Going to Bunenos Aires next! Looking forward to connecting with the queer community and exploring bookstores, architecture, surrounding nature and Gaucho culture.

Current City

Made a more permanent home this time around. Rented a house near Cerro de la Cruz, got fresh food at the market every week, integrated with the locals as I was dating an Antigueno the duration of my time. Truly felt at home and now have lots of local and insider information. Took several day trips to Guatemala City, Lago Atitlan (must go see Maximon if you go!), Hobbitenango, Monterrico and Tikal and Flores.

The city of 4 levels from hilltops to underground the roads that wind around in and between buildings and mountains are magical. The city feels colonial and this was probably my favorite city ever to get lost in. There is something unexpected behind every turn. How the mailman gets to some of the houses still perplexes me. Took some day trips to Dolores Hidalgo and San Miguel de Allende. This region is very historically important to Mexico and definitely worth a trip for history buffs.

Beautiful city, I studied abroad here back in 2013 at UT Austin´s Casa Herrera learning Maya archeology and Spanish Colonial history. Went to Monterrico a black sand beach on the Pacific coast as well several fincas and coffee farms in the surrounding valley.

Chiapas is very special, the earth feels ancient, the traditions are very present and food and town always had something surprising to share. Took some day trips to San Juan Chamula, Canon del Sumidero, El Arcotete.

Stunning place! Stayed at S Cafecito which feels like the heart of the city. Truly a magical silver mining down nestled in the mountains of Guerrero. Did a ceremony there that I will never forget.

Stayed in Puebla City center and Cholula. Absolutely beautiful, great architecture, food, close CDMX. Took some day trips to Atlixco, Val Qúirico and a crater lake on the border in Veracruz and Puebla.

Stayed in city center, a beautiful harbor with seals that swim up, cool European architecture, and nature that is very pristine.

Pike Place market was cool, underground ghost tour as well.

Monmatre, Catacombs, Pere Lachaise, Versailles, Fontainbleu. Loved it all except the food, all we ate was hard bread and meat and cheese it felt like. Maybe you have to spend a lot of money to eat well?

Anne Frank house was excellent, Red Light District, historic city center, all very cool!

My favorite place on this European trip. Old city square is magical, feels like old world.
