Went recently. Absolutely nothing happened and border was a breeze, but was still stressed about it.

I’ve been three times in ’25 and narrowly avoided a fourth. It’s been uneventful except the last trip to NYC they asked a few questions about why I had to do the meeting in person. I said fuck do I know? They wanted to meet, but it definitely could have been a phone call.

What annoys me is spending money in their economy when they have such brazen disrespect for ours.

Super easy. Had all my paperwork organized and ready but didn’t have to pull it out even once.

Super easy. (And I was super stressed leading up to it). The biggest takeaway for me was how empty it was. From being dropped off by my Uber to sitting at the gate was 15 minutes.

What did you say your reason for travel was?

Totally normal

Every serious agency will ask you for your work permit status to get paid.

How do you split income/expenses with your spouse? Wife earns about 75% as much as me. Don’t have kids yet. Do you have a joint account for everything or do you split common expenses 50-50 or in proportion to income? Something else? This has caused some contention so want to benchmark. Thanks!

I'm going to Machu Picchu next month with my brother and hiking the Inca trail. Any recommendations on what I absolutely need to bring for the hike? Anyone who hiked the Inca trail take like a battery pack or something with them for their camera?

Also, I'm considering bringing my drone even tho I know I can't take it into any of the sacred places like Machu picchu. I also have to register it with customs when I get into the country. Is it still worth taking? I can use it around Cusco and Lima

Been in the strat game for over a decade; I’ve realized that a strong department with clear process that is built on end to end problem solving (with time to think) is when I’m happiest vs this award show / case study grind. What are some agencies you all work or have worked at, that value strategy as a department and not a creative case study farm? Looking to figure out what’s next.

Is our industry as competitive as some say? I see a lot of people saying this and I work with a bunch of hacks (myself included). It felt like a little while ago agencies were begging to hire new talent, and most couldn’t find new people. Is it really that hard to get a job at an agency? Maybe I’m just out of touch being in this career for so long.
