About The Diplomat

The owners

Canadian owners, Sara de Ruiter and Neil Haapamaki have spent the last 20 years exploring the globe together. These expert travelers have deliberately taken the road less traveled and throughout their journeys have learned that adventure and fun can always be found if you have the proper tools. 

Now settled in Merida, they are excited to assist others in their quest to build their own adventure toolbox.
