June 4th, just came back from Chicago and to my surprise, Alessandro (my roommate) parents are in town, the pool is open and we are having a party.

June 1st 2005, Lena and I decided to visit Chicago. I heard a lot about it, I expected to see a city but I was amazed to discover a new world, a real home of culture and style.

Today I just got the chance to upload some pictures on this blog. Finally ill be able to give you a retrospective of what I had the chance to do around here... at least the main events.

25 years old, graduated in finance 6 months ago, without any plans to get a real job in the near future, once again, I am getting in a plane leaving my country (Morocco). This time United State of America is my destination.
I have been doing this a couple of times in the last 10 years but this time I am only planning to stay 1 year. I thought I was getting used to it but guess what; it is every time harder.
Getting in the plane, I knew the plane was heading to St Louis, Missouri; but really, that was the only thing I was certain about. Up in the sky, I realize that I am leaving my friends and family behind….
