It was my first time travel to another country alone. So many people and parents from my home country are afraid and anxious if their girl goes abroad alone, they will not permit her to go abroad alone. Luckily, I have my parent's permission. I did not have any idea what would I do there, how should I reach the train, how I would find the living place. I said to myself to be brave and believe that there will a lot of kind people help me. After a long and exhausting flight, I arrived in France and I still cannot believe that I go to France alone. I am so confused at the first time but I said to myself again: be brave, believe on yourself! Finally I could handle it by contact a friend and he told me about the train route that I could get to my living place. I thought that I was there alone, but there were some local people lived with me. They were come from different areas and had a short stay with me. I started to learn their daily life, how they bake bread, learn and practice French, exchange story and cooking recipes from our country. The city that I have been stayed was far away from Paris, it was a small town called Le Creusot. When I have a discussion with Parisian (a person who live in Paris), he asked me why I choose that small town, there is nothing interesting than Paris. I explained him that I do not want any ordinary travel like another people, Paris is beautiful but I want to know how French people in daily life. I believe that each country and place has its own culture that makes them special. It was interesting to travel in a place that you have never imagined before. You would find something new and interesting. For example, I could stargaze the beautiful sky in a peace and harmony because there is a beautiful and quiet hill that could be reached by walk. The local charm was always mesmerized me. I thought that it was a useless idea why I came to that place, but finally I realize that came to unusual place will give you extraordinary experience. The important things are do not be afraid, always open minded with the other people, bring your charming smile every time, enjoy every moments.
