livingundercovers asked: hey I saw your post about Mana and Reik , two of my favorite latin bands , how did you like the show ? I'm seeing Mana when they come to Arizona . You're studying abroad , thats really cool , its weird , just recently I met this guy at an airport who was attending UNAM and ever since I thought that it seems like such a great idea and career path to take . Hope all is well , I like your blog :)

Hi, thanks for your message! Both shows were superb; I saw them here in Houston. Maná has one of the longest concerts I’ve ever been to, and Reik always performs in really intimate venues.

I studied abroad in 2007, which is where a lot of the pictures on my blog come from, but right now I’m actually preparing to live and work abroad as an elementary teacher in El Salvador for two years. Having the opportunity to be abroad for extended periods of time has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

I’m pumped and can’t wait to share my shenanigans. :) I hope you enjoy Maná in Arizona!

I must say, I took myself on a pretty fabulous date tonight: Reik concert followed by barbacoa at Taqueria Ruby… Self, we should do this more often.
