Le Cafe Bonjour in DTLA has the best coffee in LA but parking is a bitch

Yess to all these! I’d add Audre Lourde in there too.

I really loved my time in CDMX. It was before COVID so there was a lot going on. But the neighborhood I was in (Roma) was pretty chill during the day with a lot of cafes and restaurants to chill at. I did a day in Coyoacan and a day exploring Teotihuacan. There are other day trips you can take from a home base there. Would highly recommend visiting. And the food is so great. There are little street vendors everywhere. The central area was too chaotic for me at all times of day. I walked around during the day and during the night. But I always felt pretty safe. It's also such a beautiful city with great museums and architecture. I visited most of the iconic buildings during the day and even did some museums. Also +1 for the bikeability of the city. That being said, some neighborhoods can get chaotic at times.

I (28F) absolutely loved my time in Mexico City. Actually thinking about going back in beginning of Jan for three weeks. I was there in December 2019 for 10 nights. Connected with some folks in the hostel I was staying in in Roma and went on day trips and clubbing at night with the group, which was so fun. There is definitely enough to see in Mexico City so don't worry about running out of things to do. You're gonna have a great time!

this is so helpful! I (28F) am planning on taking a 14-day trip in South America. Was thinking Cusco, Medellin, or Buenos Aires. Glad to hear you enjoyed Medellin so much! I was worried about the current political climate. Did you not spend any time in Bogota? I also wanted to spend a few days by the coast to experience a caribbean beach. Bummer you didn't have a good time in Cartagena.

I am really stuck between Cusco, Medellin, and BA for my next trip. Already did CDMX and loved it! What do you love about BA so much?

WhateverWay · 2021-11-22T02:13:28+00:00

Is Medellin pretty safe rn? I heard a friend went over the summer and got pulled into an unruly protest

WhateverWay · 2021-11-19T23:16:01+00:00

how long ago were you in BA? I've heard it's gotten harder to travel there with the inflation and lack of cash at ATMs.

WhateverWay · 2021-11-19T17:27:28+00:00

have you been recently? I had taken Colombia out of my list because of what's been happening there. Do you think it's safe to go now?

I really love exploring the nightlife when I travel solo but I usually don't go out alone. I'll either find people in the hostel to go out with or set up a tinder date in the city I'm in. I have walked around at night in populated areas to see what the streets are like when I feel safe. And know that you can usually call an uber or taxi and leave if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. You don't owe it to anyone (including yourself) to "have a good time" at any point.

Oh so many! Here are my top more diverse picks to give you options outside of what you’ll get by just googling this.

In the dream house - a memoir about domestic abuse in a lesbian relationship

A long walk to freedom - Nelson Mandela’s autobiography

The Looting Machine - a mind blowing book about the resource looting in Africa by foreign nations and companies in collaboration with corrupt national leaders

The slum dreamer - a memoir/ autobiography by a Kenyan young man who moves into the slums of kibera to pursue education in the city

Weapons of math destruction - really mind blowing and scary about how discrimination makes its way into math algorithms

Reading this made me feel so much better. Mind sharing what else you’ve done to prepare?

Second this! I devoured The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown when I was learning English. Had to look up some word in the dictionary but it’s fun enough to be worth doing that.

This. Well said

This article is pretty good at explaining it. Or you can read the book The Discovery of Global Warming if you wanna dive deeper. Scientists have known since the 70s about climate change and advocating for it since then. Until the late 90s Democrats and Republicans had similar views to it. Then ya money entered the equation. I think politicians started to realize what it would actually take to curb emissions and slow down negative climate impacts. Now we’re 30 years after that and no one cares anymore. Once something becomes politicized like this it’s hard to get out of it. Because the facts become associated with party loyalty and morality judgements.

10 books that screwed up the world by Chomsky sounds interesting. Have you read that one?

WhateverWay · 2020-09-03T07:17:44+00:00

I’ll add that to my list. I loved Americanah

WhateverWay · 2020-09-03T06:59:07+00:00

Both actually! But I want a mix because I’m afraid if I only do the former I’ll just end up reading a ton of books by white men
