Another solid week here in PR. I was all excited to blog about it yesterday (Sunday) morning, but I went paddleboarding, had a great coffee, started reading, and then it was evening. I’m currently in the middle of my normal “workday”, but getting this out felt more important than my immediate research. When reflecting on …
Merry Christmas!
I’m currently in the air on my way to Michigan, looking at the clouds floating over the Caribbean. I’m spending almost a week in the town where I grew up, which is probably the most since I was on holiday break in college. The ocean below still looks warm and inviting, but I know soon …
Naval Podcast Review
I’m back in San Juan, butt planted on a stool at Gusto’s Miramar, my usual Monday location. Summer has arrived in Puerto Rico which means a few points more temperature and humidity -- just enough so that my new pants and long-sleeve-shirts are officially useless. A friend sent me the link to listen …
Thoughts on Structuring a Nomadic Year
It’s been a muggy and rainy week in Puerto Rico, but it helped me with my regret of not spending more time at the beach. I did discover some new restaurants, had a bit of wine, a new beach, and I remain surprised at how many interesting things in San Juan there are that I …
Weekly Update
Just got back from a hike in Canon Blanco in Utuado, Puerto Rico. If you get a chance to visit Puerto Rico and want to do a day trip from San Juan into the island I would highly recommend this place. You get to hike, swim, relax, see mountains, small waterfalls, and enjoy some fresh …
Weekly Recap
Really, really enjoy coffee. I could give up a lot of my other vices, but good coffee at the right time makes life so much more enjoyable. I can’t think of how much work I have been able to push myself through only because of a caffeine buzz. This past week I overindulged on …
Come to Puerto Rico
One of the first things I tend to think of when I’m writing these blog posts (Monday is the new Sunday for my writing schedule fyi) is where am I? This past year I’ve been traveling so much that an extended period in one city (or even country) has been rare. It feels strange to …
Change of Plans..
About two weeks ago I presented a rough draft of my all-inclusive daily routine that would lead me to bliss -- not realizing that going from waking up to the sunshine lifestyle, to regimented minute-by-minute planning wouldn’t turn out as easy as I thought. There’s a few non-negotiable things for me in my …
New Schedule for Productivity
Great week here in Puerto Rico. My friend Ian, from my olden days of equity options trading in Chicago, visited for half of the week. It’s crazy that I’ve been out of that business for almost a decade now. He was one of my main mentors at Third Millennium Trading, allowing me to use his …
Back in Merica (sort of.. PR)
I got back to Puerto Rico two days ago after what felt like a much longer than six-week trip to Europe. Feels great to be back. I got a little surprise upon returning to my apartment: my internet and water were not working, which seemed like not that big of a deal until I realized …
