Trying to live a good life
I took a stay-cation and went to the south part of Puerto Rico (less than a 2 hour drive from the north where I live) for a few days and feel rejuvenated. It’s crazy how burnt-out I was, and how just a few changes in a short of amount of time can fix that. The …

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 …
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 …
I just got back last night from a half-week in England. The one and only extra trip I wanted to make in Europe this summer, one that I've been curious about for years, was to see Oxford and Cambridge University. After my freshman year of college I became enamored with elite universities. During my summer …
So last week I blogged about how I was happy about being in Stockholm and not needing any more summer travel or plans. Naturally a week later I find myself with a flight to London this coming week, and one to Croatia in two weeks. I even attempted to book a day of flight this …
Another very social week here in Stockholm with the Midsummer holiday on Friday. The equivalent to me in America is the 4th of July, with almost everything shutdown Friday-Sunday. I celebrated with my girlfriend and her family eating shrimp, herring, and some steak (not Swedish style, but good on the grill). We also played a …
After a few weeks of traveling, I’m now (almost) settled into Stockholm. I’ve got a co-working office, a CrossFit gym, and some quality local food/coffee. It’s pretty great as everything is within a 6 minute walk, but I’m still figuring out the best way to assemble my day. One thing during traveling I didn’t …
Very busy week for me, which isn't always saying much, but this week I pushed pretty hard mentally. I leave for Tampa, Florida for two days, Oslo, Norway for 3-4 nights, and then Stockholm for the rest of June/July. With these pre-travel periods I either mentally check out for a week, or I actually get …
I just had a phenomenal week. It's funny how small life decisions can make such a big impact on my overall state of happiness. Nothing major happened last week, I didn't make money or do anything that I felt was groundbreaking, but I did make some small changes to my current path which feel correct. …
I had a good week back in San Juan. I followed through on some of my plans finding a real office to work out of (https://www.cospazio.com/ ), and getting work done. I was really hesitant to spend money to sit at a desk when I can do the same thing at a coffee shop for …
