Ron Medina Cruz
Ron Medina Cruz is a relic of the travel blogging era. He missed the bus to vlogging after hiding under a rock halfway through signing up for a YouTube account. He is currently a Vice President at a global bank in Singapore, an entrepreneur, and a proud microwave chef. When not staring blankly at a desktop screen, he’s usually dumpster diving into the sketchy corners of astrophysics or regional politics before spiraling into the inexorable doom-scroll, mostly of cat videos. Powered by caffeine, delusions, and emotional instability, he writes because he finds Western therapy questionable. His favorite writing tool remains the backspace key—proof that regret fuels creativity far better than inspiration ever could.
