As the title states, I arrived back in Mexico City after a few weeks in Utah, and another month in Puerto Rico. Because I don’t tweet, use Facebook, and post perhaps twice a year on Instagram, I realized my updates are more sporadic, and large gaps in my travels are obscured now. Why am I …
In Mexico City
I’m going to start this post with my thoughts from 1.5 weeks ago when I started my pre-trip blog, but never finished it: “I’m unbelievably excited and ready to go to Mexico City. I leave this coming Friday, and I’m staying until June 1 at a minimum. I would say for the majority of trips …
Back to Isabela
It’s been a good few weeks here in Puerto Rico. I finally built enough confidence in my stock trading algorithms; confident that they will run automated and make essentially no mistakes, and confident that they will earn expected value. The markets have coincidentally been behaving oddly since I got things running, but I made money …
Happy New Year!
It’s Sunday here in Puerto Rico, and I’m finishing out the last few hours of a great week. For the first time since I can remember, I gave myself permission this past week to take a “vacation” from trading research. I still check my crypto trading twice a day to make sure it’s going smoothly, …
One Month in Utah and Random Thoughts
I’m still in Utah, closing in on a month as of today. It’s everything I could want for a summer residency: beautiful mountain views/fresh air/amazing hiking, good weather, good coffee, a great gym, nice people, and the right amount of infrastructure (Whole Foods, etc.) that I don’t feel lacking in any first world convenience. I …
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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
St. Barth’s and Being more Carnivore
Apologies to my loyal blog followers for taking last week off. Ironically I got back from an amazing trip to St. Barths with plenty of pictures to post for once, but I felt mentally drained. There are many weeks where I’m not sure what I’m going to write and push through anyway, but a few …
