October was hard. I had to really learn how to deal. I tried not to let it get to me or convey how hard it was, but reality is it’s not always mountains and sunsets on Remote Year. I started the brutal night shift hours of Asia (way different than European hours), which meant I was…
Oh Valencia, the most charming city of all! From the winding, cobblestoned streets of the Old City to the salty boardwalk of the beach to the best bike paths of Jardines del Turia park and modernity of the City of Arts and Sciences buildings. Distinctly different from the most visited Spanish cities of Barcelona and…
They warned us about the cabs in Belgrade – use the apps or find a Taxi stand, otherwise they’re likely mob-run and will charge you extra. Two friends and I got in a cab home from the airport on our way back from a week in Dubrvonik. Our driver spoke zero English and the car…
July 2017…4 countries, 8 flights, 14 trains, countless busses to concerts and airports, a boat ride, a paddle boat, a few bike rides, Ubers, Taxify and even a vespa. This was the month of constant travel and visitors, and day one started with our one and only Digital Strategist, Alex! I think traveling this much…
“All About Gout…” I believe that was the broadcast title for a Takeda show, yes? Well, it seemed a fitting post title for Buenos Aires, Argentina…land of red meat – rare – and red wine, which I fully indulged in…but not as much as my brother when he came to visit, because he went home…
My introduction to Argentina was a small college town full of passionate people with traditions, pride and history…and who, fashion wise, are legit stuck in the 90s (check out the platform shoe craze!) – Cordoba. My first night, I got a glimpse into the politics. There was an elaborate protest outside our workspace with floats,…
Last month I had the opportunity to chat with Greg Caplan, founder and CEO of Remote Year (he’s from Chicago BTW!). Their leadership team reached out to everyone in our group to get feedback and talk about how the year was going (pretty cool thing to do). I used this time to ask a few…
Twenty years ago, Medellin was the most dangerous city in the world. If you’ve watched Narcos at all, you can be reminded of that. But, man is it hard to believe now. What they have done to turn this city around is incredible. Makes you think…if Medellin, Colombia can do it, McDonald’s should be able to,…
I had no expectations of Colombia and never thought I’d visit here, let alone live here – it was never on my list – but now that just seems stupid…I am so lucky to be here! Bogota was February and now I’m in Medellin, but, well, Kindle February meant no Bogota blog post…until now. Aside…
It is my last day in CDMX! If every month goes by this fast, I might just have to make it 2 years…JUST KIDDING! Amongst the McDonald’s crazy and a 3-day hiatus from food poisoning, I’ve managed to fit a lot in including a lucha libre match, a weekend trip to Tulum, a day trip…
