# St. Louis

Middle Land of Past Dreams

I spent about three years in St. Louis, diving into my studies and soaking up the city’s unique vibe. This city carries a quiet charm. It taught me to slow down and really appreciate the little things—the spontaneous jazz nights in Grand Center, the breathtaking sunsets over Forest Park, or that perfect scoop of Ted Drewes ice cream on a summer evening. St.Louis is not as fancy as those big cities on the coasts, but it’s got its own special character. It’s a bit old-school, while it proudly standing in the midwest along the Mississippi River. I’m grateful for the time I spent there, discovering all the hidden gems and everyday comforts that make it such a cozy place.
