the twentysomething year old

What makes life so interesting are the risks you take and the people you meet. I've lived the majority of my life fearing the consequences of risks. Well, that's what the twenties are for! I am going to write about my trials and tribulations of being a twentysomething year old in this big world, trying to figure it all out. It's going to be a topsy turvy ride, but that's what being in your twenties is all about.

Costa da Lagoa

This past weekend was pretty tranquila! On Friday, I went to Floripa Shopping with Michel and Natalie and we ate Chinese food!!! Yeah, it was my first Chinese meal in Brasil! It wasn't too bad, but it did leave me craving for my mom's food! On Saturday, I was invited to Claúdia's house to have mandioca. It's kind of like a potato, but not...and the way she made it was like a puree...it was good. Solomon (from Ghana) brought this spicy sauce which was so delicious with the mandioca. On Sunday, I did my first hike in Floripa! (first legit hike that is...I mean I also hiked barefoot nearby praia joaquina--painful!) I went with Kine (from Norway) and Sarah (from Canada) and we hiked nearby the coast of Lagoa...and it was so muddy. I fell (of course I would fall...) and I found a bug in my sandwich. but it was all so natural and beautiful. It was so worth it. I thought a lot about life--making mistakes--whether mistakes exist or not; making wrong decisions and etc. But also, I was just concentrating a lot on trying not to fall.






Muddy shoes!!

    I also wonder if I make mistakes or make the wrong decisions..... :) But then i think, we won't find an answer to that question for a long time and we will get old eventually haha. so all we can do is to try hard not to fall, and keep hiking!!!! :)
