My favorite podcast is back and all is right in the world again 😍

I fell in love with @onbeing years ago, back when I was traveling full-time, and I can still vividly remember where I was walking in the world as I listened to particular episodes.

These days, my journeys take place a little closer to home – often in the form of stroller walks around Montevideo, as Elena and I start exploring the world together.

But On Being is still a constant companion. Not only does it help me live the questions – as Rilke would say – but often, it helps me understand what questions I should even be asking in life.

Thank you, @onbeing, for always bringing wisdom and insights to my walks, and I can’t wait to begin passing them on now to my favorite little explorer 🤍

One of my latest illustration projects was one of my favorites yet — a series of illustrated maps of Colombia for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Their new exhibition, “The Portable Universe / El Universo en tus Manos,” explores indigenous Colombian art, and to tell the story of how the exhibit came together, they also created a documentary that my maps and artwork were commissioned for. Thanks so much to @lacma and @agnes.stauber for the chance to be part of this special series! 🇨🇴✨
