this week in Mexico City hit different (emotional - in a good way)

I came to Mexico City with one thing on my mind: Luis Barragán’s house and studio. Last year, I tried to visit and failed—tickets were sold out two months in advance. So this time, I made sure I was ready. And it felt… different. The wait made it even more special. Walking through his studio house, a UNESCO site (btw), felt like stepping into something timeless. It wasn’t just a building—it was a piece of a bigger story I’ve been carrying for a while. I stayed at Outsite (a coliving/coworking spot for digital nomads) again. It was my second time staying at the same location, which rarely happens for me.

At Molino "El Pujol," the hidden gem of a Michelin-starred restaurant, I had tacos that didn’t taste like any taco I’ve had before. The traditional indigenous flavors were so brilliantly used that I could’ve easily swallowed my tongue. Then, in the heart of La Condesa, I found myself having brunch at an Ashkenazi spot, where a bowl of borscht unexpectedly transported me home. It’s not the kind of place you’d expect to randomly find, but then again, that’s the magic of Mexico City—it truly is the culinary capital of the world. My friend and I checked out Laguna (an art and design community). The visuals I saw online made me so curious, and in person, it was even more intriguing. We planned to cowork there, since that’s what most people go there to do. The art studios and offices set the perfect tone for it, but I was constantly distracted (which I didn’t mind) by everything around me. Incredible businesses, branding, coffee, architecture, and beautiful people all around. At the end of the week, right before leaving for my next destination, I finally got to see my childhood singer, Francisco Céspedes. I’ve been dancing to his music for as long as I can remember, and now, I was hearing him live—in Mexico City, in my favorite country. I got so emotional, I couldn’t hold it together. This week in Mexico City was so much more than I expected. It wasn’t about the city or the places. It was about the feeling of being there—alone, yet somehow more connected to everything than I’ve felt in a long time.
