Vou sempre estar aprendendo...

I have learned that sometimes friendship can break through a language barrier.

I have learned that deep down a good portion of people want to travel, but don't think that they have enough money to do so. But I have also learned that traveling does not have to be expensive. There is a way to be frugal, but also enjoy yourself.

I have learned that Brazilians have an innate gene that I am missing that enables them to move their hips and legs to the beat of any musical style.

I have learned that I can survive on purely rice, beans and fruits.

I have learned that for Brazilians soccer isn't just for fun, it's a part of life.

I have learned how to sleep without any sheets and to never complain about the heat in New York ever again.



I have learned that there is something that attracts people to Americans, that for some reason makes them fascinated and eager to learn more (I have yet to determine what exactly it is).

I have learned that people are generally good and that first impressions can often be deceiving.

I have learned more about English grammar than I ever thought possible.

I have learned that teaching has its pros and cons, but it is definitely something I want to continue to do, even if not as a profession.



I have learned that warm milk and cold showers aren't the end of the world.

I have learned to take risks and put myself in uncomfortable situations, because the risk of never taking a chance is worse than the outcome could possibly be.

I have learned it's better to spend more time in fewer places than to see more places in less time.
