Or simply Salam Alaikum. Translating: peace be upon you.
A week before the six-month anniversary of my trip, I decided to start writing about my journey, so as not to leave any of you lost, I'm going to begin with a brief report on what I've done so far.
I left Uberlandia (my hometown in Brazil) at the end of March. I did it to spend some months traveling, volunteering and meeting new faces. After a few days in Paris and Berlin, I arrived in Wroclaw (pronounced Vrots-suav), Poland. I lived and worked there for six weeks with an Indian and a Nigerian boy, two Chinese, one Thai, one beautiful Filipina and an Ukrainian girl.
After Poland and a stroll through the neightbour countries, I went to St. Petersburg. I did not only see the sun setting at 11 pm and rising at 3 am: I also worked and made friends with people from around the world, such as India, Indonesia, Romania and Serbia. Though, I had some problems along the way - I once got robbed while sleeping on the streets - but, still, nothing of that spoiled my favorite destination so far: Russia!
Over one month later, I moved to the capital, Moscow. Without any doubt, the must fun place in Europe. The city reminds me of Brazil: frenetic and hot (yes, hot, I went there during the high summer, ok?). St. Petersburg is to Rio while São Paulo is to Moscow.
Then, after two months in Russia, it was the time for another empire: the Austrian! I lived in Salzburg for five special weeks. This time without any colleagues from anywhere ... No Indians or Chinese, just me and my summerticket (kind of rail pass for the summer in Austria: 70 euros and you can travel at much as you wish in Austria).
Now, I'm in the most exotic country of my entire journey: TUNISIA! This place is like a video game! The houses, the palm trees, the Arabic alphabet, mosques, marketers and burqas (even in the heat of almost 40 degrees). Thanks to Allah, I finally got back to work in an international team with Germans, Polish, Romanians, French and Canadians. They're just really nice and extremely intelligent.
I'll keep you posted with all of my future escapades so do visit my blog again!
Salam!
ps.: comments are very welcome ;)

CARPE DIEM! You've perfectly mastered the line, "Live life to the fullest." Your travels have inspired me to explore the great beauties of the world. I know one lifetime is not enough to witness all of them, but it seems possible with your blog. So keep 'em coming! :-)
