About Loose Gringa

Hola, me llamo Sarah Sweeney. ¿Cómo estás? Bienvenidos a mi blog.

I’m a poet, nonfiction writer, and journalist for Harvard University’s official news source, the Gazette. In February of 2011 I won a couple thousand dollars betting on the SuperBowl and booked a vacation to Cozumel, where I promptly fell in love with the people, culture, and beauty of the Mexican Caribbean.

My return trip in November 2011 cemented the allure of this magical place. For the past few years, I’ve felt stifled creatively and spiritually, but my visits to Mexico renewed my sense of adventure.

Now, after uprooting my Boston life for two months this summer to live in and explore the Yucatan, I’m plotting to return for an entire year and finish a memoir about my adventures and a book of poems set in Cozumel.
