Thanks for the tips. I’ll be spending 2 days in Cusco and 2 days in Lima so I’ll have some time to check out both. I’m mainly going to Lima for the food. Ceviche is one of my favorite foods so I have to pig out while in Peru and I’ve read that Lima has some of the best restaurants in the country.
I hear Australia is awesome, it’s definitely on my travel itinerary.
If your friends are anything like mine and planning any large event with them is like getting a root canal, go alone. That way you can see what you want to do and have more of an incentive to meet people.
Good piece, sometimes we need that kick in the butt to really push us.
I’ve had a similar year of being 25 (except for the getting fired part) so you have my empathy. I’m ending the year with a 2 week solo trip to South America, a trip to San Diego for a bachelor party and New Years in NYC so things are definitely looking up. Now if only my dating life could pick up a bit…
Oh it’s similar here too. Every other person I meet works either in marketing or at some kind of startup that will most likely fail within the next 5 years. It’s interesting the first or second time, but not the 99th time.
If you ever find yourself in San Francisco and wanna grab a drink and not talk about our jobs, hit me up.
Why do people talk about their jobs at bars? I thought the whole point of getting out was to avoid thinking about our jobs?
I try to avoid talking about what I do because whenever I tell people that I’m a CPA at a hedge fund, they instantly assume that I either crunch numbers all day and/or do taxes, neither of which is true and actually explaining what I do would be too long for small talk.

I wish I could get sex easily enough where being an addict would be an option.
You brave soul, risking your dignity for the sake of #content. You deserve a Pulitzer Prize.

Been there, done that. She’s quite the cougar, but also a stage 5 clinger, so I had to let her go.
Nah. Doing the obligatory twenty-something pilgrimage to Machu Picchu and seeing Lima and Quito along the way.

Did Todd’a girlfriend get a job at your company?
Nor the type of obnoxious douchebags that would pay for them.
Gotta love LA.
Have you ever been to LA?
Of course it was the co-founder of Twinkies that bought it. Why does that not surprise me?
Agreed. Come on, deFries. I give you invaluable content and you just refer to me as “one commentor?”
I think so but it’s still the mansion as of now as far as I know.
Don’t forget the best part: as a resident, you’ll be only 2 miles from the Playboy mansion.
I can’t do your job for you, man.
Here it is, looking forward to reading your take: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-11/l-a-apartment-tower-asks-manhattan-rents-for-rolls-royce-botox
That’s nothing. There’s an apartment complex being built in LA that’ll have rents starting at $8,500 a month and will offer Botox shots on site.
Is this piece somehow a way for you to try and justify you cheating on that ex-girlfriend you hooked up with before leaving Chicago?

Is the investment banker still boring when you compare his paycheck to that of one of your aforementioned men in uniform?
