I am literally writing from the sky, so I guess here the inspiration is higher.<\/p>\n

I am on the border between the way to my home country and my host city (I rather to say my home for the past nine months). It is not easy to choose when you are standing on the line and the happiness smiles to you from both sides.<\/p>\n

My beautiful family at home or my also wonderful host family in Louisiana. The best dishes in the world prepared for my mom or the fun and delicious Cajun cuisine. The warm and sunny days in my tropic or four seasons in the other side. To hear people singing \u201cLas ma\u00f1anitas\u201d on my birthday or \u201cThe birthday song\u201d \u2013including baby version -. Enjoying the cheering and smiles of my little cousins or giving a \u201cgood morning\u201d to those big blue eyes every day. Barranquilla carnival or Mardi Gras. Mangos or strawberries. Iguanas or alligators. Papa Noel or Santa Claus. Soccer or football\u2026<\/p>\n

My conclusion: I love them all. My decision: keep discovering. I love home and I will enjoy this short time with my family for sure in the happiest place of this world: Colombia.<\/p>\n

But this first year as an Au Pair has been full of surprises, challenges and good memories that have helped me to discover my brave side. And I want it to least a little while more. For all those reasons I say today: in Baton Rouge I will stay, because every day is a party in the USA!<\/p>\n
