One of the best experiences of my life!

After the study abroad ended I went to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. I must say Rio is not what I expected, but was in Rio where I started thinking more about my whole experience in Brazil. At the beginning of the study abroad we were students learning and visiting places in a foreign country, but then we became a group of friends. Sometimes we were so tired, but we had to go and see beautiful places about the history of Brazil. Most of the experiences required us to work as a team, and learn how to work with others even when we had totally different points of view. When we went to the sertão we had to go on hike to see ancient drawings made by Indians 2,000 years ago, if you know me you know I don't like hiking, but now I like it. When me made it to the place where the drawings were I felt I accomplished something and the view was beautiful. Being out there made me thought about so many things I never realized before and I thought I wish I had done this before. In Manaus the same, I finally understand why people like so much to be in touch in nature. Why I like it? when all the noise from the city and the world is gone you can finally hear your thoughts clearly and combine them with the feelings of your heart plus a perfect scenery. Scenery that there is no words to explain how beautiful and fulfilling it is. Consequently is inevitable to be a different person after it everything seems more clear... If you are thinking about going on a study abroad or to travel do it! don't go to another country just to the beach for example, you must get in touch with the culture and the people. It is in the people where you can find the real riches of a country. I loved everything about Brazil even what I did not like because all that mixed together is Brazil. Brazil is a country that has nothing to envy to other countries. With time it has been growing and it would keep growing. If you are looking for an opportunity to find yourself, what are you capable to do, what you need to improve and what you have been missing all this time go abroad and live!. Life is wonderful and everyday is an opportunity to be happy. Be happy, positive and bring those feelings plus a smile to those around you. The adventure begins now :).
