I lived out of airbnbs for a few years trying to figure out what I wanted to do rebooting my career. I stayed in this basically illegal hostel in Beverly Hills run by this Chilean lady who was amazing. There were two other developers who were there a lot and a russian sex psychologist. So us four were always there for like the half a year I was at the spot. There was a rotating cast of characters in the bunk rooms.

It was one of my fondest times. I didn't really keep up with those people but I could see a different reality where me, a 60 year old salsa dancing chilean ex boat captain, a russian phd sex psychologist, and a devops engineer who's not maintaining his psych meds that well continue that adventure at new locations and maybe it's the best thing anyone's ever seen.

I wish there was a way to keep that train rolling. The host lady moved her operation to somewhere else. She's been running hostels for years. I should give her a call. She's for sure keeping the dream alive.
