Welcome to my office Sometimes I feel like my work space is merely symbolic of work, because truth be told I’m not always working while in it (darn facebook). And when I feel like I’m working the most it’s actually when I’m off wandering the streets (or sidewalks in my case). But today I felt…

My apologies Rosie the Riveter
Food: fun to make, fun to eat 15 year-old me would never believe it was I who wrote this post. Like quite a few little girls I grew up somewhat of a tomboy and eventually that turned into a feminist chip on my shoulder. I am not sure where I picked the attitude up, maybe…
Adventure vs. Normalcy
For those who know me well, I think we’ll all agree that I never fit too well into an example of a “normal” life. But as with most people, I like a change of pace from time to time. So here in Peru I enjoy going into Lima to spend the weekend with friends. My…
Better than mirrors
So I’ve successfully moved into my new apartment, I’m sure I’ve mentioned that already. It’s not that big, and it’s completely empty, but it’s mine! I’ll fill it up slowly but of course I have a list of “must have asap.” My first investments will be hangers, an oven/stove, mixing bowls, a casserole dish, maybe…
My way (If the boss allows)
Today I’m tired. No sugarcoating that one. I think I slept about an hour last night and I’m exhausted. No excuses, but my eyes are not staying open very well. I had a busy morning, but this afternoon requires mostly quality one-on-one time with my computer. So… I may have just woken up with a…
Positive survival
I’ve been fighting a cold the last week, and as many of you know, there is very little worse than being sick when you live alone, a continent away from your mommy and daddy. First, there’s no one to say “oh no! You’re sick?” when you start moan oh so subtly in an attempt to…
Inspired
So for the past few days, or maybe weeks (ok, weeks), I’ve had occasional mini-panic attacks about my job. I’m in way over my head and recently I’ve been wondering why in the world I didn’t just take a simple internship where I could watch people work while getting them coffee. I mean, what kind of person…
When talking is a job
Sometimes I simply love what I do. Granted, not always, because there is not as fun strategic planning, organizing, stepping way out of my comfort zone, battling for respect and overcoming painful moments of complete lack of motivation. But there are times when I’m luck enough to DO what I actually do as a public…
¡Feliz Fiestas Patrias!
Happy Patriot Celebrations! Ok, it doesn’t sound as good in English. We’re celebrating independence day here in Peru and boy are they patriotic. It’s such a special experience to celebrate with a people what makes them “them”. And you know how am I, I like to throw myself into things 110%… so here I am,…
