After ~2 years of remaining mostly stateside (with one surreal barely-mentionable foray into rural Swedish corporate conferences....), I am finally embarking on my first international vacation 100% solo. And what timing! Just in time to flee another very frigid Brooklyn evening en febrero.
My inspiration for my destination? Gabriel Garcia Marquez's familial naming structures; the sweet, fried aroma of fresh arepas; fat folks in the work of Fernando Botero; my AP Spanish Teacher "Profe" and her insane stories about dating a Medellin drug dealer's limo driver; my one and only true rock en espanol amor Juanes; Johnny Depp in blow; my former professor Alma Guillermoprieto's writings on the romance of the FARC and of course....
SHAKIRA. THE ONE AND ONLY. The #original Colombian warrior princess, fools!!!
And with just a few hours to my flight, I declare: "Me voy; que lastima pero adios. Me despido de ti y me voy!"
