Don't Unsubscribe! Here’s Why I'm Posting Every Day for 90 Days!

After 18 Years Blogging, I'm Going All In for 90 Days

After 18 years of blogging, I'm taking a bold step and committing to posting every day for 90 days.

Consistently posting content.

From the Days of Xanga 2005 to 2024

My first experience with blogging was back in 2005 when I studied abroad in Monterrey, Mexico. My Xanga blog was a way for me to keep my family and friends updated while I was abroad.

A few of us Americans put together a Thanksgiving dinner at our host family’s house in Monterrey, Mexico (2005)

I had no idea what I was doing. I was simply sharing my story and experiences.

But when I returned to America the next semester, I stopped.

Then, I started sharing everything on Facebook and let Xanga go. (I can't even find the site online now!)

It wasn't until 2020 that I decided to create my own blog and website, along with a YouTube channel.

Although my blogging efforts have been inconsistent over the years - because...life be lifin’, amiright? 😩 - my passion and love for writing has always remained. 

Now, in 2024, I'm finally returning to it. I have to prove to myself that I can be consistent and make this a priority.

The journey from the early days of Xanga to the present has been a winding one, but the desire to share my stories and connect with others through the written word has never faded.

I often beat myself up wondering what kind of life - business - I'd have now had I simply been consistent. 

What would've happened had I known that I could transform my writing into something that it could touch lives and build a community?

Instead of allowing the "shoulda-coulda-woulda-what if's" to keep haunting me, I'm choosing to embrace where I am in life and simply, "try again." 

I won’t allow myself to become paralyzed with perfectionism. Trying to make every single article, newsletter, post, podcast or video perfect.

Not this time. There will be no perfection. Just passion.

I've been fortunate enough to travel the world, meet incredible locals, and learn valuable lessons about cultural intelligence.

That is the majority of the content I'll be sharing over the next 90 days.

Could Substack Be The New Chapter in My Writing Career?

I've chosen Substack as my platform for this challenge, and I'm excited to explore the possibilities it offers.

With each newsletter, I hope to connect with you on a deeper level, fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose.

What to Expect

Over the next 90 days, you can expect a variety of content, including hotel and food reviews from establishments around the globe, deep dives into how cultural intelligence truly benefits every area of our lives, and stories about the incredible people, places and things I’ve encountered since becoming a glocal citizen.

What I Ask of You

My simple request is, don’t unsubscribe. 😂

And if you haven’t subscribed yet, I’d love to have you here with me.

Engage with the content, share your thoughts and experiences in the comments, and let this be a dialogue rather than a monologue.

Whether you are an avid traveler or someone who appreciates different cultures from afar, I hope you'll find some value here.

Friend, thank you for reading this warning. 😏

Here’s to the next 90 days… 🥂
