    Starting the Adventure: Getting My Student Visa

    The day my student visa was approved for the United States, a country full of potential and ambitions that would serve as the blank canvas for my very first international trip, I found myself on the verge of an exhilarating experience.

    Sharing the Load: A Cozy Apartment on a Budget

    In a collaborative effort, my friends and I decided to lease a cosy 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment for $2,500 in total, which translates to approximately $830 each. This joint venture not only allowed us to share the cost but also enabled us to enjoy a comfortable living space while managing our individual budgets effectively. By pooling our resources and splitting the expenses equally, we were able to secure a place that catered to both our financial needs and our desire for a shared living experience. 

    My story in the foreign country began to take shape as it moved from the bustling centre of the city to the friendly embrace of my current home. The expedition, which had been started with anticipation and caution, ended with a story of tenacity and discovery. At the intersection of two cities, I came to the realization that travel was more than just a physical adventure; it was also an inward journey that left an imprint on the fabric of events that make up our lives.
