In 2019 I decided to escape of my comfort zone and to live a new adventure. I always wanted to spend some time travelling like in that movie “Eat Pray Love”, so instead of just “want” it, I decided to “do” it. I started to save money and 10 months later I quitted my job, bought my tickets and started my 100 days journey around Europe. During my trip I didn't expect to find good people who would let me stay in their houses and trust me as if I were part of their family. I had a big sunday lunch and met part of a real Spanish family tree, I played and ate custard tart after a tourist day in Lisbon and I was very lucky to stay I an old lady’s house who surprised me with some yoga classes to make my mind and my body healthier. I know I already wrote here about a romantic movie, but I didn't expect to find a special man during my trip. When I write 'special man" I mean that guy that shows you his city and take you to the best places. That man that looks to your eyes and can see your soul. The one that makes you forget who you are and makes you think that you belong to that place, that you belong to him. Yes, I know this looks silly but I really felt like Julia Roberts. A lot of good things happened, but unfortunately bad things can happen too. I didn’t expect to find prejudice and racist people treating me like I were an animal and looking at me with hunger eyes. I hope someday we can live and travel in a world free of these bad behavior and all human beings can be free and respected. I know I was innocent thinking like this, but I thought that I would find the answers for all my doubts and I would come back home with all my decisions made. What a big mistake! I didn't expect to find myself but I met a new me. A brave woman who's not afraid of the unknown. That one who can communicate with others, even in a language she doesn’t speak. The person who can think about the “now” for some days and don't worry about her fears that freaks her out every single day in her life. She learned that is ok if the answers of all her questions are not so clear and it’s ok to feel insecure. It’s ok because we can learn with all these situations to be a better person. And last but not less important: it’s ok to feel like Julia Roberts because we can dream and be the best character of our own movies.
