Mexico City: The First Experiment
First solo-travel experiment.
My first solo-travel experiment: different enough to open the door, familiar enough that living somewhere else did not feel impossible.
Mexico City was my first real taste of stepping outside the life I already knew. It still felt culturally familiar enough to be comfortable, but it showed me that a temporary stay could be more than a vacation.
At the beginning, I did not know that this would become permanent. I only knew that the idea of another life no longer felt impossible.
