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

Let's face it: almost all of us need coffee to function in the mornings. In Puerto Rico, we are used to really strong and flavorful cafecito, which is why I was extremely scared about coffee elsewhere. But coffee was one of the few things that was able to keep me rooted in my traditions.

I'm not the biggest fan of espresso shots, but they did the job at 3 p.m. when I was falling asleep, because of jet lag. Having accessible coffee there made me feel right at home with all the coffee shops I adore.
