Hiiij Puerto Rican here 👋🏽! You’re going to love it. I highly recommend just going into San Juan, the island is so small that, for context, you can do a round trip of the whole island in about 4-5 hours. If you’re looking for less crowds the west coast is the best! Rincón is awesome AND they have bioluminescent waters in the evening though I forget the best time of the year. To the East you have Fajardo and Luquillo, both absolutely lovely as well. Though I HIGHLY recommend you visit old San Juan as well, could be an easy day trip honestly to get a good rounded experience. Here’s a pic from my last visit in February.

Hey all! My SO and I (gay dudes) are looking to move to CO/UT for 3-4 this winter to be close to the mountains and ski every weekend (+ plan to take a few weeks off). We’ve been looking at Aspen Snowmass mostly. Aspen itself seems to be too expensive but we found some affordable places in Basalt and El Jebel. Any tips from the group? What’s the best mountain to be on if our budget is 3500-4000ish/month, need space to WFH, want to be within 30min from slopes and be able to live our gay life?
