Summer Update

It me. 

It's the middle of summer. I haven't blogged for myself in ages. 

Time for an update.

Work
Still copywriting and editing a ton. My current client load includes e-Procurement, fintech for the mortgage industry, a CCM/DXP integration specialist, the same ECM developer in Thailand I've had for 2 years, and travel/food content for a regional intergovernmental org.

To make extra $$$ over the summer, I picked up blog work for a language learning app from Germany and an F&B branding firm from New York. I can fit one more client into my summer schedule, so if you need anything check my LinkedIn and drop me a line. Tech, F&B, and NGO content are all fair game.

Volunteering
Still volunteering with Democrats Abroad. I'm hosting podcasts for the Hispanic Caucus (listen here) and getting the word out to fellow expats about how easy it is to Vote From Abroad. The news from the U.S. is a daily onslaught of political and humanitarian chaos, but voting is what? Fundamental.

Social Media
My friend Ana and I are having success with our Prague restaurant reviews. Some of the big names in the local food scene are interacting with us & we love any reason to eat out more often. Learn about Czech food + more on Twitter @LasSaboritas.

Grad School
It's a 2-year program so I'm halfway done. Looking forward to my thesis on MFI fintech adoption. If you know anybody else working on tech in microfinance, please pass along their info. I will make a real effort to connect with program people, especially in Latin America, later this year.


Those are my life updates. It's been 13 years since I was last on summer break and it's exhilarating. Despite a heavy workload, it feels like sunshine + holidays for me until October.

How about you? What are you working on this summer?
