Welcome to my now consistently late blog posting. I had this fantasy that I would do it every Sunday, but I often find that I just want to relax and read to finish the week. Monday is the one day of the week where I’m good about productivity, and it’s nice to get my week …
Random Week
Welcome back to the weekly addition of me twiddling my thumbs in Puerto Rico. Next week I head to New York City for the first time in a few years (not including airport layovers), and I’m looking forward to a trip report with my current Andrew 5.0 perspective on things. After that, I only have …
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 …
Working on Mindfulness
It’s been a busy week for me here in PR. We have a guest who leaves tomorrow, and the crypto markets have been going wild. Trying to entertain and not get sucked into the drama of the markets has been tough. Some of my normal routines and good habits fell by the wayside, but I’m …
Week in Montreal
It’s Sunday and I’m live from Montreal, Canada. I’m sitting in a cool co-working space called Crew Collective, which converted it’s space from a beautiful old school bank building. It reminds me of some of the opulent financial buildings I used to walk through in Chicago, except this one is actually meant to lounge in. …
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 …
Easter Week in San Juan
Happy Easter everyone! All 10 of you that read this. As it’s Easter and I’m getting a late start on this, I'm going to keep it brief this week. Mostly the past week I kept my head down and did programming related to research for my trading hobby/career. One thing I realized was that …
Some San Juan Recommendations
It’s Sunday evening here in San Juan with the sun just starting to dip. I got a little kick in the butt to do this blog today (thank you Mom) instead of pushing it into the week where there is never an obvious time to blog. I’m sporting a tiny sunburn from strolling by …
Back to San Juan
I got back to Puerto Rico a few days ago, after my longest flying journey to date. I started at 4:30 am on Monday (Puerto Rico time) and landed at 9 am Wednesday. I did get a room and spend a day in Taipei with my 21-hour layover there, but other than that it was …
Week 2 Bali
Just over 1.5 weeks here in Bali and still enjoying it. I’ve learned a lot here already in Bali. Drink more electrolyte water when it’s really hot out, especially when your stomach gets messed up (“Bali Belly”). You have to be pretty aggressive on a motorbike, or even just walking, if you want to …
