One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- A few years ago I tried wwoofing! A great experience indeed!
I left with a friend, for two weeks, and we worked in a farm in England in exchange for accommodation and food, I met interesting and charming people who taught me a lot of new things.

-my Erasmus in Lisbon. A beautiful city where I met great people and learned a new language.

-I visited the Iguaçu Falls in Brasil, one great unbelievable experience.

-A 20h long bus trip: From Buenos Aires to Porto Alegre, a ride through the northern Argentinian green fields.
