HOW I'M SPENDING MY FREE TIME NOW THAT I'M NOT TRAVELING

September 18, 2020

There are a many reasons why people travel. Some say that getting away and exploring places allow them to appreciate our planet’s beauty and diversity. Others may do it out of curiosity or to fight boredom. In my case, I travel not only out of genuine interest in getting to know other cultures and as a path to personal growth, but also because travel is fundamental to what I do to earn a living.

5 PLACES IN ATLANTA I LOVE

May 22, 2019

As some of my readers may already know, I lived in Atlanta, Georgia for almost 10 years, before moving to Miami this past February. I can’t really say why, but in Atlanta I felt right at home from day one. And although I saw it change quite a bit throughout my time there, I still love it very much and I also miss it now and then. I had started writing this post when I was still living there and, since I was feeling a bit nostalgic in recent days, I just couldn’t procrastinate anymore…I had to finish it so I could share it with y’all. These are 5 places in the A that I really enjoy, in no particular order.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE MEXICAN EXPRESSIONS

September 5, 2018

I had the good fortune to spend seven and a half years of my life in beautiful Playa del Carmen, Mexico. As a native Spanish speaker, adapting to my new home was pretty smooth for the most part, although I did find some differences between Peruvian and Mexican culture (which is quite normal, of course). Those differences were probably more noticeable in both our accents and terminology. Here, I am sharing a short list with a few expressions Mexican frequently use that I really like.
