Make a toast !

I like try new drinks. In Canada, I tried some new drinks.
But more of try, I like to make a toast looking into the eyes of the another person.

In Canada I did many "cheers" with people of differents countries.
This video is a "little" example of that.

Some of my friends in Canada making a toast :

Homestay vs Rent an apartment.

When I went to Canada, I arrived in a Homestay (Family's House). But after 1 month, I decided to move to a shared house. I prefered a place more independent, where you can do anything you want (for example, in my homestay I couldn't listen music loud after 10 pm, because 2 childrens were living there). So, it was more confortable for me. Ok, like in a homestay, in a shared house you should make rules with the other people that live there. For example, if we wanted to do a party, we asked before to the other persons. And fortunately, in the most of the times, everybody wanted to do a party too, jaja (of course, we are young =p ).

I moved to an apartment with my chilean friend (Marce). When the owner said "apartment", I thought it was a building. But not. Apartment was a house with 2 floors and 1 basement. The first floor and the basement we share with one Turkey girl, and after 1 month, with one Mexican girl too. And in the second floor were living 2 brazilians. It was really nice live with them.

Is true. Some people prefer live in a homestay and some people prefer live in an apartment. I think this depend of many factors. First, you can't choose the homestay you want to go. Is lucky. I talked to many persons in Canada, and some families were very nice, and some were terrible. For me, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't very organized in terms, for example, the meals. For breakfast and lunch, you should make a sandwich with something you can find inside the fridge. But sometimes I couldn't find anything. And I dont like eat sandwich every day for lunch =/ . In Chile, the most important meal is the lunch, but in Canada not: is the dinner. So, many times I had to buy things to eat outside home, and of course, I spent a lot of money in that. That was one of the reasons because I choose to move to an apartment: save money and the possibility to cook anything you want (well, I'm not good "chef", but I had to learn).

The other thing is the freedom. In homestay you should follow many rules. Of course in the "shared house" you have to put rules too. But its different. Everybody is your same (or similar) age. You have more similar interests. And I'm not talking just with partys. Actually, we didn't do A LOOOT of partys. But you feel more like "in home", not like your are a "guest". I don't know. I think, everything depend of "what do you want". For me, for sure, it was more comfortable live in an apartment. I really recommend.

DOG LOST =S

This is a "tragicomic" history.

The day that I arrived in my cousin's home, I "met his dog" : an adorable and small dog. I like animals, so I didn't have problems with it. We played together and ran inside the house. I was happy to have for awhile a pet... Happy until I lost it =s

The problem was this: My cousin had to pick up his wife. So I stayed alone with the dog some hours. In one moment I opened the door to look the garden, and PUF, the dog ran out away.. 

FUCK! And now, what I will do? In the beginning I thought it will be easy catch it, but I was wrong. The dog ran REALLY FAST! When you was almost catching it, she ran again. Oh shit! I just arrived and I already lost a dog =S ... Fortunately, all the neighbour helped me. One old girl ran with me trying to catch it. And after 40 minutes going right and going left, we caught it !!

Uff, the day after that, all my muscles pained me.

Before the escape !

Things you have to DO (3) : Canoe !

When I was in my last week in Canada, I decide go to visit my cousin in Ottawa. I didnt met him before. I don't know ALL my family. He is older than me, like an uncle. Actually, he is one year younger than my mom =p . But it was a good decision go to met him. He is nice.

He live in Ottawa since he was studying in the University (like 30 years ago). He decided to escape the political problems that they had at that time. He got married with one canadian girl, and together, they had 2 sons (I couldnt meet them because they dont live in Ottawa).

Guillermo (my cousin), show me one amazing part of Canada: do canoe. It was perfect. I felt like the movie "Into the wild" . I would like go with friends, camp near the lake, and relax. But, despite do canoe just for the day, it was a such good experience.

I really recomend try to do something like that. I did in Ottawa, in Gatineau Park, but I know that near Toronto, there are a place to do it : Alconquin Park . My school, Ilac, had in the schedule go there, but I didn't do for save money. But if you can, DO IT !

WE HAD A PERFECT DAY TO DO IT

The Beer Store

Beer Store! The name say everything: its a place where you can find differents types of beer. 

In Canada is really common see this store.  Okey, its not the same amount of stores like with Mc Donalds, Tim Hortons, Starbucks & Pizza Pizza (3 blocks and you can see at least one of these stores) , but if I start to think, I saw 15 or more in all Canada.

Is a different system. When you enter, is like to enter to a fridge. Its really cold. You can see differents packs of beers of differents brands. So, you can take one of those, and then go to pay. Fast & Simple. And its not expensive. For example, if you buy one pack of 12 bottles, you will pay like US$20 . Its a good price for Canada.

In addition, another thing that I like, its with the recycle. After the party, you can go with your empty bottles and sell . They not pay too much (c$10 per bottle) but if you save a good amount, its not bad to save a little money for the next purchase. And its good to the environment too ;) 

I came home...

I'm in Chile. I'm in home. And fortunately, I'm feel like in home.

Days before that I go back, I was scared. For everything. I thought: "Everything will be new: new house, without car, I have to find a job, a new member in the family is coming, blabla" ... I was really scared. But I arrived and I feel like I never went to Canada. I saw my family and it was like I had seen yesterday. The same with my friends. I knew my new house, and it was my home from always. 

Just yesterday, talking with my best friend, I realized WHY I'm feeling like that. Everything new is not bad. Because that, I'm feel good. I didn't returned to my old life. And I'm not saying that before go Canada, I didn't like my life, but it's good "refresh" your life, you know? The "monotony" is boring. I like the changes. I like try new things. And if I went back to my old life, I would have felt like I was backing. 

But NOT, I'm going forward. Step by step. Now I'm looking the positive side. Everything new, anything, is GOOD. Good for you ! The problem is when you are boring of the new thing. But why happens that? Because is not more NEW. And in this moment you have to try to do something different. 

If you are always taking the same path, why not try with one new path? Just that, and it will be different ;) 

Welcome my friend...

I was smiling before meeting her. 

I was exciting. 

She is like my sister, or more than that. I don't now how to describe. 

She was in Europe, me in Canada.

4 month without seeing each other.

The best part of the Farewell? The reunions !

CHIKA LOCA & ME

I love the connectivity...

Of course I miss Toronto.

I miss the transport. Just show the card and go inside the bus or subway.
I miss the "24 hours women" wishing me a good day.
I miss look to a handsome contructor on the street (or the driver, mechanic, plumbler, hahaha)
I miss Thursday's Night in Madison Pub.
I miss the matutine song of one of my roomates.
I miss the voice in the subway saying "the next station is Spadina, Spadina station"
I miss to eat creppes with nutella and banana in Ossgoode.
I miss going to buy in Bluenotes, H&M and Forever XX1.
I miss go fast by one part of the electric stairs.
I miss just have the possibility to go to Toronto Island.
I miss the Beer Store.
I miss to be impressed everytime i saw the CN Tower.

But more than anything, I miss my Toronto's Friends.

However, I'm happy to be connect with them by social networks: Skype, Facebook, Whatsapp.. Thanks that, I'm not feel far. I feel like I'm with them =)

TALKING WITH MY CRAZY NAYARITA BY SKYPE AT 2:30 AM

And the day to say goodbye arrived ! =(

It's so rare! I wasn't prepare yet...
I had a date to go Toronto, and a date to go back home... I couldn't do nothing

Anyway, I'm LUCKY! I'm lucky to have known good friends.. SUCH GOOD FRIENDS !! They helped me a lot! In special, my last day in Toronto. From do my suitcases, carry my bags, help me at the airport and be with me until the last moment.. I dont know what I would have done, without them!

NADIA, NAYARA, ANE & LUISA WITH MY SUITCASES

I think I was in shock..

It's so sad to say bye to the people you wanna see more. Because, ok, I know (and hope) I will see some of them after.. But the problem is I will not see them when I want.. What happens if in 5 days more, I wanna go out with one of them? I CAN'T! And this is the reason to I'm frustrate. I can't delete the last image in the airport! Everyone crying. It was so sad! And every moment that I remembered that, one tear appeared. But okey, Who said that cry it's bad? It's not. Cry it's just the result of we have good NEW friendships.

Now I hope the time help me to be patience. I just need that !

I won really good friends, and this is better than any english's course.

Everything happens for one reason. And like 1 friend say, I think we didn't came here to learn english. That was just a detail. We came here to meet good friends, and learn how we will do to mantain the relation.

Places you have to know (4) : Niagara Falls !

Ohh Amazing place ! 

It's like a little city where you can feel you are in a movie (I feel like that). Differents fancy stores where you can be a child. I just regret hadn't gone more time, because there are maaaaany places you can go, and maaaaaaany thing you can do.... And if you like take photographs, uffff, you MUST to go !!

Anyway, more than the city and the stores, the important part (like the name say) are the falls! And are amazing! So big! If you are there, you can go near of the falls taking a boat! In the place, the people will give you a blue waterproof coat and you will be like a SMURF, but its funny. Its a such good experience! The bad part its you have to do a BIG LINE and wait like 1 or 2 hours. And if is hot, its terrible (I HATE wait too much!) But I think it's worth ;) It's a unique experience, so you should do it.

My recommendation is: If you can, go by yourself and sleep, at least, one night there. I think is better because you can enjoy all the place with more calm and not running like I had to do. 

Things that really like of Canada...

- Transport . Much much better than the transport in my country. I always heard canadian people complaining about the Transport. Okey, sometimes there are problems. But the organization here is really good. Is very easy use the subway and the bus here. If you see the map, after some time, you can find the way to go anywhere !

- Clothes . I really like the style and the prices =) Some clothes is the same price than Chile, but the most of the "brand clothes" is cheaper. And is different too.

- People . So kind. If you are lost, the people is really kind trying to help you. Also, I like the diversity of people you can meet here. Toronto is a cosmopolitan country so you can find many people from different countries. Different countries = Different languages = Different cultures. Awesome ! =)

- Activities. You cant be boring here ! Specially if is summer. Every weekend happend one festival or one interesting thing to do. One recommendation : See the website http://www.toronto.com/ . Here you can find all the activities and events in Toronto ;)

Everything happens for a reason...

TOTALLY TRUE 

Friends (4): Crazy Girl !

After one month to meet my good friend Jussara, she introduce me with other brazilian girl: Nayara (but I prefer call her "Crazy Nayarita" ). That day, we went to Madison at night (my favourite pub). When I arrived there, I was already drunk. Well, I wasnt on the floor, but I was a little bit drunk. For this reason, I remembered that we talked, but I dont know what. I just remember that I repeated like "10 times" .. WHY NOT?? hahaha. And I think "thanks to that phrase" everything started...

From this day we started to "hang out" constantly. All along, she made me think hard, but I liked it. We have a similar way to see the life, and I think this thing made the "good conexion" that we have now. Actually, thanks to this girl, Im writting here in my blog. I had the idea to do it before came here, but she reminded me.

Thanks 4 everything crazy girl! 

You know that you are my angel. I loved to spend my last days in Canada with you! And I know, wherever you will be "in physical", you are with me "in soul".

Feelings...changes

I said before came here. I was scared. 

Scared to miss to much. Scared to cant be talk very good with other people. Scared to start to live a "new life" in a different country. Scared to live by myself, without all the commoditties I have in my home. I was really scared...

But now I realised that I'm worst. When I came here, I had never thought that I will do reals conexions with people that dont live in my country. And are feelings so strong, that heart just to think that you will not share with them anytime you want. 

Because the time go fast, and you have to say "goodbye". But I dont wanna say "goodbye", I wanna say "see you soon". The problem is I know this "see you soon" is not "so soon" that I want. And in this moment I cry... And I start to be scared again...

But is not just that. Im scared too of start to live "the rutine life". Go out of "the bubble" where I am now and the freedom with I am living. But, sometimes I am confused. Which is the real bubble? Maybe the bubble is not now. Maybe the bubble is my life in Chile, and because now Im outside of this bubble, I dont wanna come back. Can be, not? Who knows? You need "guts" to "go out" again. Without fears.. But Im tied to the money. Fucking money! The mosts of my wishes depends of the money. And for this reason I know I have to work... I have to start to live the rutine life, wanting to break it some day.. I just hope that day dont be so far of me..

Strenght. Heart. Mind !

Lets go! Everything can be possibble if you want.. Slowly, but you can.. I just need to be patience !

Friends (3) : Farewells

Fucking Farewells !

When I came here, I had never thought to do strong relations, but I did.

And the time start to go faster. The day pass and your head start to think more than usual.

I made friends. Good friends. How can I do to see them if they dont live in the same country? Is possible to mantain a distance friendship ?? I think is difficult, but its possible.. 

And the first important farewell came, and since this day Im more thoughtful than before...

THE BEGINNING OF OUR FRIENDSHIP

She is Jussara, from Brazil. Amazing girl. I met her in my last classmates. Since the first day I heard her, I though "I wanna be her friend". I dont know why, but sometimes you have a conexion with people, and you wanna know more about their lifes. We laugh A LOT in our table in Vicki's class and we had many good conversations.

We spent time together just 2 month, but here, in this little bubble, the time goes slowly than the real life. I miss her, but Im sure I will see again. We have deals together, so know we have to do it. And I really believe in one quote "If we want, we can" . 

Friends (2) : Brazil and me...

I LOVE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE !

When I went to Brazil, I realized: I like brazilian men. But here, I could know the other size. The friendship with brazilian girls. Here, the most of my close friends are brazilian, and I really like them. They are crazy, and as I always say "I like crazy people" =). But sometimes I think..Maybe I was brazilian in my past. Who know?

I REALLY LIKE THIS PICTURE

CAROL & ANE (From Salvador), JUSSARA & NAYARA (From Sao Paulo)

I love all this girls ! =)

Things you have to DO (2) : Go to a concert

I really LOVE go to concerts.

Sometimes, when I haven`t gone to a concert in many time, I feel the necessity to go. I NEED IT.

The music completes me.

Before came here, I search in Internet which groups/bands will came to Toronto to play, and I found good ones. I couldn't go to every concert that I would liked go, but I went to some concerts..

First, LMFAO. I was so excited when I knew that they will came. Unfortunately, just one went to sing (the other one, was sick) but was the guy I liked. Goods songs and many ZEBRA in the stage! It was really nice! I don´t know in how many time they will go to Chile, so it was a good opportunity too see them in live.

Then I have the opportunity to go to see J.LO . Im no so fan of her, but I liked her music and I thought the staging it will be good... And it was REALLY good ! Until now, I think this concert is in my top 3 of concerts (Im not sure what position). She sing and dance incredible!! The staging it was perfect! And she is really nice with the public (is not so diva like others singers). The same day, Enrique Iglesias played too, but I dont like him. I think he dont sing very well. All the womans scream for him, but its because he pretend be "so sexy" and for me, its just act. And I was impact, because he close the performances, no J.LO..But, okay...

Then, was the COLDPLAY's turn. There really wasn´t in my plan. I like their music, but I´m not fan (I think, now, after see them, Im more fan). The performance was really nice! The scenery was with a mix of strong and fluor colours. And the singer jumped and run for the stage like a kid. I really enjoyed. And he sing fantastic. His voice is amazing. Also, something I really like was the bracelets that the production give us when we entered. We didnt know, but the bracelets had a light inside and in some songs, the lights started to flicker. The production controlled the lights, no us. I think this was the best! You can see all the public with differents colours. It was really awesome !!

Also, I had the opportunitty to see FREE music in the "Much Music Video Awards" with artists like Katy Perry, Justin Biever, Kelly Clarkson and more.. I couldnt see very good, because it was really crowded ( free things = many people) but luckily, I could listen good live music =)

So, if you enjoy the "live music" like me, Toronto have many offers to give you, FOR SURE! ;)

Places you have to know (3) : Kensington Market

This place, near China Town, is different.
When I went for first time I didnt know what I will find, but I liked so much! Is just a couple of streets, but here you can find many differents stores, principally vintage stores. The design and style are really nice. Is very different. So, if you like this type of clothes, or you like to have a unique Style,  you MUST to go.

If is summer, and the day is hot (like the most of days in summer in Canada), you can go to one of all the restaurants that are there, and enjoy drinking one pitcher of Sangria or Beer, or anything you want (I think i drank both =p ). Here, you can find many restaurants from differents countries. Actually, one is chilean, but i have to tell that is not "so chilean" (I saw the menu and I didnt like).

In addition, sometimes there are events here. I went to one of these and it was very nice! Many musicians playing on the streets without expects of anythings.. Differents styles, arts, performances, and in resume, street art! I love when the people expresses themselves ! 

If you like take pictures, GO there ! You can do a good job ;)

Types of Laugh

I didnt realize before, but depending of the country, when you talk with someone by Facebook or another social network, you can see that the laugh, is not writting in the same way.. 

Examples:

I use this types of laugh:

jaja --> its like a smile

hahahaha --> more "haha", more funny

wuahahahaha --> extremely funny . (with sounds)

New laugh:
kkkkkkk --> This is my favourite =) ...My imitation: ca ca ca ca ca (like Calamardo's laughing)
huahuahuahua
rsrsrsrsrsrsrs
rs --> like smile

And more...
jajajaja
hehehehe
hihihihihi

CA CA CA CA CA (= kkkkk) ...XD

Places you have to know (2) : CN Tower

Toronto is Known for this place. 

At the highest point, this tower is 533 meters. If you go there you can see all the city. Is really nice! I went during the day, but I can imagine that in the night the view is better!

There are differents floors that you can see the city. In one of the floors, you can see the city by the window. In other, through some bars. And in one part exist a "glass floor". The space its no so big, but youu can see yours feets, and in the same time, look the downsview. Is amazing. Im afraid of highs, but I could go and keep calm.

I couldnt for time, but I think the better time to go upstair is around 6 pm. You can see the city with the sun, and then, you can wait to see the sunset. =)

My 2nd Classmates

When I thought that "I will not found another good teacher like Carol in Ilac" I met Vicki, my second teacher. She is reaaaally good! I didnt know, but she have a "waiting list" to enter her class, and after some weeks I understand why. She makes the classes fun. Actually, she is really funny ! Always Vicki said stories about her life. Sometimes it was true, and sometimes it was lie (Yes, I think she is a good actrees too!) But always GOOD STORIES. So, in the same time, you can have a good time and learn. This is the perfect way to teach. For this reason, I really enjoyed going to her class.

VICKI'S CLASS 1ST MONTH

In addittion, I met good persons here. Good friends. I think, that's another reason to enjoy going to class: The People ! Of course sometimes the class is no so good. Maybe the topic, maybe the grammar, but if you can see your friends there, it doesnt matter. Just with that, your day can be good =)

Friends (1) : My First Partner here

I said before, but I came here with other friend from chile (she arrived before than me, but we hang out together in the most of the times). I know, without her, everything would have been more difficult for me.

But a little time before arrived in Toronto, I met another friend: Nadia.

Time before arrive in Toronto, I posted in Facebook searching friends to go different concerts, and she answered me . Inmediatley we did good relation. When I arrived here, marce and me went to one party. In this party, Nadia recognize me, and after this day, we went out to walk for the city…

The time past and now we are very near friends. This type of friend when you can talk anything you want…She is from Peru, so we are not sooo far in the world. But live in differents countries and have the same relation, its difficult. I know it will be hard for us, but I hope everything continue good..We have work to do. The modernity life and facebook can permit maintain relations..So, i hope this friendship (like others I did and I will talk after) will grow up and not decline.

¡GRACIAS POR TODOS LAS CONVERSACIONES Y BUENOS MOMENTOS QUE PASAMOS PERUANITA QUERIDA!

TE EXTRAÑARÉ

Prices and Tips

Some people may find cheap Canada. Some people may find expensive. For me, depend of what we are talking about. And of course, everything will depend of where are you from. In my case, I have to compare with my country, Chile.

Talking about clothes, I think Canada is cheaper. Some things you can find for the same price. But if we talk about brand clothes, the price is 30% cheaper (and sometimes, more)

Buuuut, if you compare things like: transportation, drinks (alcohol), food, beauty... OMG the prices are really expensive for me... For example, in Chile one ice cream can cost 1-2 dollars. In canada the prices are from 3....and you have to add the taxes in the end..

BILL IN MC DONALDS

TAXES!!...This is the worst part. You can see the total price just when you pay. In the mosts of places (for no say, ALL places) you see the price without taxes, so many times you can be confused because you think the think is cheaper, but its not =/

Other thing you have to know is about TIPS. In Chile the system is similar. If you go to a restaurant, we add a 10% of the bill for tips... Is not mandatory, but is what you usually done.

Here is a little more: 15%. But there are a different. If you go a restaurant with many people, the tip is includde in the end of the bill. So, you dont have the option to pay less.. I learn this just 2 month after arrive in Canada.. And I think is good to know before ;)

Things you have to DO (1) : Go to see a hockey game

The first time that someone told me: Do you wanna go to see a Hockey Game? I though...Mmmm, I dont know anything about hockey...maybe it will be boring...But OMG! I was wrong...

It was a such good game !!!

Before the game started

The thing is that: You go thinking that "its just a game", but its not. Between the times, a lot of activities happened. The people dance, sing, play, and of course SCREAM! Its really exciting ! I enjoyed too much! 

If you go there, you will notice why the canadians are so fan of the Hockey!

And, of course, if you go, you will have to scream " LETS GO MARLIES " and move the "little towel".

 Free Memory =)

Places you have to know (1) : HarbourFront !

Canada have many beautiful places that you have to know, but one particular place that I really like is HarbourFront.

The view is amazing. So, you can go and relax on the grass, read a book, talk with friends, or anything you want, looking the beautiful lake Ontario.

Also, this place have many activities all year: free concerts, events, food and more... So, if you are boring, you can go there and discover "what´s going on". Or, something easier, see this website: harbourfrontcentre.com/whatson/

MARCE AND ME AT THE HARBOURFRONT

In this place, you can take a Ferry to go to Toronto Island, another good place for go and relax, but I will talk about this place in a different post ;)

ILAC and My First Class

Before came here, I had different options to choose an school to learn English. One was cheaper, and the other was more expensive. I choosed ILAC, with an intermediate price because when I saw the Brochure, I saw that they do many activities and I noticed the people is very friendly (and is true). 

I arrived in Toronto one Friday, but I started my class on Monday. 

This day was the test day. With this test you can know in what level you start to study English. And I started in Intermediate Level.

I cant remember all my feelings on the first day. I think I was a little afraid for to know my classmates and my teacher.. Im shy, but i tried to made conversations with the people there.. 

In the class it was people from Japan, Korea, China, Brazil, Colombia, Eslovaquia and Saudi Arabia. Many different cultures, languages, experiences..

I loved my teacher. She's the same age than me, 24, but she can do something than for me is very difficult: teach! She was so kind. The classes were very funny, with many different activities. 

Unfortunately, she changed her job, and I hadnt seen since the last lunch we had together.

But I have nothing bad to say. I really enjoyed my month with her and my classmates. 

MY FIRST CLASS IN INTERMEDIATE

My First Day

After travel more than 20 hours (because my flight had 2 conexions) i arrived in Toronto.

I was so tired and a little nervious for to know my homestay. But in the same time, i was excited.

When I arrived in the house, Michelle, the owner, explained to me all the rules of the house.

One of the things I found rare, was the rule of "remove your shoes" before enter to the house.

I had never done this in my house. I remove my shoes just when i go to my room. But it was okey for me. And time later, I noticed that most of the houses had the same rule.

After this, I took a long NAP. I needed it!

When I woke up, I went to met with my friend from Chile: Marce. She came here 1 month before than me. So I already knew: "I will not be alone here". I think because of that, I never felt desperate on my first day.

But before to see Marce, i had to go to buy the TOKENS to use the transportation (Bus and Subway)

Here, in Canada, there is an organized way to use the transports. You can buy:

- Tokens --> Like coins (see the picture) to use only one time.

- Weekly Pass --> You can use the Subway and Bus from Monday to Sunday whenever you want.

- Montlhy Pass --> You can use the Subway and Bus all month whenever you want.

And because I arrived on Friday, my cheaper option was buy Tokens ;)

MY KEY, TOKENS, AND CANADIAN MONEY

Anyway, as I was saying... I met with Marce. I hadnt' seen since 1 month. It was good =) We walked by Yonge Street to Dundas Square. I was so happy and excited. I loved the city.

We went to Eaton Center (a known mall) to do a contract with a telephone company. I needed to put internet to my iPhone (yes, I'm a little addicted, i know) . So, just after put Internet to my cellphone, I felt completed. =)

Marce told me the plan for the nigh: Go to Mana (latin place) .

And I went. I was tired, but I went.

I met her friends. Nice people. We drank Beers, Tequila and Rum ... And yes, in the end of the night, i was drunk jaja, but it was good =)

This story, just beginning...

My feelings before came here

I was afraid. Really afraid. In many aspects...

First, with the travel by airplane and all the thing I had to do in the airport.

I hate travel by airplane.I know that is easier to be in an car accident than in an airplane accident. But I don't like. I'm afraid.

Also, I had never traveled alone. It was my first time. And my english was very basic.

"¿What will I say in the airport?" "¿How can I do with the time to do the conexions? ¿Is enough time?" "I have conexions, so ¿What happen with my suitcases?" ....blablabla...Of course, many questions more.. Stupid questions, stupid fears.

But everything was good. I had any problems. It was just fear.

In another aspect, I was scared to miss too much. My friends, my family, my things.

It's my first time travelling more than 2 weeks without my parents, without friends..

In many times, I thought: "¿Can I do it?"

And now I can say: YES, I COULD. And you too.

Came here it was one of my goals. And I did. And I would like do it again.

Believe in yourself. No More.

Introduce Yourself

Hi! I'm Daniela. But I prefer when people call me "Dani".

I'm from Chile. So, I speak Spanish.

I'm 23 years old. Young, I know.

In March of this year I finished my career. Yes, I have a Degree in Business with a Master in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. But I dont' have job (yet) . I have to find one when I come back to Chile.

I love the music. I love take pictures. I love chocolate. And I love when the people make me laugh.

Now, I'm studying English in Canada. Is important for my future.

But, living here, I realised that came here was a secondary thing.

I came here to learn. About my life, about your life. I came to find myself. 

I came to open my mind, my eyes.

I came to know new persons , new cultures , new languages . New Friends.

Until now, this experience has been incredible.

I regret haven't started to write from the beginning about my experience here.
But I will write now as if it were yesterday.
I will write here about My Life in Canada, in Toronto.

I LOVE YOU CANADA

PS. I WILL CHANGE THE DATES TO THE DATES THE THINGS HAPPENED
