Living Abroad

l don’t remember if -at first- my decision was to come and live in the Big City. What I really know is that since I have been come in New York for the first time I had a wierd feeling that I belong here. Or maybe it was just love at first side. A little scary and a lot of excitement- these are feelings which everyone moving abroad has been going through. Why scary? Well, because I left back a lifetsyle that I was used to: my job, my career, my car, my friends and the most important thing – my loved ones/ my family. And why exciting? Because it is always exciting when you are starting a new life (from scratch) and little by little you actually are doing it! Even with baby steps , without friends or connections and with no help, surrounded by strangers…only if you don’t want to, you could not make it! Motivation, ambition, and always being focused… with a lot of good vibe and positive attitude – all these were my tips to succeed. I am not saying it is easy because is not! But it is not impossible. If you put yourself together and your mind into it … it’s no way to fail. Now I think I have enough of New York experience (good AND bad) and they say that if you live here for 10 years, you can consider yourself a newyorker…I don’t know if it is true or not. But I am still counting…( I came here for the first time in 2011)…
