Call You When I Land: A Travel Memoir
My family has always been one for superstition.
We throw salt over our left shoulder. We “knock on wood” to stave off tragedy. We wear yellow underwear on December 31st to secure good luck in the coming year. We sit down before leaving the house on a trip, to ensure safe travels. And we always text each other before takeoff, with the simple promise of "I’ll call you when I land." This phrase holds Read more of this blog post »

“I’ll face it all—the vitriol and the disappointment, the confusion and the pain, the sadness and the loss—because I finally know that my life is worth fighting for, and that the woman I can become is waiting for me if only I’m strong enough to change course and reach for her.”

“Eres un pájaro libre,” she says, as though she’s finally figured out this stranger on the beach. You are a free bird.
I find myself reveling in this girl’s four words, seeing myself through her eyes: a traveler sitting on the black-gray sand alone, hailing from a city often synonymous with wayward dreamers. I relish the words, trying my best to remember them and internalize them. Not because I feel I am a free bird but because, at this moment, I know I can become one.”

“My toughened soles would act as a protective shell for my feet, allowing me to run carefree. Working at this restaurant has become like that driveway. Every shift, every shitty customer, every dropped tray, every lonely 2:00 a.m. walk after closing time seems to callus and toughen me up against New York.”

“For months I had been fighting off these very words, even going so far as to board a plane to South America to outrun them. Yet they have followed me here. Trailing me all the way to the edges of Argentina and Brazil like a Pinkerton detective hot on a case. When I first speak them aloud, I stop walking, listening only to the soundtrack of the Iguazú jungle: the chitter of those birds, the “ooh-ahhs” of those little capuchin monkeys, the pulse of those majestic waterfalls reverberating through the trees. An undeniable gauntlet has just been thrown down. I know before I fully understand it that my life will forever be changed from this moment on.”
