Time Management

So, I'm officially 25 and I'm told I should be hitting a quarter life crisis anytime now. It hasn't hit yet (more than the usual worrying), but I figured I'd take some time to think about some questions spurred by the stress I've seen in my friends. I don't have any answers, but I thought I'd just lay them out there.

1. Do I need to decide now what I want to do with my life?
2. Do I need to be married with kids in the next 5 years? If so, do I need to start now?
3. Should I be unhappy in my job? Should I be making enough money to save up now?
4. Should I want to go back to grad school immediately? Do I need to know exactly what I want to get out of it, before I go?
5. Are these the best times of my life?

I don't particularly feel like I need to stress about any of the above, since all of my friends here are older and are doing just fine (as much worrying at I am, but fine). Give me a little time, though, and we'll see.

For now, here's my immediate future (travel schedule, at least). Everyone is welcome to visit, but if you're coming, book soon:
March 8-15, Buenos Aires, Argentina
March 22-April 10, Philippines (and Thailand)
April 9-16, ? Semana Santa/Holy Week
April 17-20, Sao Paolo, Brazil
April/May?, Monterrey, Mexico
May ?, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
May 25-30, DC
June ?, Monterrey, Mexico
July 11-15, Monterrey, Mexico

Check out my girl Michelle on Allure's total makeover. She's keeping a weekly diary, so you can follow along. My diet and workout schedule's much farther behind....

Check out these Aerial views of Mexico City and surroundings.

Vacationing in Mexico

I've been a bit out of commission the last week, but don't worry, it was for a good cause. Here are some highlights from my week off (yup, that's right, a week off work without any out of country travel). Deepak (my first visitor!) arrived Saturday midday and we alternated taking it easy and sight seeing. Here's your chance to see Mexico City and Guanajuato through our eyes:

2-11 Rest and Munich
2-12 Zócalo and Centro Historico including murals at the Palacio Nacional and Bellas Artes



2-13 Everything's closed mondays, so we took the Turibus around through Polanco, Condesa, Zona Rosa, and Centro Historico with some stops here and there.



2-14 A taste of the famous Museo de Anthropologia. An excellent stop on the tour of Mexico.





2-15 Trek to Guanajuato

2-16 Exploring the historic mining town of Guanajuato, Guanajuato. A view at night, modern elements of a colonial town, and callejon de beso, a local landmark.

2-17 back to Mexico city just in time to explore a local cantina (kinda). Can't beat the 2 x 1 special on drinks!

2-18 A worthy birthday spent exploring the markets and plazas of Coyoacan. At night, a little birthday get-together with food for the week.

2-19 Cleaned up house, wandered the chaos of the Bosque de Chapultepec on a sunday, lunched and then a sad farewell. Until next time....

Back to the DF

Another week of travel for work. Paula, Olivia and I were in Monterrey Monday and Tuesday, Mexico city Wednesday, then Oaxaca Wednesday night through Friday. It's good to be back!

Highlights of this trip:
- 1st successful partner training
- strong interest in official partnerships ASAP (good and bad, i guess)
- 2 likely candidates to work with me
- ate Chapulines (grasshoppers) which means I can come back to Oaxaca
- team bonding with Paula and Olivia
