Cornershop: The Time-Saving App That Brings Groceries to Your door in Mexico in only 60 min!

As someone who lives the digital nomad lifestyle, I’m all about efficiency when it comes to how I spend my time and I am always on the lookout for ways in which I can maximize these hours in my day. As anyone who is living the kind of lifestyle will tell you, time is money and if you don’t work, you don’t earn, it is as simple as that. With this in mind, I have made efforts to minimize the time spent on the minutiae of life (and ones I especially don’t enjoy) and instead focus my efforts on working…

Riding Across America on a Hog for a Cause!

A Q&A WITH ADAM SANDOVAL of ScootinAmerica Harley-Davidson believes strongly that every American should be able to experience the unparalleled freedom of motorcycle riding, especially those who risk their lives to protect our freedom in the states and abroad. To show its appreciation and support for military personnel all over the country, Harley-Davidson has partnered with ScootinAmerica Founder Adam Sandoval and the Wounded Warrior Project on MISSION: “THANK YOU.” Adam is traveling cross country for the next few months to give away new motorcycles to eight lucky veterans and I got the chance to ask him about his epic ride. Q:…

I Got Featured in Philadelphia Magazine! Check it out:

So for those of you who don’t know, I’m actually from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the US. It’s one of the bigger cities in the country and only a couple hours south of New York if you’ve never heard of it. This past month, I had the opportunity and honor to get interviewed by Philadelphia Magazine for a piece they were doing about digital nomadism. My friend Jason and I had a bit of our stories told from how we went from a couple of kids from Philly to living wherever we want and financial freedom. Check out the article here!

The Most Endangered Animals on Earth

From climate change to Pacific garbage patch, there is a myriad of problems which threaten our continued existence on Earth. However, framing issues this way is rather shortsighted, as it leaves out a key fact – we aren’t the only beings who call this place home. Many species have been killed off by choices we have made over the ages. Remember the Dodo? Found on Mauritius, it was a flightless bird which had no predators until we arrived on the scene. From 1598, it took less than 100 years for them to be completely wiped out. Turns out a bird…

Best Neighborhoods in Mexico City – San Angel!

Like Coyoacán, the San Angel (or Ángel in Spanish) neighborhood was an independent and mostly rural village until the mid-20th century, and even today you could easily imagine that you are in a colonial town far from the bustle of Mexico City as you stroll down the cobblestone streets that wind between centuries-old monasteries and grand homes. In fact, both Mexico City and the national government have issued declarations to preserve the unique heritage of San Ángel. In 1987 the president of Mexico declared the area to be a “Historical Monument Zone;” later, in 2008, it was designated as part…

Best Neighborhoods in Mexico City – Centro Historico!

The historic center of Mexico City, Centro Historico, or just “Centro,” is an area of Mexico City that must be seen to be believed. There is a reason it was the New York Times #1 place to visit in the entire world in 2016. In some ways and in some parts, it has the feel of Europe’s famous capital cities and you could easily imagine that you are in the historic sections of Paris or London as you enjoy a coffee in front of 16th century buildings on a quaint, tucked-away street. But at the same time, there is no…

Best Neighborhoods in Mexico City – Coyoacán!

Like the other Mexico City neighborhoods I’ve profiled like Roma Norte, Condesa, Polanco and Juarez, Villa Coyoacán (often referred to as the historic center) has a definite personality which makes it stand apart from the rest. In this case, the vibe is similar to that of Colonia Roma Norte in terms of its quirky and intellectual tendencies blended with the independent character that comes from the area’s history as a village separate from the larger city that now surrounds it. Coyoacán dates back to the early 16th century when it was established as the first capital of New Spain, and…
