I am currently in Utah, about 30 minutes outside of Salt Lake City. Coming from a heavy quarantine/initial stages of a sweaty summer in Puerto Rico, it feels like I’ve moved into the Ritz Carlton. I’m residing in my friend Ari’s amazing childhood home, and it’s been a great few weeks. It’s odd to leave …
Trading Thoughts and Recommendations
I finally made some solid initial summer travel plans, starting with a one-way ticket to Utah on June 11. I’ve been planning to visit my friend Jeff in Montreal and then head to Sweden for the summer for a long time, but closed borders changed things. Fortunately my friend Ari in Utah has offered to …
Bored With the Status Quo
I’m finally genuinely bored of procrastinating and waiting for the quarantine world to change before I make progress in my own life. I did my new normal Monday workout last week of a few sets of handstand holds, pushups, and rubber band rows that is definitely better than nothing, but a fraction of the intensity …
Long Overdue Update
Enough weeks have finally passed that have pushed me over the edge to write a blog post. I’m either mentally attempting to blog regularly, or I’m on a hiatus, and the past few months I just haven’t had the motivation for it. I’ve started and stopped this post several times, with less to say as …
In Medellin
I fell off the internet for a few weeks now, sorry about that. I’m starting week 3 here in Medellin, and I’ve had virtually no downtime. On the weekends I’ve had to catch up on work and unwind a little bit, and I didn’t have the motivation to write when my eyes and brain were …
One More Week
After talking with Jeff, I realized that I wasn’t clear in my blog last week about when I’m leaving for Colombia. He thought it was imminent, but I’m actually not going until Feb 17th. Sorry for any confusion. If I get a post up next week, it should be my last one from the United …
Going to Medellin
As much as I talk about staying put and being content here in my little bubble of paradise, I end up booking trips eventually. I’ve had a great period of productivity (although it was a randomly crappy month of trading results, but I have a new algorithm running now that is very promising) recently, but …
Vieques
I got back last night from an impromptu weekend trip to the Puerto Rican island Vieques. My girlfriend found an airline service Taxi Aereo where she chartered a private flight for the two of us for something like $350, which was awesome. On the way back we had our flight booked at 1 pm, but …
Earthquakes
I’ve made it back to my blog after another hiatus. I missed hurricane season here in PR by coming back after September, but we’ve had an earthquake outbreak. There have been aftershocks every few hours for the past two weeks, but the large earthquakes seem to have died down. People in the south part of …
2020 Begins
I wasn’t sure how long my holiday blogging hiatus would be, but it seems like a good time to get back to it. Hope everyone had a great holiday season, although here in Puerto Rico we’ve just started. Tomorrow is Three Kings Day, which for many people here is bigger than Christmas and New Years. …
