“This is what we Mexicans do:we take what exists and we make it our own.”
― Stephanie Elizondo Griest, Mexican Enough: My Life Between the Borderlines

“Burn a little incense, sacrifice a chicken or two, smoke a cigar, then shake your maracas and dance.”
― Stephanie Elizondo Griest, Around the Bloc: My Life in Moscow, Beijing, and Havana

“That's because true travel, the kind with no predetermined end, is one of the most selfish endeavors we can possibly undertake-an act in which we focus solely on our own fulfillment, with little regard to those we leave behind. After all, we're the ones venturing out into the big crazy world, filling up journals, growing like weeds. And we have the gall to think they're just sitting at home, soaking in security and stability.
It is only when we reopen these wrapped and ribboned boxes, upon our triumphant return home, that we discover nothing is the way we had left it before.”
― Stephanie Elizondo Griest, Around the Bloc: My Life in Moscow, Beijing, and Havana
