everyday life

As I started this year I thought it was about learning the language and the culture. Yes of course it is about these things but first of all it's about learning something about myself. I'm here for 2 1/2 months now and I already learned a lot about myself. I can find so much peace in simple actions and thinking is so much easier without the noise of my Hometown, without getting distracted by everything that happens there.
I'm sorry that I can't tell you any intersting travellers stories yet. I arrived in the everyday life. And it feels good.. I mean I miss my family and my country so much, it hurts, but I have normal "teenager" problems here, gives me the feeling of being at home.

you will hear from me soon. If you like you can check out my tumblr.

tortugas!

I spent my day with my hostmother and my hostsister at a kind of park with places to make some BBQ or go swimming, I'm not shure how to call this place. However, I found a little turtle in a plastic cup, near on of the little sidewalks, so we decided to take her with us. On the plastic cup was the name Roy written, so we decided to name the turtle Roy. Now roy is in a little kind of aquarium next to me and listens to my tiping. I also saw my first Colibri today, what wonderful animals!
