One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

You would think it would be something crazy but the moments that leave me dazzled are the simplest. When I was doing el camino de Santiago I was in a small town surrounded by what seemed as a dessert when I finally arrived their I was tired hungry and I was walking along and saw a women. I starting talking to her and noticed her accent it seemed Colombian a bit from the way she pronounced some of the words. The reason why I know this is because I'm Colombian. So I asked her where she was from and she was definitely colombian. We were talking for about 10 minutes and then I said I was leaving to go get food and she said ok but if you are ever here just call me and you have somewhere to stay. So as I was walking away she called me back and said come to my house and I will make you food don't waste your money. I was shocked, even though we are both Colombian I'm still a stranger I looked like a hadn't talking a shower and shaved in days and she seemed so eager to take care of me. I didn't know her just meet her and she wanted to cook for me. That for me is pretty amazing!!

Became part of the first Masters program in Sustainable Automotive Engineering that takes place in 3 different countries in europe.

Lived in china and learned chinese.

No matter were you are in the world if your surrounded with the right people the experience is enjoyed so much more

You will find total strangers that will care for you as if they were your family just be open to others

Don't be afraid to leave your comfort zone the more you think about it the more time will pass and the harder it will become

Give yourself and opportunity to live a dream

Most important have fun and stop for a moment to look at the landscape around you to admire how far you have come
