As any reader of my posts will notice, I rarely add something controversial. I happened to see this and thought, hey, wait. Is this a good idea? I am aware that people enter the US and do overstay their stay. It’s anyone’s guess why someone overstays their visa; however, if we demand a substantial pre-payment to enter, we are implying the person will overstay. That doesn’t seem right to me; I’m not aware of any other country that has a policy like this. Should we be setting a bad example with such a unique policy?
I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
