After traveling to many other parts of Mexico, from Mazatlán to Cancún, Monterrey to Mexico City, he was told everywhere he went that he needed to see Oaxaca. \u003cbr\u003eIn 2010, Cody began teaching English at a public university in a tiny desert town about two hours south of Oaxaca City and was finally able to discover this magic for himself. He spent a year and a half in Miahuatlán de Porfirio Díaz, and it didn't take long for him to realize that he had found Mexico's best-kept secret. He took advantage of every opportunity available to get to know the place and its people, from donning colorful costumes for holiday parades to sharing traditional meals with locals in their homes.\u003cbr\u003eCody is a writer of essays, travel guides, and poems. His work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eLapham's Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Texas Observer\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Río Grande Review\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMexico City Lit\u003c\/i\u003e, among others.
