When you truly connect with your surroundings, the answers you seek will find you.
My name is Julio Zerecero. I’m an international attorney specializing in business and technology law, born and raised in the vibrant heart of Mexico City. It’s where I earned my license and developed a passion for travel—a habit I’ve intertwined with my career. Over the years, I’ve wandered the globe, diving into the worlds of business and technology while soaking in the richness of different cultures, landscapes, and, most importantly, connecting with amazing people. It’s a pursuit I plan to carry through my life. Right now, that journey has brought me to Los Angeles, where I’m pursuing my LLM and exploring the city’s vibrant culture.
After a demanding semester adapting to life at Loyola Law School, winter break arrived like a deep breath after a long dive. I took the chance to recharge—exploring the beaches of South Bay, training at a local martial arts dojo near the apartment, and soaking in the calm, friendly vibe of the area. It felt good to slow down and just exist for a while.
I also returned to my hometown, Mexico City. Reconnecting with family and friends was grounding, especially while revisiting my favorite spots—the Independence Angel in the city’s heart, the bustling streets that pulse with life, and, of course, the food. God, the food. There’s nothing quite like it. I even squeezed in a quick trip to Acapulco, a legendary beach destination from the old days. My family and I headed to Punta Diamante, where we devoured fresh seafood, watched stunning sunsets, and relished the warm energy of Mexico. The crowd was international—tourists from the U.S. and Europe—and it felt similar to the diverse energy of the LLM program at Loyola.
Soon enough, it was time to head back. I caught a Friday afternoon flight with a bit of turbulence that added some spice to the journey. Touching down in Los Angeles, I was greeted by local friends who whisked me off for pizza—a nice welcome back. Now, I feel recharged, ready to tackle the new semester, strive for success, savor the experience, and walk across that stage in the spring graduation. Life, as always, is an adventure.
