Home Visit!

Home Visit! I love working, but sometimes it is time to go home...I miss home so much - more than chocolate when I try to go on a diet for one day! Young people like me sometimes don't realize how much they love and treasure home before they leave it.

Hopefully, starting a little piece of writing about food will help me with these difficulties. They are not the only weaknesses I have, but they seem to be easier to mend than any other issues.  At present, I live in Bruxelles. I consider myself to be an always moving expatriate. I study in Spain and I am here on an internship. I have already been in a colocation with nine other very...
