Gran parte de su trabajo se enfoca en la sostenibilidad y en procesos regenerativos para aumentar la vitalidad econ\u00f3mica en comunidades locales. Recientemente regres\u00f3 de Filipinas, donde colabor\u00f3 con una universidad local para desarrollar un plan de agroturismo a cinco a\u00f1os junto con la Subic-Clark Development Alliance.

\"Steps<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Aqu\u00ed no hay juego de palabras, es un logro brutal darle la vuelta a una isla usando solo tus dos piernas. Y m\u00e1s a\u00fan cuando la isla en cuesti\u00f3n tiene como 353 millas de costa. Paso a paso, durante treinta d\u00edas, de principio a fin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En junio del 2020, eso fue exactamente lo que hice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camin\u00e9 por esta isla del encanto,<\/em> midiendo tanto mis millas como mis bendiciones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era el pico de la pandemia\u2014no hace falta entrar en detalles, si est\u00e1s leyendo esto, lo viviste. Cada lugar en este pedazo de mundo que vuela por la V\u00eda L\u00e1ctea tuvo sus propias luchas, pero para muchos de nosotros, fue algo sin precedentes. Yo tuve la suerte de encontrarle el lado positivo: explorar mi propio patio, caminar de barrio en barrio en nombre del \"ejercicio,\" conocer m\u00e1s vecinos a trav\u00e9s de intercambios inocentes de guineos<\/em> por carambolas, y depender de mi espa\u00f1ol a medias y palabras de agradecimiento mientras las bocas se escond\u00edan detr\u00e1s de las mascarillas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Descubr\u00ed muchas cosas al bajar el ritmo\u2014era la primera vez que lo hac\u00eda. La \u00fanica nena en la familia, siempre tratando de seguirle el paso a los nenes, y esa mentalidad me sigui\u00f3 hasta la adultez. Siempre a las millas. Hasta ahora mismo, todav\u00eda me recuerdo a m\u00ed misma que la vida no se trata solo de producir algo de \"valor\" en las 40 horas reglamentarias, sino de intenci\u00f3n. Y hablando de eso, este a\u00f1o decid\u00ed que mi palabra ser\u00eda \"legado.\" \u00bfQu\u00e9 quiero dejar atr\u00e1s? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

El gusto por la aventura. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Por vivir lo aut\u00e9ntico, sin depender de lo que te cuentan. Tienes que verlo con tus propios ojos. As\u00ed como los exploradores de antes cruzaban monta\u00f1as, r\u00edos, desiertos y oc\u00e9anos, t\u00fa tambi\u00e9n puedes ser un explorador, aunque hoy en d\u00eda todo el mundo sea un influencer\u2014s\u00e9 impredecible. Sal y desc\u00fabrelo por ti mismo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tres millas por hora, uno puede pensar en un mont\u00f3n de cosas. Nada m\u00e1s que el sol boricua (y un par de aguaceros en Humacao) y las aventuras que, hasta el d\u00eda de hoy, todav\u00eda recuerdo cada vez que revisito ciertos lugares. As\u00ed que, desde mi traves\u00eda hasta la que espero sea tuya, mientras alimentas tu curiosidad por esta isla chiquita pero poderosa en medio del Caribe, aqu\u00ed te dejo un pedacito de mis rincones secretos. Lugares que te hacen suspirar y decir: \"\u00a1Boricua de verdad!\" Sin m\u00e1s pre\u00e1mbulos, espero que te encuentres felizmente repitiendo esta frase sobre delicias locales, historias compartidas, conexi\u00f3n humana y aventura por el mero hecho de hacerlo.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Julie<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lamboglia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Suena italiano, \u00bfverdad? O como el nombre de una flor ex\u00f3tica con enredaderas que abrazan columnas y se cuelan entre verjas de alambre. Aqu\u00ed camin\u00e9 por un paso elevado, lo suficientemente alto como para ver el mar entre las palmas reales centenarias que est\u00e1n bordadas para crear una cinta de lazos, salpicando el cielo y brindando sombra a las vacas blancas y negras cuyas marcas se asemejan a esas pruebas de inteligencia de manchas de tinta que determinan si est\u00e1s loco o no\u2014 y cr\u00e9eme, me lo pregunt\u00e9 m\u00e1s de una vez, caminando sola por este tramo de carretera sin saber qu\u00e9 pod\u00eda encontrar m\u00e1s adelante. Pero lo \u00fanico que encontr\u00e9 fue una fila interminable de kioscos vendiendo empanadillas que nunca hab\u00eda probado: cet\u00ed, conejo, yuca, guayaba con queso. Me acuerdo bien de ese d\u00eda. Me com\u00ed una docena sin remordimiento, probando cada puesto desde la autopista 53 hasta la carretera 3. Si pudiera repetir un tramo de mi caminata, me pasar\u00eda el d\u00eda yendo y viniendo por esa calle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Punta Papayo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Con un hotel art deco como punto central, aqu\u00ed uno se siente como si tuviera que hacerse \u201cteasing\u201d en el pelo y hacerse un mo\u00f1o tipo colmena, subirse los mahones hasta el ombligo y poner a H\u00e9ctor Lavoe en loop. Como si los 70 nunca se hubieran ido. Las olas son tranquilas, la cerveza siempre est\u00e1 fr\u00eda, y cada vez que he vuelto, solo hay un par de almas m\u00e1s por ah\u00ed. No me importa si le cuentas a tus panas de este sitio, solo apoya a los vendedores locales y, por favor, \"usa el zafac\u00f3n, cabr\u00f3n.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pi\u00f1ones<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Solo el nombre me da hambre. Aqu\u00ed aprend\u00ed la verdadera raz\u00f3n del chinchorreo: el beber es un ejercicio, y con eso, da hambre. Las alcapurrias son del tama\u00f1o de tu brazo. Los bacala\u00edtos, m\u00e1s grandes que tu cabeza. Y los cuentos, m\u00e1s altos que los pinos que se mezclan con las palmas, meci\u00e9ndose en los mismos vientos alisios que una vez trajeron barcos llenos de esclavos desde \u00c1frica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A solo minutos del bullicio de Isla Verde y Condado, Pi\u00f1ones es un respiro del calor de la ciudad, con el mar a unos pasos de los kioscos y mesas, llam\u00e1ndote a darte un chapuz\u00f3n entre bocados. Sin duda, uno de mis lugares favoritos en la isla. Hecho para caminar, con un paseo tablado que se enreda en los bosquecitos de pinos por m\u00e1s de tres millas. Si las sirenas existen, estoy convencida de que salen del agua aqu\u00ed, cambiando sus aletas por pies solo para probar los sabores de la isla en un domingo de chinchorreo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cata\u00f1o<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pr\u00e1cticamente jerga italiana para \"capit\u00e1n\" (capitano), este rinconcito es un escape del corre y corre del Viejo San Juan. A solo 20 minutos en ferry desde el fuerte, cruzando la bah\u00eda, te recibe un paseo mar\u00edtimo con locales tan amables que m\u00e1s de una vez me preguntaron de d\u00f3nde era, lo que siempre se convert\u00eda en una conversaci\u00f3n sobre el barrio. Fue aqu\u00ed donde aprend\u00ed m\u00e1s sobre Pedro Albizu Campos y sent\u00ed sus palabras hasta en los huesos: \"La patria es valor y sacrificio.\" Fue uno de los momentos m\u00e1s especiales de mi caminata. Y como regla de oro, cualquier fila donde haya gente tom\u00e1ndose un caf\u00e9 con leche y cantando Willie Col\u00f3n, es una buena fila para unirse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Luquillo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

La \"Q\" siempre es la \"clave\" aqu\u00ed, tanto en pronunciaci\u00f3n como en esa botella m\u00e1gica que literalmente lleva un \"Don\" en su t\u00edtulo. De alguna manera, siempre encuentra su camino en cada parranda en Navidad y, seamos honestos, no es coquito sin T\u00edo Q. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me gusta pensar que este lugar es lo m\u00e1s cercano a los pueblos playeros dormilones de los 80. Aqu\u00ed el surfing es subestimado, sin mucha gente y escondido entre carreteras secundarias. La Selva es uno de mis \"breaks\" favoritos. Una derecha perfecta. Aquella ma\u00f1ana tuve suerte, estaba en el agua antes de que el viento entrara. Quiz\u00e1s por eso no hay tanta gente. No importa, uno puede dar la vuelta a la isla en un d\u00eda, pero Luquillo es una parada obligatoria. Llega de noche a los kioskos, m\u00e9zclate con los locales, y si invitas una ronda, puede que te revelen otro spot secreto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
