What I like about EVS, is that you start to figure out more, than when you are travelling in a country. To travel around this world, is like seeing yourself in a movie with different backgrounds. To live abroad is looking at you and see all the pieces of your personality and behaviour separately. It is like you put every piece of you under a new microscope.
It makes you wonder how the pieces of you will react on this different microscope. The thing is, that it does not react, the pieces will not change, only your point of view. Like the cold, it is not about the degree, it is about how cold it feels:). I always thought in degrees till now. When somebody says: it is cold. I will not ask: how cold, but what do I need to wear. Another thing is, what was your quality in Guatemala, will be research by you in Portugal or any country again. It is refreshing (special the cold) for your personality and all your habits this microscope.
