A JOURNAL SINCE 2005
5561
Named after the number of the house where I grew up in Chile. Personal stories, travel, product and AI, books, and a thank-you to every year since 2013.
Welcome to 5561CL
I went online back in 2005 to explore the exciting and ‘new’ world of blogs. What it started like a personal journal is now a full fletched website that I mainly use for professional purposes.
However, in 5561CL -the number of the house where I grew up in, back in Chile - I speak about more personal things, from my ‘thanks [insert year] series, to my travels around the world and certainly, some explorations around fintech, product management, real states or economics, all topics I’m very fond of.
With that being said, welcome to 5561CL a blog that contains personal stories dating back 2013, the year I moved to Milan to pursue my MBA

I’m super happy to say I smashed my Goodreads reading goal for the year. I thought 20 books were enough but I read 26, and some of them were great!
My top 5 books for 2021
Last year I could not read as much as I wanted. Even though “I had time” because of the pandemic, I struggled to focus and get into a book. Any book.
My top 5 books of 2020
A weird year, especially bookwise.
1 Country = 1 Book
Lately, I have been reading about different topics at the same time; I get inspiration from The New York Times Books Review or the Reading Glasses Podcast to find new authors and my to-read list is always growing.
