I can’t get enough of the [...]

I’m nearly a full fledged fellow, simply waiting a few more intense sessions and a final knighting. Once all that formality is over, it will be a whirlwind two months while I sell everything I own, say goodbye to friends, family and co-workers, stuff myself full of vaccinations and purchase the ticket to begin my [...]

There are two themes to this: First, I´m coming home. And second, there are a lot of people who want to come with me!
I travel quite a lot, but it’s been a while since I’ve stayed in a foreign country for an extended period of time. All of a sudden, I’ve come to feel [...]

Some of you out there may be wondering what a typical day is like “in the field.” Yesterday was one of those days. I spent the morning driving around with Mario Cruz, one of Prisma´s loan officers.
