Harry Potter and the Chaos of the Phoenix

Today I was at Juan Valdez with my girlfriend and we played this game with the 36 questions. It's still very unfamiliar to say 'my girlfriend'. We only met 3 weeks ago, but have...

Hi. I know I've been very inconsistent when it comes to the blog lately. Diary is usually my priority and even then I often can't keep up. There's just a lot going on and...

My home is burning. I don't think I have ever experienced the consequences of the climate crisis so closely and clearly. My city smells like burnt toast. When you take a step...

You know, there's one thing that's really hard for me to understand. Okay, lots of them. For example, algebra. Or how t-shirts are made from plants. The 1st picture shows a...

Friends and friends (as Mr. Chancellor would say). Sorry for my absence. I'm currently in Calima, a small village 2 hours away from Cali, where my family has rented a finca. The...

There is so much I wanted to do for her. There are million unfinished documents on my laptop. Things I was going to write about her, for her. She was the most beautiful...

I saw pictures and videos of myself as children this morning. That was the first time I heard myself talk as a child. I was so small and innocent and at the same time I think...

My life just did a 180 last week. I blinked once and suddenly I was no longer a student but working in an office. And then my best friends flew away and left me 2 happy...

I'm writing right now because I feel like I should. That's exactly what I wanted to avoid. But maybe I force myself to do it because I know it's good for me. Just start writing,...

In Colombia most universities are private. You can compare the system with that of the USA. The better the university, the more you have to pay. What does that mean? Only the...

When my lecturer said goodbye to us on Tuesday and I realized that it was the last class, I almost started to cry. It was about comparing different peace processes around the...

Question: How are you supposed to get into the Christmas spirit when it's constantly 20 degrees here? There is no winter here because there are no seasons at all and don't get...

You forget people quicker than you think. It sounds sad, it's sad, but after a few weeks or months, you start to think less and less about people who played a huge role at home....

Sorry for my absence. I know my roommate is eagerly waiting for my words #onlylove. On Friday I was partying, on Saturday I was hungover, on Sunday I was lazy and yesterday I...

Yesterday was Halloween. We met in disguise in the evening and walked along Séptima, which is one of the most important and longest streets here in Bogotá. We walked almost 10...

Thursday. I got up at 9 a.m. because I always have Teorías del Estado from 9-12 and being 30 minutes late is mandatory. I was so sore because we had a soccer game on Wednesday...

I want it to stay like this forever. I don't think I've been this happy in 5 years. Life here feels somehow easy. Like a giant cloud of cinnamon rolls. Living here feels so...

Do you remember when you were in first grade and the fourth graders seemed so incredibly old and grown up? And you thought they had the perfect life? You really wanted to be...

Today I locked myself out for the second time in 2 weeks. What's wrong with me. The first time was Wednesday 2 weeks ago. It was the last day of a 3-day climate conference and...

Well, now the fun is over. Okay, it never ends being funny. But today I would like to philosophize about a serious topic. And I would like you to put on the song "Tha Bullshit"...

I want to write about things that I noticed here in Colombia. Or that I have learned so far. 1. People here walk so INCREDIBLY SLOW. I always run from A to B and I think I move...

My love, I'm sick, so I drank at least 3 liters of ginger tea today. Yesterday someone gave me the idea of starting a blog. Not a bad idea actually, I thought to myself. I...
