You get a new job? See it says PE

Yeah I just got a new position at a small PE shop - I start next month.

Congrats on the new job in PE! Where in SC? Are you a fan of Kiawah or Seabrook?

Thanks bro! I’m in Charleston, but the company is based in Chicago. The MD actually lives in Charleston as well. Yeah I think I used to play tennis down there. Kiawah and Seabrook are nice.

Would need to travel internationally more to know for sure, but in the US I’d love to be in calabasas or malibu long term with a ski house in jackson hole. I live close enough to malibu right now to go pretty often, but I have to live there in my 30s if I can. Would need to see switzerland and E/SE asia to verify if cities like geneva or singapore are worthwhile.

 

San Sebastián, Spain for sure. Basque Country is such an incredible place for everything from the cuisine to surfing - the culture in general is just an excellent experience.

 

San Sebastián is a cool area
