I had two international experiences. The first one, I’ve lived a period in France, where I studied part of my University credits and did an internship. I’m speechless to describe how much knowledge and maturity I’ve acquired. Did bosom buddies and had the greatest adventure of my life, when I waited five hours on the road for a ride from Lyon to Paris. (Persistence is the path to success!) It was amazing, everything went well and I even saved money! The second experience was to face winter of -27oC of Canada!
