Week 52: Mexico City
Holy hot damn. Week 52. It’s over. WHAT!? I will do a more extensive reflection on the year, but for now, here’s how the last week of Remote Year went down! Processing all sorts of emotions. Interesting Mexico things: I wrote previously about the poor water situation...
Week 51: Mexico City
This week was all about spending time with Parea, literally every week night. The end is getting real. Freaky and sad. Spent the weekend with some fun visitors, getting in some more exploration of CD MX! Culture Things: Because Mexico: supposedly this is the proper...
Week 50: Mexico City
Y’all, this was my first full, 40-hour work week all year. I’m exhausted. Is this what real life is like? Nahh in all honesty, work was busy in a good way and I still had time for activities. And yes, still plenty of time for tacos. Culture Notes: Mexico City is...
Week 49: Mexico City
And just like that, I’m into the last month of Remote Year (be prepared for a month of nostalgia). But, MEXICO, WHAT’S UP!? Also, hola 2020! 2019 was a hell of a year, how will I top it!? This month I’m living in a house with four others in the Condesa neighborhood of...
Week 48: Medellin
Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Holidays to all! I enjoyed a nice holiday with Parea, but I have to say, I was really missing home this week. I was reminded how much I love this week of the year at home as I watched all my family arrive to Franklin and...
Week 47: Medellin
This week primarily consisted of being sick in bed (just your standard head cold) BUT saw another amazing region of the country and got some very exciting job news! Things to note: Rappi food delivery, similar to UberEats, is used all over South America but is...

Week 45: Medellin
Medellliiiinn, what up!?! I am literally in love with Colombia, so far. First impressions? People in this city are SUPER friendly, weather is amazing (like 80 and sunny during the day), arepas de choclo are maybe the best food invented, so. many. hills (more like...
Week 44: Lima
Final week in Lima, Thanksgiving edition. While it was weird to be away from family, it was a special holiday spent with Parea (and a bit DIY, read below!). In the spirit of Thanksgiving and eating, I compiled a few bucket lists for eating and drinking in Peru. This...
Week 43: Lima
A week in Cusco: a summary. City is a nice blend of Europe and Morocco and will give you the Peru you always imagine. P.S. This was my favorite week in Peru, LOVED the little mountain town and all its surrounding activities. Them facts: The flag of Cusco is a rainbow,...
