If You're Puerto Rican Like Me, Follow These Tips When Traveling Abroad

The homemade remedies abuelas make are from another planet. Somehow, they work magic, and any potential sickness disappears. I don't know if it's just an abuela thing, but the ingredients used for their weird teas and mixtures also matter — the weird suggestions, too, like putting Vicks VapoRub behind my ears when I have a cold. None of that was at reach in Rome, and the medicines over there do not function the same in these Latinx bodies, so make sure to bring medicines that you know work for sure.
