From the outside looking in, you’d think my life in Barranquilla is all rainbows and butterflies. The real magic is the fact that I’m living and working just like everyone else.

Food Series Take One
Here in Barranquilla, I’ve had more time to dedicate to things I’ve always wanted to do. So I asked myself: “What are things you’ve always wanted to do, to know more about, to learn, and to develop as a habit?” Cooking is one of those things (among many, many others).

Loneliness is about learning to be alone with yourself. It’s an art, really. Discovering what makes you happy when you’re by yourself is beautiful. I needed to be reminded of this after being in Barranquilla for a few days. There are few, simple things that I need: Yoga, music and cooking.
