June in Playa

I’ve been so shitty at writing daily the past few months and I don’t feel great about it. I think I’ll make it my half year resolution to make more time for it and start writing first thing in the morning.

For now, I’m set-up in Playa del Carmen for the month of June with Sophia and my friend Alyssa from high school. It was a crazy decision that we thought was too good to pass up. We’ve got a gorgeous condo with a rooftop pool, deck, bar and 3 bedrooms. My rent isn’t that far off than my San Francisco rent and cost of living is significantly lower.

The food has been fantastic so far. I’ve eaten tacos and seafood pretty much for every meal over the last 5 days or so. A ceviche lunch sits really well within my diet. Delicious protein with no carbs. We’ll see how I feel about the food in a week or two. I’m already starting to crave Asian food and variety.

Work has been pretty good. I’ve got a good set-up on the top floor and alternate between the deck and the air conditioned kitchenette. I haven’t had too many hiccups getting work done despite being in paradise.

I’ve joked that I don’t think I’ll ever want to leave here and I just want to work remotely from here forever. Of course, I’d imagine that by the end of the month I’ll be itching to get back to SF or NY, but we’ll see.
