Memories of Minnesota

“The land of 10,000 lakes.”

Minnesota is another state close to my heart. It was in Minneapolis in May 2014 where I had my Flight Attendant training and earned my wings.

The month-long stay in Minneapolis was filled with great memories. I had gained knowledge and skills in aviation, wonderful experiences, as well as new friends.

My visit to St. Paul Minneapolis church was a significant part of my training. My faith helped beat the challenge. This journey was not all hard work after all. I had so much fun with my classmates during group studies and some night outs.

Mall of America, which is the biggest mall in America, became our second home. When you are traveling to Minneapolis with kids, visiting this mall is recommended.

A month of hard work, fun, and ultimately success are the reasons why I love Minnesota! This experience has absolutely changed my life.

I haven’t seen much of Minnesota, but my flight attendant memories are vivid, documented, and would last a lifetime. 

One day I would like to explore more of this state. Maybe I can paddle a boat in one of their 10,000 lakes.

I fell in love with Virginia

     Years ago, when I first visited Virginia as a tourist, I had thought that in case I decided to immigrate to the US, I would like to live in Virginia. It’s a beautiful state, and I fell in love with it.

     I have traveled to Virginia a couple of times in the past. My previous travels included a trip with my best friend, an official trip with my former office - US Trade & Development Agency, and another trip with an embassy friend. The recent trip and one of my favorites were when I traveled for the Endeavor Air Flight Attendant interview. It was indeed a successful trip!

     Virginia is one of my favorite states. I have great memories here, and it's close to my heart. I've seen some beautiful places in Virginia, but I would like to revisit and explore more.
