between worlds: searching for home while growing up in puerto rico & the continental u.s.

“My mother sobbed when she dropped me off at George Washington University, but I was elated and already imagining my new life. For the next couple of years I’d watch her cry as we said our goodbyes at airports, in cars. Her firstborn, her strange gringa baby. The one who never really shared her same sense of home.”

finding hidden treasures on the mother road

“Despite our steady cruise down the road, the Airstream trailing behind as a constant reminder to rest and enjoy the slower living, the trip went by in what felt like the blink of an eye. If we had endless time on the road we could have easily spent months just seeking out and listening to stories as we traveled across the Route’s final stretch in California. Every person, every building, and every place has something to tell you if you’re willing to spend some time with them.”
