If you’re coming to Puerto Rico for Bad Bunny’s residency this summer... Welcome to my island!

I grew up in Caguas, just south of San Juan, and my family still lives on the island. I’ll be there for the July 27 concert (yes, I already have my outfit picked!), but trust me: there’s way more to this trip than just the show.... [Read more]

There are places in the world that settle into your soul — Tuscany is one of those places for me.
