Happy New Year here from Puerto Rico! It’s been a bit rainy, but I’m still in shorts and able to get to the beach once a week. I often lose perspective of the good qualities of wherever I’m living, but it’s easy to be appreciative being able to lay on the beach in January. …
Life Design
I’m currently at Boundless Mezcal Cafe in Cartagena (cold brew plus their empty upstairs area is a great working combo), on the last day of my trip in Colombia.
