Month 6: Yes, I Still Exist
<p>I’ve experienced so much growth (my hair is now shoulder length) and have learned so much about the world. In the past 6 months, I can confidently say that I speak Spanish and that I only sound a little idiotic when I speak Portuguese (i’m hoping to get better in the next couple of months). I know how to dance Salsa and am learning how to dance Forró, a dance from the Northeast of Brazil. I have worked at a hostel and got a taste of what it’s like to work in the hospitality industry…something completely different from what I was doing before. I have seen amazing sunsets in amazing places with amazing people. I have traded in my completely monotone wardrobe (thanks San Francisco) for a wardrobe full of bright colours and floral prints. I feel happy in my skin and my body and wear whatever the hell I feel like wearing. I have discovered my passion for the card game, Cambio. I always knew this but I truly realize how connected everyone in the world is, regardless of the borders that have been arbitrarily drawn for us by rich white men. </p>
