It Doesn't Get Easier - See You Again

New York City - 2 Years Reunion

Reasons We Decided to Study Abroad - Hong Kong

It's been a long time since we recorded this video. Finally, it's been edited and delivered. Enjoy!
Go abroad every time you can!

Mexico Trip - Monterrey + Mexico City

Although I grew up in Venezuela, I didn't travel to any other South American country until last weekend. Visiting Mexico for the first time was a bit special for me. I learned that people are warm and open as in Venezuela, that services and laws aren't really respected just like in Venezuela, and that Mexicans and Venezuelans share more things in common than not.

Graduation – Thinking Back, Walking Forward

It's been over six months since I took my last college's final exam, but that feeling of walking in the graduation commencement representing Venezuela and having some of my loved ones at AT&T Park in San Francisco during the ceremony was one of the nicest and proudest moment in my life. Proudest because I'm a first generation college graduate, and that means a great deal for me. It means that my family and I are making progress towards our lives, and that life is guiding us in the right path.

Los Angeles Road Trip

What would life be without good friends? Seriously... Making a road trip by yourself is nice, but it's great when you do it with friends. Spending the weekend in LA was something different than what I usually do during weekends, but it's nice because it got me off from my routines in the city.

Snowboarding at Kirkwood

I've always wanted to go snowboarding since I came to San Francisco because I used to watch a lot of extreme sports, especially the X-Games Winter edition with Shaun White winning all the time... And I finally did snowboard yesterday!

The First 100 Days Rule

Have you ever heard about the first 100 days rule for a leader? Did you know that it was first implemented by U.S President Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression? Nowadays, the first 100 days rule is a must for organizations’ top management and executives.

Lands End Trail

Ever since I went to Lands End Trail for the first time some years ago, it has definitely been one of my favorite places in San Francisco. It has basically everything for a relaxing day - a simple hiking trail, friendly people and doggies, and a gorgeous view throughout the entire trail.

Hong Kong – Not The Same, Still Exciting

It's incredible how friends can make a place to be somewhere great and fun or not-so-good. Study abroad and my exchange year in Hong Kong was incredible due to friends, to people that I met and created the great and fun environment that once was around here. Now that I'm here again without most of you around, things have changed. Walking pass CityU Hong Kong isn't the same. Trying to meet friends for food and late night talks isn't the same. Hong Kong isn't the same. Anymore.

My Insight to Art — Reiko Muranaga

I've always been curious when it comes to careers and hobbies. And most of the times curiosity leads to fresh and interesting conversations like the one I had a couple of weeks ago when I had the opportunity to meet Reiko Muranaga, a San Francisco Traditional Oil Painter.

30 Days of Running

San Francisco State – Final Semester

One week of break (not really) and university life has begun, again. As I approach this semester, my last semester at San Francisco State as a college student, I've come to realize how much I've personally grown throughout college and how each one of my goals set years ago have been seen accomplished little by little.

30 Days of Running + Trail Running

As some of you guys might know, I've set up a running challenge to myself of running 30 consecutive days for at least 3 miles every time. It's mainly to keep myself active and create a habit. I've run 13 days out of 30 as of today and it's been difficult during somedays; however,  I believe we shouldn't have excuses to get ourselves out there and do at least 30 minutes of exercises in a daily basis – called it weight lifting, yoga, power walking, TRX, running or something else. In the end, it's all for yourself and your loved ones.

San Francisco Street Food Festival

After five intensive weeks of summer courses, there are few things better than catching up with great people over a nice meal; especially if the street food festival is happening in San Francisco during the weekend.

Accidents Happen, But Don't Run Away From Them

Yesterday night, Wednesday July 23rd, 2014, at 10:20pm in San Francisco I got into a car accident. Yes. It was a car accident, but don't worry, I am just fine. It was a minor accident; one of those that happen daily.

Relaxing at Oyster Farm + BBQing

Last weekend before going back to school for some hardcore work... things cannot be more exciting than driving through California Highway 1 towards Marshall – north. If you know what I'm talking about, you've probably experienced the many curves and narrow roads Highway 1 offers, yet enjoyed the fresh and yummy oysters from Tomales Bay Oyster Company. 

What a nice place to spend some time out of town and relax a bit barbecuing!

Life in San Francisco

Coming back to San Francisco has been awesome. This city has something special that makes me feel good in every sense; although life here feels slower than in Hong Kong, it's still exciting. My dreams' list is quite full and I'll work on them during my stay in San Francisco, and I'm willing to work hard for them.

Hong Kong #27: Study Abroad Finale

We all started this journey studying abroad in Hong Kong knowing for sure that this time will come sooner or later; yes, we all knew there would be an end in this once in a lifetime adventure.

Seoul, South Korea. Day VI*

Last day here in Seoul. Everything has been awesome and cool, especially traveling with Nelson because he's been here before and that helped not getting lost while visiting places. Since today is his flight day and my last day, we decided to chill a little and just walk around places near the hotel in Hyehwa. It's indeed a nice place to stay because the location offers almost all you need, from clothing and cosmetics to restaurants and coffee shops.
