Berlin was incredible. My heart is so full. It’s such a gift to be able to visit my @uwcusa classmates. Luisa and I went clubbing, ate lots of food, talked history, and war, and politics and caught up on all the drama happening in my life. We became obsessed with Rhythm and Flow and started scheming a summer vacation to Portugal. I got to see her life in Berlin and her amazing group of friends. Luisa I’m so happy to see you flourishing! Robin cooked me dinner and filled me with wine and funny stories ha ha. The last time we saw each other he was visiting my family in Florida right after graduation. 9 years later I finally made it to his home country! We talked law, and software, and marriage, and babies, our badass grandmas, our startup ideas, and my mom’s cooking. I got to see Naqeeb briefly on my last night. We had a special bond at UWC and a bunch of inside jokes from being stuck on the same project week trip together with @mishelmussali. Also hadn’t seen him in 9 years. Naqeeb, I hope you actually come visit me amigi!!! Got to see Mia and Pablo at an Anti-War cafe with signs saying things like “free Assange” and “Hands off Venezuela”. Pablo performed a whole set amazingly of course including African Queen, my favorite, and a song inspired by the migrant caravans traveling through Central America. We talked life in Germany as a Guatemalan, working with Germans, and running into @danigoral on a beach in Tel Aviv. Only recently have I developed the stability and income to actually travel and see my friends and classmates who live all over the world. These experiences have become one of the most fulfilling parts of my life. You guys are so special to me. I don’t know who I would be without you. I love you. All of you. Come visit me in Atlanta. I’ve got guest bedrooms, a sweet puppy, and WiFi. #uwc #germany #berlin #friends #family #love

#berlin is treating me well

When you get to have so many of your favorite people in one place. . . #uwc #reunion

Happy Father’s Day to my Dad and all the fathers out there. My dad has been there for every tantrum, every accomplishment, every disappointment, and every transformation. We’ve had our fair share of disagreements and even blowout arguments, but we always overcome and grow our relationship to another level. Much of my success in this life is rooted in him pushing me to always give 100%. He taught me perseverance and how to push through/give my everything even when it’s painful and I just want to give up. He always has the highest expectations of me in everything I do, and it’s amazing to have a dad who believes in me that much. . . at times more than I was able to believe in myself! Thanks for being hilarious, sweet, and one of the most beautiful souls I know. #happyfathersday
