CONSIDER YOURSELF INFORMED!

The Barcelona Barrios Excursion is fast-approaching, and the best way to stay tuned in is with a membership through patreon.com/jimbotimes, which helps support expenses for the journey. Also note that this Thursday, April 6th, we join forces with Michelle Rivera, of UCLA’s Masters in Urban Planning program (MURP). Michelle and I will be discussing not only her Masters program, but also her own upcoming trip to Paris, France this fall. Join us for the chat via IG Live!
