missing motril SO much this time of year. no specific reason, i wasnt even in motril this time last year (i was in norway for christmas!) but just have to express how much i think about my life there. the people. the mediterranean. the time.
sigh.
this year i am living in motril, spain to be a "language and culture assistant" in an elementary school. i am excited to grow as an individual, experience a new culture, have many adventures, travel and meet new people along the way.
About Me
- heidi
- the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. and if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous...
Many go [abroad] for the same reasons we travel: to experience the unfamiliar ... to witness customs that we can hardly imagine ... yet moving abroad is more profound than traveling. It goes beyond curiosity to commitment. If to travel is to be a stone skipping lightly over the water, to move abroad is to stop and allow yourself to sink into an alien world, gulping to breathe a different language. Moving abroad is full immersion in a strange country, being forced to make a new life there, using little more than whatever wit, wisdom, openheartedness, and evenhandedness you carry inside you.
