All you need to know about the US student visa

Let’s talk about the student visa for the United States today. As some of you may know, I recently moved to Chicago to study and many asked me what the process had been like. The process was slow, I won’t deny it. As for the student visa, I have the F1 visa which corresponds to […]

Conversations in the bus

A few weeks ago I was getting off the plane to get into these shuttles that take us to the airport. I was in Barcelona. In front of me, there was a group of Portuguese, 6 (4 girls and 2 boys). For the pint, they should be 25 or even less. I’m pretty sure they were […]

Don’t forget to check on yourself

It was about a month ago that I came back from Mexico. I am not sure what happened during that week but the only think I know is that I came a totally different person. People might not see it from the outside but I know inside of me something changed. Integrating and fitting in this […]

First quarter is done

You have no idea with how much joy I am writing this post. I can’t say the past 4 months have been the hardest ones of the my life but they have definitely been challenging. I am the kind of person who always complains about things but also the person who is never satisfied with […]

I love meeting and connecting to new people. I believe that’s the reason why I love traveling so much: on the road you […]

Confessions

People tell me to forget who I was and what I did. People tell me to forget the experiences I had and the jobs I did. People also tell me to be less me and to be more “American”. Around here, fake smiles and “b***” emails are the best. Sometimes I feel lost. Lost in […]
