MEXICO.

To celebrate the culmination of four years of medical school, most recent graduates will prescribe you a Once-In-A-Lifetime Trip. The trip that you will become your mental retreat during the long days/years of residency training to come. I took this to heart and spent a month finding the most luxurious (almost impossibly so for a student with 6-figure debt) resort for a solo adventure. The epitome of “Soft Life”. I arrived at Cala de Mar Resort & Spa in Ixtapa, Mexico - a secluded corner of paradise that featured private suites with infinity pools overlooking the ocean.

This five-day adventure will forever remind me of the importance of self-love and self-celebration at all stages,
