👋 WELCOME BACK TO #TECLA-CORE!

What you'll find: Getting to know Ale Suarez, Ruth's top picks, book recommendations, lots of reunions, upcoming birthdays, and more!

🧡 Personal Milestones.

🇨🇴 Ale has taken a significant and exciting step by moving in with her boyfriend. In these pictures, she is accompanied by her sisters, boyfriend, and their newly moved-in cat in their new place!

🇵🇪 Meet-Up in Peru! They went to a cool local cafe in Lima and then for some drinks in Miraflores!

🇦🇷 Valen, Steph, and Euge had the opportunity to meet in person in Argentina!

🇵🇪 Majo, Steph and Meli in Paracas! "We toured the Ballestas Islands on a yacht, tubular in the Paracas desert, and spent the whole weekend in a beautiful beach house that we rented!" - Meli.

🇪🇸 Abby and Gino went to Madrid and met María Laura! "We had lunch, and we walked - a lot - I think that day the three of us completed the 10k step goal. We also had churros con chocolate at San Ginés and had a stroll around El Retiro Park *where the photo was taken." - Maria Laura.

🇵🇪 Meli traveled to Peru with her mom and dad! 💗

🇦🇷 Steph traveled to Argentina, toured Buenos Aires, experienced Lollapalooza, and visited Mendoza.

🇻🇪 Vero Alvite traveled to Tinikijima during the break, "to reach it, one must climb a mountain, and upon reaching the top, there is a small gate that opens to the beach, a truly magical place."

🇺🇸 Euge traveled to New York with her cousin!

💡 INSPIRATION: A Spanish podcast called "Entiende tu Mente." Suppose you don't want to listen to something related to psychology. In that case, you can listen to Case 63, a Chilean science fiction podcast. It has 2 versions, English and Spanish, I heard both, and I liked them equally!

📽️ WATCH: I recently watched "The Last of Us" and currently watching season 3 of "The Mandalorian." While I am not a big fan of the Star Wars saga, this series has caught my attention.

⛰️ VISIT: If you ever visit Chile 🇨🇱, Puerto Varas is a must-see destination. It's a charming small town located in the country's southern region, with a part of it surrounded by a lake. You can admire three volcanoes from the lake, one of which is only a two-hour drive away. The sunsets in Puerto Varas are breathtaking.

🇦🇷 TECLA's First Meet-Up in Argentina

Last month we had our first meet-up with Latam Remoters in Argentina 🇦🇷, with Euge and Steph running the show. And it was a blast! Meeting everyone in person was an excellent experience, and getting to know them all better was great. The best part was how diverse everyone's professional backgrounds were, which made for some fascinating chats. We're definitely pumped to plan more in-person meet-ups in the future! 🚀

If you're as excited as we are and want to host a meet-up in your country, let us know, and we'll make it happen!

🦄 Sourcers of the month (March)

Bravo, Meli, and Ale! You're crushing it for the second month in a row!  🎉

🌟 This month's SUPERSTAR!

Getting to know more about Ale Suárez, T.A. Specialist.

💬 What is your favorite hobby? Even though I haven't quite mastered all the poses yet, I've been really into yoga for the past few months. I love practicing it and reading about related topics like chakras, yamas, niyamas, and all that stuff.

💬 What's the best place you've traveled to? And why? "Isla Fuerte" Colombia. This is not a very visited place. Getting there can be a challenge, but it's worth it. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. Picture this: the beach and jungle all in one place, with stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife, and the most breathtaking sunsets you'll ever see. It's a hidden gem you don't want to miss out on!

💬 What’s one item you can't live without? Scented candles. I love the cozy and relaxing atmosphere you can create by lighting a candle. They always make me feel calm and inspired.

💬 If you could spend one full day with someone famous (dead or alive), who would it be? (tell us why too!) Sofia Vergara has a fun-loving and outgoing personality. Spending an entire day with her would undoubtedly be a fun experience. She is inspiring, and I admire her authenticity.

💬 If you could teleport anywhere in the world right now, where would you go? I dream of traveling through the Amalfi Coast, walking through those beautiful towns with colorful buildings and stunning views. I'd love to try some authentic Italian food and relax there.

💬 What song makes you happy? 6's to 9's by Big Wild.
