It seems a little bit fitting that one full month into this I had a pretty normal day where I had a normal breakfast and a normal walk to work and a normal day which ended in my joining a gym and working out to feel a little more normal and making my most glorious…
Month: January 2017
Day 29
Did some exploring today and while I’ve got an entire month to get to know the ins and outs of Bogota and feel comfortable here, so far I’m still thinking that Mexico City was my cool pretty elementary school with my cool weird art teacher and my family had to move to a new state because of my…
Day 28
First full Meraki travel day was calm, delicious (final meal from Los Loosers was a hit), slow, delicious (being someone’s +1 in fancy airport lounges is my new hobby), calm, and then very hectic and chaotic but you know what, now we’re in Bogota and it’s month two of this madness.
Day 26
Leaving Mexico soon + missing the normalcy of home (meal prep? regular exercise? familiar faces? speaking the same language? being able to quickly grab a healthy snack? these are very good things) + doozy of a sinus infection making it hard to breathe and open my eyes = not uh, not my favorite day so…
Day 25
Town halls to side trip decision crises to lots of work to do to mentally preparing to leave Mexico (just kidding, impossible) to realizing that this will be me at the end of every month.
Day 24
It’s occurring to me after finishing a meal at Quintonil (ranked #12/50 in the world) and having recently eaten at Pujol (#25/50 in the world) that this has been the best month of eating of my entire life, and that is reason alone to return to Mexico City (along with all of the other reasons…
Day 23
People often ask me if it’s possible to develop a routine on Remote Year and the answer is yes of course, using today as an example: mostly a head-down, get-work-done day, sprinkled with some huevos rancheros, side trip planning, souvenir shopping, shrimp tacos, and your usual nightly all-Meraki goal setting, mantra writing, and forced looking…
Day 21
I had big plans for today, the best plans, millions of people will tell you…but due to the fact that Friday was a late night I can sum up today fairly easily: uber, breakfast, walk, spin class (v risky.), walk, lunch, walk, almost attempt shopping at Chapultepec Park but succumb to lethargy, uber, nap, grab…
Day 19
I’ve had a long list of cool cafes, restaurants, shops, and markets to check out for a while so this morning I took a few hours to visit a good chunk of them and photograph them, which required about 4 hours of walking around the city and ordering coffees, pastries, and tacos, and I followed…
