Many people thought I was crazy because it was impossible to get a job and a working visa in this country and they tried to persuade me to look for a job in some other place. <strong>But I never gave up!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I worked for some months in a few\u00a0offices in Madrid and collaborated with some architects but the idea of living my &#8220;american dream&#8221; was still there. In the sumer of 2017 I\u00a0made\u00a0the decision: I was definitely going to New York city. I prepared everything with my boyfriend, who is architect too and shared my dream, and we planned our trip. <strong>We visited the city for about ten days last October and presented our work and portfolio in some offices.<\/strong> It was not an easy adventure because most of the companies did not allowed us to\u00a0go into the office\u00a0without a previous interview or an appointment. There were many moments of desperation and we thougt maybe these people that discouraged us were right.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.architect-us.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG-20171003-WA0016-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.architect-us.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG-20171003-WA0016-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.architect-us.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG-20171003-WA0016-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.architect-us.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG-20171003-WA0016-740x987.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.architect-us.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG-20171003-WA0016.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The day before going back to Spain we had <strong>an interview with<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ten-arquitectos.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ten Arquitectos<\/a>.
