Well one day at a time, I guess: Since I have about 16 days until my adventure starts maybe I should start at the beginning.
I grew up in Germany, I lived there until I was about 16 years old with my mum and step dad . Now I have been in the United States since already 4 ½ years. Well at first I lived with my Dad in the United states, for about the first 3 months. That was until this living situation became very complex, difficult and quite the drama. I grew up to become my own young woman, I bought my own car, got my life structured in a unknown country, I have two great jobs and my own apartment that I will be leaving behind as well. And my great friend/ my boyfriend that has been such a support. It has not always been easy and there had been times I wanted to quit, but I did well from becoming homeless to who I am now: A young, classy & independent woman. And I am still seeking to have more faith and become my own best person that I can possible be….
….To my fun plans and adventure. Being in the U.S. and living their ways, I have found a lots of ups and downs. Great things and not so great things. All in all who can say that they moved with nothing and got out so much. I am very happy for this experience. I bet you are asking yourself: Why is she moving? Well , Utah is a very pretty place. I would visit and love it every time I’d come again. But, there is just not so much diversity. And I really would also like to be closer to family. (US vs. Spain- Spain is definitely closer to Germany). So- why am I not moving back to Germany. Well I love the experience of moving. There is nothing greater then new foods, new people, new language (you speak three languages wooow) anyways. So many opportunities to learn, so many great things to gain. Alright, well my goal for this year of 2011 was definitely to start school/college. I just really, really wanted to have a more fun way to experience it. And don’t ask me how but: Spain, Barcelona. I found myself an Au pair Family there. The mum is German, the dad is Spaniard, the girls are cute 10 y and 12 y old. Barcelona is known to be the “New York” of Europe. So I am excited. And hopefully I will be excepted at the Utah state University, then everything will be perfect. ( I am planning on taking online classes through them)
Now my daily routine is: Work, Work, pack and lots of errands before I leave. And of course not to forget all the goodbyes. But I will tell you more about this later.
This is just the start, there is more to come, I am excited to let you join me on this experience to Spain. Time limit to how long I will be there. Not sure :o)
(…..Stay tuned)
