👋 WELCOME BACK TO THE FIRST #TECLA-CORE OF THE YEAR!

What's Inside: Introducing a new section, beginning with Euge. Check out Aleja's movie pick, explore the pet section, and see what "Ask Me Anything" is all about. Plus, stay updated on birthdays, work milestones, and more.

🧡 Personal Milestones

🇨🇴 Pedro traveled to Colombia to visit his family. In Barranquilla, visiting the new monuments of the city: "La Ventana al Mundo", "La Ventana de Campeones" and "La Ventana de Sueños (Lighthouse of Puerto Colombia)".

📍 Cartagena de Indias

📍 Archipelago Islas del Rosario

🇨🇴 Aleja shares with us how she spent her holidays with her family! I celebrated Christmas with my family, enjoying wonderful dinners and spending quality time together!

🇵🇪 Rodri went on a trip and shared the pictures with us! After spending a nice Christmas with my family, I went on a road trip around Cusco with my girlfriend and her family! It was very nice and we met in small towns that were not very touristy but very nice! After spending the New Year in Calca, we headed to Arequipa, we had a family reunion with my entire mother's family and it was super nice to be together!

🇺🇸 Abby took in a dog as a foster ❤️. I fostered a sweet older pup named Ziggy!

Meet Vero's pet, Janqu!

Here are some fun facts that Vero shared about him:

🐶 He is a sweet big old man, but grumpy since the day he came home as a puppy. He loves to lay in the sun, go to the park, eat hard-boiled eggs, and climb to our bed. But only on Sundays and just for 10 minutes, because he needs his space and his bed. Small dogs annoy him a lot because they always bark at him for no reason. He has started to notice my pregnancy, like he feels something’s off but can’t pinpoint what exactly, so he sniffs at my belly and lays his head in it (and that melts my heart).

🎉 2024 Comes with a brand new section!: A Day in the Life 📷

Choose a day from your typical week and tell us about your routine. Euge chose Monday!

I start the week with a boxing session to feel refreshed 🥊
When I get home, my dogs immediately seek cuddles and food, so I spend a few minutes playing with them.
If the weather is nice, I make sure to go for a walk to increase my vitamin D levels; they plummeted this winter 😂.
Lately, I've been enjoying a coffee shop called 'Malagrino' near my house, where I work in the mornings. It's a great way to start the week and shake off the typical Monday blues.

P.S.: If you ever come to Buenos Aires 🇦🇷, you must visit this place, everything is a 10/10.

After work, I either chill at home or grab a coffee with friends (I'm a big fan of coffee shops 😅).
Then, when I get home, I read a book; the one I've recently started is called 'Pensar a la Japonesa'.
After dinner, I get to work on my thesis investigating the psychological impacts of dating apps and gender dynamics within these platforms. Also, I've acquired a new guilty pleasure: I'm totally hooked on 'Gran Hermano' this season. Never thought I'd be so into it, but here I am watching it while writing my thesis!
