Welcome to Chicago !
The essence of Chicago has duplicity unlike any other American city. The restaurants are equally notable for cutting-edge concepts like molecular gastronomy and burly bricks of sausage-stuffed deep-dish. Residents in the ‘city that works’ play hard too – sprawling on sandy beaches, packing bars until 5am and whiling away an entire summer with outdoor festivals. The windy city is famous for Al Capone, Barak Obama and Oprah. The city is also a great cultural outpost and has a huge Irish, Spanish, Polish, German and Greek population.
Your Chicago Team
Maria Dollas
EuroCircleI have been in the US all my life, my parents are Greek and my first language was Greek. I am a program supervisor for an international business organization in Chicago. We invite foreign heads of state and other officials to come to Chicago to address our organizations membership on relevant issues, such as trade, investment opportunities and so on.
My interests are people, dancing, having fun, languages. I have Kaisa to thank for finding me in January 2000 (for those of you who don’t know Kaisa, make sure you read her answers as well!) It all started off with an innocent phone call, and the next thing I know, I was hooked. I think my overall life philosophy can be best summed up by being thankful to all the wonderful people who have made EuroCircle possible.
