And the UK is England, Scotland, Northen Ireland and Wales

Funny, because I didnt know which countries constitutes UK until I've moved there, ok, ok never I was very good in geography, but the old expression : you live and you learn, it was what happened to me when I moved to England; anyway always when you moved to a new country is a big life lesson, I really dont complain about my experiences living in other countries, it always really motivate me to look the world around you deep inside, the felling of these experiences I never had even closer in Brazil, I can say from my experiences, it can become something addicted, Im back Brazil after 10 years out here, Brazil is a new country for me, but I still know it, used to the country manners etc. I have this spirit of explorer, discover new thing.
When I went to England nobody was really support me to go there, this was bad, I was on my own, in some ways, this helped me to go other countries after and gave me some level of independence, what I dont complain!
Everything was ok in Southampton, but after a few months my personal crisis started, I was missing a social life, I just had my ex boyfriend, good enough, but I needed to have my own life, ok I was studying, had my colleagues, but study with them doesnt mean they gonna be your friends, ah another aspect about there, European people, and specially British people they can be quite closed, very different from Brazil, the Latin culture, it was another shock for me, never I could imagine they were so different in this aspect.

Lost in this world

Here I'm beginning again this blog. Well it is about my life living in 3 different countries around the world.

First one - England - UK. I lived there 3 years, doing my Masters Degree in Media and Arts.

Second one - Netherlands also knowed by Holland. I lived there for 3 years, trying life.

Third one - China. Lived there for 4 years, working.

I have a flickr website that I can say it is my visual diary, it is interesting you check out when you read the blog can explain visually a lot about Im writing here.

These blog is to explaining for me and for you this time in my life = 10 years, outside my home country. Why I spend 10 years living outside Brazil?

Im sure for many different reasons, the first one is I'm utterly curious about this world and the variety of different cultures and different views about life.

For me make sense start my steps from the last ones to the first ones, does it make sense for you? I hope so

Last last step... I was living and work in China and I decided to have holidays, my brother was living in Australia, Melbourne and why not? Was summer, beaches, sounded so perfect to me!!

I went there to find out I have Multiple Sclerosis - MS, by the time I never heard about this disease, but the doctors at the hospital in Australia said strongly ; ' don't go back to China' and I suggested Brazil and they said 'Perfect'.

And 'Go back home' it is what I did, and here I'm now, not very happy by the way, but this is another story.
