Travel+Leisure: ‘Roma’ Is More Than Just a Movie — It’s One of Mexico City’s Most Vibrant Neighborhoods

I spent the beginning of 2019 living in Mexico City's Roma and wrote a story & guide to the neighborhood for Travel + Leisure on the weekend before the movie was nominated for 10 Oscars. Gorgeous black and white photos by Stephanie Foden!

Got my first taste of the white stuff this year in Breckinridge, Colorado, and now I’m heading to snow-draped Canada for the next 3-4 months. It’s been a while since I’ve experienced this much winter, but I’m mentally prepared. Breck reminded me of that crisp smell of fresh winter air and there’ll be so much time to read, cook healthy food and to grow. Winter was my favourite season growing up! If you see me trying to convince myself here, you’re probably right. I can’t help but be worried about how short days and less on-foot exploring will impact my psyche. But for now at least, I’m ready 💪 #winteriscoming
