just lively enough beach scene dotted with cute boutique hotels, shops and cafes. It comes as no surprise that many of Sayulita’s visitors return again and again, with some even brainstorming ways to make the charming bohemian town home. Vancouver photographer Christie Graham has managed to do just that—Christie splits her time between her hometown and sunny Sayulita, living and working in both. We connected with the wedding and lifestyle photographer to get the local perspective on where to eat, drink, stay and surf, and how living in Mexico inspires her work and a more conscious lifestyle.
