Built in Agua Escondida, Jalisco
I built Puente because I needed it. As a Canadian expat living in the Lake Chapala area, I experienced every day how generic translation tools miss the cultural context that makes real communication possible.
The moment that crystallized it: a taxi driver in Guadalajara who couldn't read in any language. We navigated with gestures and smiles. It worked — but it made me think about how many conversations fail because of the gap between languages and cultures.
