My
adventure began on the 12th of October 2017 when I landed in Fort Lauderdale.
The nervous, exciting feeling kept me awake even though I was so tired after
the long flight. From that moment, my life changed. I've always had
family, friends and loved ones surrounding me. In that moment I realized this
is my time, from this day onward I have to look after myself, make my own
decisions deal with situations. Since that day I have never doubt my decision.
YES I miss home, my loved ones, my dogs, my life in SA but this "life
schooling" is the best experience you'll get.
The
best advice I can give is to GO AND EXPLORE as much as you can. I haven't even
been here for 2 months and I already had the privilege to experience Miami, Key
West, the most beautiful beach - Hollywood, the best food etc. etc. etc.
Next on my list is Orlando, then Disney World and end with a bang in the
Bahamas.
I am
fortunate enough to have met the most beautiful American friend who show's me
all the ins and outs about Florida, in exchange for some Afrikaans
tutoring.
Girls/
guys the people you meet on this trip will become your family. Appreciate them,
respect them. I have met some amazing friends that have taught me so much
about myself. You will celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year,
perhaps your birthday with them. If you feel "homesick” just know that
they're also going through the exact same feelings. Support each other. The
housing is really exclusive and based in a central area where everything you'll
need is, within walking distance from you.
