International thoughts

It is funny since I put up histats, I've realize how great a tool a blog can be!
On my statistics, this blog is seen everywhere - probably by mistake, of course -

Anyhow, it is lovely to be somewhat international ...
it gives me back the new yorker feeling I've felt once living in the big apple some six, seve years ago.
The idea that I could mix with all nationalities and actually belong somewhere was such an overwhelming feeling that it ketp me there for six years - not that I didn't miss Brazil and my family - but the power I've gained from reinventing myself stayed with me to a point where now I can admit - I can re-create myself no matter where: it is not a question of where I live, but a matter of what I want to be. True, it took a while for all this to settle in my head (and soul) - still, living abroad and in New York City was one of the best thing I could give myself. And, coming back was the second one for I've regreted the way I left, but not the whys.
I am now back in Brasilia for four years and half. Time flies, yes. But I don´t see myself moving abroad anymore...well, unless an excpetional opportunity of love and fame crosses my path. Though I´d love to travel more and more to weird places in the world and hopefully I will be able to soon.
Anyway, moral of the story is - the travel bug bit me long time ago, its poison runs in my veins, but so far, I haven´t died of it. Better still, I´ve been ablte to stay still in my hometown, have a calm, nice life and dream about great great trips around the world in this lifetime.

(thanks to all out of Brazil readers - or accidental readers, I should say...hopefully you guys can read at least this one post, huh?)
