Ya es diciembre
Esta vez no fue diferente, esperé hasta el último día para preparar mi maleta. Aunque en realidad no me toma mucho tiempo, me gustaría poder hacerlo con más antelación, digamos, un día o dos antes del viaje. En los últimos años, hemos viajado mucho; ahora que vivimos en Seattle, ir a Vancouver, Canadá, es muy…

Adjusting Focus
After several hours in front of my computer, I shift my attention from the screen to a book on my coffee table. Initially, I thought my blurred vision was just a sign of tiredness. My eyes were watery, making it hard to read the words clearly. I rubbed my eyes to clear them, and when…

Internet outdoors
I’m a big advocate for stepping outside, feeling the grass under your feet, and engaging in some good old face-to-face chats with fellow humans. Heck, I’m even toying with the idea of traveling without my phone—relying on trusty paper maps for navigation and dropping into local libraries to keep in touch with the fam. Crazy,…

Are your choices truly your own?
Do you subscribe to the idea of determinism or free will? These are two intricate philosophical concepts that stand in contrast to one another. I pose this question because these notions have recently taken up residence in my mind. After listening to the discourse surrounding these theories in two distinct podcasts (one in Spanish and…

Relatos de Viaje: Transformando Desafíos en Recuerdos
Absolutely, here is the Spanish translation maintaining the same voice and tone: Actualmente me encuentro en una sala de espera en el aeropuerto LAX, justo en medio de mi viaje a México para ver a mi familia. La primera parte del viaje fue buena; tuve un vuelo agradable. Vi una película llamada “Campeones”. Se trata…
