Hi everyone, Today I woke up and got really absorbed by the internet. I don’t have an early meeting for once and enjoyed sitting at the kitchen table with coffee and oatmeal, reading articles one by one and sharing them friends. Since I can’t do this all day, I decided to share some here (even though this is not a real job). If you’re looking … Continue reading Reading the Internet, November 5
Forgive the delays but time is speeding by at a rather uncomfortable rate. I have 15 days left in México and am no longer the new girl. My house has new people, there are new interns and employees at Ashoka and I’ll be leaving before I know it. HOW? HOW? HOW? I just keep picturing my life in a year where I won’t have the … Continue reading Expats, Green Juice, Fútbol and Work
Sorry to be super behind on this one but here are some links to spice up your monday and tuesday office time. A lot of them are videos this week, which is a surprising change of pace. Alton Brown and William Shatner hang out and taste wine. Great article about being white in Mexico City and lots more. I haven’t eaten at Sanborns but I … Continue reading Reading the Internet, Week 4
I’ve been in Mexico for over a month and I (as always) am surprised at how quickly the time passed. I’m also leaving in a month exactly so this a halfway point and a time of transition. To recap, things have been going very well, especially at work. My job in communications allows me to attend tons of cool events as I’ve mentioned before, which … Continue reading The One Month Mark
Actual post about my week to follow but here’s some internet for now: 15 lessons learned from cooking at the french laundry. I love reading about industry kitchens and mentorship. If you’ve ever smiled at the name of an Essie polish, you should read about the company’s founder who still comes up with most of the names. Millennial helps museums join instagram/increase engagement with youth, … Continue reading Reading the internet, week 3
In no particular order, some noteworthy events: Went to a spin class and really enjoyed it. The timing isn’t the best with my work schedule but I hope to go again on monday. (I have a work event tomorrow night and they don’t have them on fridays). Met my dad’s friend from middle and high school who lives with her family in Mexico City. This … Continue reading In the last ten days…
Hello dear readers, I’m here to tell you about one of the most “mexican” experiences I’ve had to date. It didn’t involve guacamole (which is really not much of a thing here) but it did involve canals, tequila, mariachi bands, and my housemates. I spent Saturday cruising around the canals of Xochimilco in a trajinera, a covered boat that doubles as a floating party for … Continue reading I’m on a boat: Las trajineras de Xochimilco
For those of you who don’t know me, I read a lot of articles on the internet. I don’t like watching videos and I don’t follow many/any tv shows (except I’m definitely going to watch Orange is the New Black) but I cannot resist a good article. I read really long articles on my phone, usually because I don’t realize how long they are and … Continue reading Reading the Internet, Week 1
Apologies for the lack of posts this week but I was pretty busy (yay!). Tuesday was a fairly ordinary day at work and then a weird aerobics classed called Body Attack that was not that revolutionary. I still need to try the tumbling one. It was, like most latin american 1 hour commitments, roughly 42 minutes. That night, we had a house dinner which was … Continue reading Week Two: When things start to get busy
Last thursday, I headed home after work and I was tired. I bailed out of going to the gym (boo for blog accountability but I went yesterday) and was sitting in my room feeling very exhausted. I was listening to a podcast when I heard a knock at my door. One of my roommates asked, “Would you like some wine?” Obviously, this piqued my interest … Continue reading A not long (but fun) weekend in Mexico City
