Do you fit in?

Journal pages – April 22nd – I had a breakdown moment last weekend and I really wanted to share about that with you, guys. Living abroad is the most rewarding thing in life but also the most changeling one. You might be asking why?… Since I moved to the US, my life changed completely and you have […]
How expensive is to study in the US

The question that most people ask me when I was backpacking: How much did you spend on it? Now that I am about to start my studies in the US, the same old question is back… As I have said several times: Some people dream about buying a house (which I hope I can also do it one […]

CHICAGO: my first impressions

Guys, I have been much more on Instagram (for those who do not follow: @danielamatinho) than in here. The main reason: it is much easier to show you in video and photos what I am living right now. Only a few days have passed and I already have so many things to tell you… Get ready because […]
How I was hosted in 30 places for free in 3 years

The other day I was in my bed I could not fall asleep… Something I heard that day got into my head: Be grateful for the people who have helped you and do not seek for gratitude from people you have helped! That sentence was stocked in my head! My mind kept going back to the […]
