I’ve had this dream of living in a small city with great restaurants, interesting culture, and easy access to nature. I explore Santa Fe, New Mexico and consider if it may be the place for me and Nick.

I interviewed Marja Martin, the owner and manager of Paloma, in May 2021. Five months later, her son Leo’s life was tragically taken in a car accident. Leo’s girlfriend, Lisette, was in the car with him. Lisette survived, thankfully, but was seriously injured.

Marja organized a Go Fund Me to support Lisette with her mounting medical expenses. If you feel like helping out some lovely people, please consider donating.
