Kenia in the Middle

Navigating the world & life as a middle sister!

  • A month away-ish

    Next month I’ll be 22. As the weeks this summer have gone by, I’ve truly felt myself getting older. Looking back on past birthdays, I’ve always thought, Wow I’m getting older. However, this year is different. For the first time, I feel a genuine sense of getting older as the next year keeps approaching. I… Continue reading

  • Currently… figuring out adult money

    Wow. The US Education system really needs to mandate a finance class for high school kids. That’s my first thought. Secondly, this is a personal note to my father who I would get annoyed at when trying to teach me about stocks, bonds, Charles Schwab or whatever, etc. I am sorry. Being in college, yeah,… Continue reading

  • Moment of the Week!

    I recently hung out with one of my close friends from high school. Trying to fit one another into packed schedules over the holidays, we went and grabbed a chai down in Dana and walked around the farmers market for a bit. Something small just to check in. Granted, I know I’ll see her a… Continue reading

  • Learning as I go

    My birthday has just recently passed, meaning I’m now a 21 year old woman (craziest statement to ever write down). This past year with all honesty has been my most complex, I’ve had some of the best and worst of times. I feel like this past year I have learned a lot about my emotions… Continue reading

  • Turning the Page

    As many of you know I started this blog at a young age to share the unique experience of my families travels. With my sisters and I getting older, schedules getting packed, and growing into individuals my blog began to sit waiting to be logged into. I like to view myself as a creative person… Continue reading

  • Puerto Rico 2023 Recap

    I’m currently sitting in the Chicago airport on my layover so, the time has come to reflect on my travels and give my recommendations. Let’s start with the positives. This experience has truly opened my mind more than I thought it needed. I met amazing people and gained more hands on experience doing something I’m… Continue reading

  • PR Day 27: Last Day 6/23/23

    Today was bittersweet. I’m honestly a lot more sad to leave than I expected. I woke up this morning knowing it was my last time waking up here in this place that somewhat now feels like home. I walked to the garden for the last time and began watering all the plants. Juan and Yvette… Continue reading

  • PR Day 26: Self date 6/22/23

    Hola! This morning I woke up feeling so happy and energized. I decided to spend some time on the roof watching the clouds before I had to get ready. At 9:45 I started my daily walk to the garden. Today we did so much pruning to clear out some space in the back. We used… Continue reading

  • PR Day 25: Limbers 6/21/23

    Hapoy Wednesday, I woke up in a rainstorm this morning! It’s funny because I thought it’d be pouring all day but by the time Yvette picked me up and we drove to the volunteering location it had already stopped. At least the plants got a little extra water though! Today we went back to the… Continue reading

  • PR Day 24: Lagoon Cleanup 6/20/23

    What up guys! Day 2 with the children’s group. Today we went to a small community located next to Laguna los Corozos. Within the community an organization has created called Proyecto Península de Cantera. It was formed in 1992 to protect the lagoon and the surrounding communities. After the hurricane most of their progress was… Continue reading
