Suddenly a realized that I’m away from my country, my Family and friends to live a new life in Germany (and I didn’t even know german so you can imagine what could happen). But it was okay, because since I was a kid I had this desire inside me telling me to try, to know the world and get out of my comfort zone and that’s exactly what happen. Get out to Brazil to live in Germany it’s a huge difference, the food, the weather, the culture, the language... everything it was new and so wonderful, it was like I was in another world. I was there for a Exchange program, but it was more than just study it was about discovering and traveling not just in Germany but others countries too. That kind of experience it’s a life changing. You become a new person and you leave one piece of you in everywhere you go, everyone you meet, it doens’t exist nothing can compare to that. In Germany exist 4 different types of public transportation, in the begging it was confussing, I took the wrong bus (for the opposite direction), I try to speek german with my 2 weeks class when somebody didn’t know English (sometimes I had to use mime to communicate), a lot of things happen, I made mistakes and I learned. But I learned more than just my classes, I discovered more about the world, about myself, about relationships, about culture and nobady can take this from me, any money in the world can pay this kind of experience. It’s incredible how can a trip can give to you, sometimes you make plans, set a lot of activities to do and sometimes it doesn’t happen like you plan, it’s better. When I move out to Germany I didn’t expect to live all the things that I lived there. It happens a lot of first times for me, first time in Europe, first time living alone, first time in a concert, first time seeing snowing, first time traveling with friends... I mean it was more than I could ask, more than I could dream. Living there change me in a way that I wasn’t expecting. When I was there I could easily travel wherever I want and I did that. I visited Paris, that was a dream for a long time a go, who doens’t want to go to Louvre or the Eiffel Tower? Everyone! Such a amazing city there. I didn’t went just there, visited different countries and could actually set me free in this big world that we have. It was just 6 months, but for me it was the best time of my life, where I could live in maximum and have experiences that I would never forget. Since I back to Brazil I can’t stop thinking in coming back to live there. When I come back I became a new person, with a new vision about the world, with a desire not to always stay in the same place. I stopped being just a Brazilian citizen and became a citizen of the world.
