A leap into the unknown Brazil

He used to be a kind man, doing everything he could to be useful and help others. Trying to go through the regular path, the tradicional one. He couldn't realize that what he was doing was hurting him, he needed something different and didn't see the beauty of the unknown in life. After years of his life, suffering from anxiety and depression, he made the decision of traveling for a few months and explore the northeast part of Brazil. Out of sudden, all by himself, he bought a plane ticket to Salvador and went without thinking a lot about it. Before he could realize, he was walking around that historical city with a bunch of people, in other situations he would consider them strangers but he was so confident that after the first hello they became friends exploring a new place and a new opportunity of knowing a different culture with a lot of friends from such a great variety of cultures! In the first day he was so amazed by the outcome of his plans that he just saw the world with different eyes. After some days there he understood that it was time to go somewhere else and keep traveling. He found a good way of keep going and started working in exchange for accommodation and a good breakfast. We he noticed that he didn't have to live a regular, traditional life his mind changed in a way that it would never be the same again. Now he knew that he could do what he wanted without being judged. He had to be strong and confident enough to be himself everywhere he was, being open-minded and meeting new people everyday and sharing great life experiences and knowledge with people from all over the globe! He will never become that kind, scared man ever again!
