A Month in Houston – Work and life

A month has already flown by, and I have to say, I’m enjoying every single day!

During this time, I’ve started to find my rhythm. It’s meant reorganizing myself, building new routines, and figuring out how to get around the city. Metro, car, bike? So far, I’ve been relying on the metro, but in Houston, a car is a must. I’ll probably write a post soon about my adventure getting a car and a driver’s license—stay tuned!

About work

My short time at the office has been fantastic, and I’m so happy with the decision. My colleagues, my boss, and the overall setup of the office is incredible. Having worked at studios and a construction company before, I’m genuinely impressed by the quality of the projects, the organization, and the teamwork here.

I’m already diving into two projects that I’m super excited about—not just for what I get to propose but also for the learning curve that I will have. It’s opening doors to new methodologies that will keep pushing me to grow and refine my skills.

About life

Houston is massive, and I’m discovering it bit by bit. So far, I’ve visited NASA, , and tKhemahe Museum of Fine Arts, and I can already tell there’s so much more to explore. The city is also famous for its diverse food scene, so there’s always something new to try. It’s a multicultural hub, and I’m loving it.

A couple of weeks ago, Houston even had a snowfall! The city isn’t equipped for snow, but it was heartwarming to see everyone out enjoying it—kids, dogs, and families playing together. It was a beautiful sight.

Reflections

Moving to a new city has been a challenge, but a rewarding one. Sure, there have been a few bumps along the way, but nothing that couldn’t be figured out. If anyone out there is considering taking the leap to start fresh somewhere new, I can only say: go for it.

It’s still early days, but I’ll say it again—I’m so glad I made this choice, and I can’t wait to share more of this journey with you.
