A leap into the unknown United Kingdom

In Brazil, in the city Fortaleza, there is a program that choose some students to do a exchange to other country. Bruna was one of them chosen and she went to Manchester in England. That was so scared to her, because she had never been in other country and didn't know to speak English and there wasn't anybody to help her, only the other students. She felt alone in the first week, because the host family she was living didn't understand her, the communication was very bad between both of them. At the school, she made some friends and met others Brazilians and she got so much happy to met them. And now with friends, she felt the trip was going to really start. She started to go out with them, met other people in the pubs and danced so much. Also, she traveled to other cities in the UK like Scotland, where she took beautiful pictures, and London, where she had a great time. But after two months, the trip was going to finish and she got very emotional to say goodbye to her friends and host family, which created a relationship with her, even she not speaking English very well. To finish, she came back to Brazil and realized that the life she wants is traveling, knowing and meeting other cultures and people, so now she has just one thought: going to travel the whole world.
