In the summer of 2011 I took a life changing adventure living in Brazil. Now... thanks to my incredible experience in Brazil, I have continued my adventures, turning this blog into a blog about my travels and what new things life will bring me. Soccer being the main drive in my adventures. Enjoy :)

Moldova: Unstructured Independence

It's that time again. Blog time. Back to writing about the new adventures I am faced with. I am more of a storyteller writer rather than a factual writer, so get ready for many stories. Every time I begin to blog or journal these incredible moments I am experiencing... nothing. All words escape me. I have this beautiful script in my mind of how to articulate the many little things that have touched my heart, but then I can't get that script out on paper. So... while I am in this writers block to what I am usually accustomed to blogging, here is information of what I am doing and my perspective will hopefully come out later. :). 

What I know: Moldova is beautiful... you decide if you agree from these pictures...











The food... is amazing. Granted, I eat everything, but this is all food made from the garden. Natural and resourceful. 

The people.. are more introverted from cultures I have visited, but incredibly gracious people that have been so welcoming to me. My host family is great and vibrant. 




Schedule...
Language classes 8:30 to 12:30 Monday through Saturday. 
Business training 2:00 to 5:00 Monday through Friday (mostly, give or take)
Thursday we all go to the big city and do training sessions as a big group and that is from 8:30 to 6:00. With our transportation being the longest to the big city, it turns out to be a really long day, but great because I get to see everyone from the other groups. 

I am in SED (small economic development) with a group of 16 of us. There are 3 other groups (EE- english, HE- health, COD- community) and we are all separated in different towns. 




During my walk the other day I began analyzing all the intricate details of the structures around me. After contemplating the history of everything around me I came to the conclusion that the broken fences and unpaved paths are refreshing. It made me think of unstructured independence and I decided I am going to live by that. 

Don't hesitate to post questions or comments below and I can answer or comment on anything you all are interested in :). 

I'll leave you with this video and quote... because I can!
