Late gen-z who's too cringe to be cool and too cool to be actually cool. This is cliche but I do love to travel, to read, and to write. Marketing Wiz @ Stacklist (that's right! here! 🚀) and at a few other corners of the internet. Married cat lady.

Gente di Mare

For the best seafood in Costa Rica there's no place like the coastline. But if you happen to be in San Jose and are craving a sea-feast, Gente di Mare will most definitely hit the spot.

Mercato La Caoba

Go for the wine but stay for the pizzas 🍷 One of my favorite spots in delSol, it's a great little spot for dinner or even a quick lunch. Beware: It fills up fast on the weekends.

Get the burrata pizza and a pitcher of sangria. Love the ambiance in this place and the oven-made pizzas. Recommended on a warm Spring night for the best vibe.

Taco Dealer

Here’s what you’re getting: XXL burrito, an order of totopos, and a mixed soft-tortilla taco order, down with a michelada or a coke for the non-alcohol crowd. Go late. And go hungry. Serves two.

Some of my fave thriller and mystery books. Me and other forty young women curated this Stack, so I know it's golden.

The Housemaid

I love The Housemaid because it's not written in a far off reality in a different world. It's the real world. And that's much more terrifying.

Girls will be girls will be girls. And some times girls do disturbing things in secluded places that may or may not look like a cult is taking over a prestigious university and offing people for sport. Some times.

The Silent Patient

Thrilling, indeed. This was a page-turner for me and I loved every second of it! A book-club pick for our Halloween special, this turned out to be one of the favorite books of 2023.

If We Were Villains

If you're scared of Shakespeare this one will knock your socks off. But also if you're scared of young, impulsive senior students with too much time in their hands. I know I would be.

Big Little Lies

This one's for those who say 'the book is better than the show' -- I hear you! But in this case the show is great, too. Though the book, by all means, is definitely darker.
