Tales from Two Cities and A Town

For the past five years, my life has existed in three places – New York City, Buenos Aires and the small town of Washington, CT where I grew up. My husband Lucas is Argentinian with two young sons that live half of the time with their mom in Buenos Aires. I live most of the time in Manhattan, but I often hop up to CT to check in my parents, as I’m their only child. My dad recently passed away, so now it feels even more important to check in on my mom. Lucas and I go back and forth between countries, doing our best to never be apart for more that six weeks at a time. It’s admittedly a crazy way to live our life. Yet somehow, we make it work. It’s lucky, it’s wonderful, it’s hard and sometimes disorienting. This new blog is an experiment to try to capture some of the things I’ve learned while living in all three places at the same time.
