Chapter I - The Departure


It works like this: you do not know how far you can go, and then you decide to try. If it works, great, if not, no reason to complain, at least it helped you to find out what is your limit.

After holidays in Rio de Janeiro, I decided that it was the time for an exchange. Thanks to a friend  that gave me some tips and to Aiesec office in Uberlândia, I began the struggle: apply for a passport, find an interesting project, send mails in English, interviews, search for cheap flights, choose hostels, etc etc etc..
It took me two months and 5 kilos.
Leaving home without a return date is terrible. I left my family without any idea about when I was going to meet them again. Entering the boarding area in the airport, looking back and seeing parents, siblings and friends turning their backs and walking back home without you is freakly painful and surreal. I'm glad that I was with a jewel to reassure me!

Madrid Barajas Terminal 4 - I did not know the city,
I got too scared after seeing the size of the airport
After 5 days in Rio, bye bye Brazil, it is the time to go to Europe!

Route: Rio Galeão - Madrid Barajas - Paris Orly

As Paris deserves a chapter for itself, so, that's all for now, folks!
