How to Take Back Control of Your Time with Digital Minimalism

Posted on January 16, 2023August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

In 2021, I made the decision to delete my Facebook account with no warning.  I didn’t deactivate my account, I deleted my account.  I removed the app on my iphone, and that was that.  I was done, cold turkey-style. Did anyone notice my absence?  Only one person reached out to me to ask if I…

Tips to Teach Yourself a New Language in 2023

Posted on January 9, 2023August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

Learning a new language is not easy, but it’s not hard or impossible either.  It’s just like learning any other skill: You have to put in the time and effort on a consistent basis to achieve success. Today’s technological innovations have made it easier than ever to teach yourself a foreign language.  There are a…

A Guide to Setting Goals: SMART Goals vs Winging It

Posted on January 2, 2023August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

It’s that time of year again, folks.  The month of January signals a fresh start, a chance to convince yourself that this is the year in which you’re going to make things happen.  You’ve made one or two New Year’s resolutions (goals), and this time you’re definitely going to stick to them.  But are you…

The Good and Bad: End of Year Financial Check-In

Posted on December 26, 2022August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

By the end of this week, we’ll be saying farewell to 2022 and welcoming 2023.  How I started the year and how I’m ending it couldn’t be more different.  It’s not a question of bad versus good, or vice versa.  This limiting dichotomy doesn’t work in my experience. I undertook a psychological transformation mid-year that…

Looking Back at 2022: A Year Full of Bumps

Posted on December 12, 2022August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

Can time please slow down?  I can’t believe it’s December 12, 2022.  I remember my final six-day trip as a flight attendant (FA) in January as if it happened yesterday.  Time is flying by, and I’m very much like, “Slow down, bitch!  What’s the rush?!” Let’s forget about time for the moment, and let’s focus…

Down the Rabbit Hole of FIRE (Finance Independence, Retire Early)

Posted on November 28, 2022August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

I went from not knowing about the Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) movement to having my world expanded and every financial myth I ever believed destroyed in a matter of three and a half months, and becoming a believer and figuring out my FIRE number.  One podcast grew to two, which then grew to four,…

I’m Back!

Posted on November 14, 2022August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

Where did I go? Why did I stop blogging? Did anyone notice? Let’s start with the easy one. Did anyone notice I stopped blogging? No, no one noticed. I’m not hating. I’m not hating. My bff in Barcelona checked out my website a month or two ago to see if there was anything new but…

What I’ve Read So Far in 2022

Posted on November 14, 2022August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

I’m behind. I’m behind. I feel like the White Rabbit every time I look at how many books I’m behind on my Goodreads’ Reading Challenge. I set an ambitious goal for 2022 because I would like to read one book a week (seems like something to do once in a lifetime, right?). At the very…

So, You Want to Fly? Don’t Be Difficult.

Posted on June 3, 2022August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

AUTHOR’S NOTE I started putting fingers to keyboard a month or two after my Poconos Bike Tour trip. You know the trip I’m talking about. If not, head to the Me section to read all about who inspired me to begin writing. One day, I grabbed my laptop and started typing as quickly as I…

An Ode to Expectations

Posted on May 27, 2022August 7, 2024 by Las Aventuras de V

Neither too high nor too low. From MJ’s, Spider Man’s love interest, “If you expect disappointment, then you can never really be disappointed,” to my Peloton instructor’s, “Las expectativas decepcionan” (expectations disappoint).  The mantra for the 2020s is lower your expectations or throw them out completely. But if las expectativas decepcionan, it’s not because mine,…
