The best experience is not always that far from you

I didn't expect to find Brazil

My trip is one of the simplest, as it is low-income and unable to afford it, but special for me. As a student at UnB, I enrolled in the community communication discipline. The discipline made to visit unknown places or without much communication about it. Fercal! Nor have I ever heard of anyone talking about this place in DF. And my limited vision was not able to believe it was a place belonging in the DF and very close. I thought I would teach more, but I learned more. Humble people and with another look showing you another world, in that great pride of belonging to that place, even if simple. Traveling is learning, enriching. Telling their stories of how they discovered a well to obtain water and the happiness they felt, something so common to all of us while not to them. When I saw another look of life, I realized how enriching it is to leave our "little worlds" and appreciate what is outside. In my experience I realized that anywhere, even the closest where nobody notices, I could already have an enriching trip.
