MULTICONTINENTAL APARTMENT

Its been a very long time since I update this blog (sorry about that), but I've been wanting to write this piece since the first days I arrived in Orlando. The positive part about taking so long, is that I have more to say more about the topic.


Nobody said it was going to be easy, I was sure it was going to be interesting, but I never imagined it was going to be one of the most amazing experiences of my life that would leave me with great memories and the feeling of having a family outside my country.


The place was The Commons, apt. 1433, third floor, good view and great location. A two bedroom apartment for 4 people (just the right amount if you are living there, if you ask me).


So we were four girls from different parts of the world, truly from the four different corners of the world: Anastasia from Germany, Chantelle from Southafrica, Natsuki from Japan and me from Mexico.

We are so different and yet it was amazing how we got along right away. I remember my friends telling me everytime that, whenever they were in ous apartment, they could really feel the good vibes around the place.


I miss so much living with them: Natsuki's singing and her effort for learning Spanish (mostly the bad words); the long chats with Chantelle about my sentimental "problems"; Anastasia's potatos, her wine, her energy to party all night long and how she used to play songs over and over again... I miss them so much...

I am convinced that we will meet again someday. I've decided that I will do everything I can to visit them in their own countries. Any donations?

From Q1 to WDW

Almost three months have passed since the day I went to Mexico City to get my Q1 type Visa, but still I would like to tell you about this incredible experience.

It was the end of March when I met my arrivals at the Starbucks close to the American Embassy. I remember it was very early, and I was really cold and tyred, and I was the last one to arrive.

The whole process took around 3 hours, but it was the perfect time to get to know each other better (and I must confess that from that day I knew that we would get along really well, I liked them from the beggining).

Something I remember very well is that after the appointment I got for the first time this strange feeling of being on my own from that day (it also had to do with the fact that I was walking around Mexico City and taking the subway by myself for the first time- meaning no one was waiting for me or picking me up until my bus trip to Morelia-).

After 10 days I finally got my passport back and the rest was easy (plane ticket, insurance, etc.). Time just flew after that.

Now I have been living in Orlando for 2 months and I feel that a lot has happened since that day in the embassy (everything is going so fast). And that sensation of freedom still stays on, and I'm loving it.

I'll update soon, I promise.

Cheers.
