Working in a shelter Working in an animal shelter has been the craziest job I have ever done. I spent my days running after 42 goats (more alliens than goats), petting 2 love-hungry cats, trying to connect with 13 rescue horses and training a semi-killer dog. In the end I can only say that this adventure has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I learned that every animal has his or her story, fears, personality, to sum up: each one is unique. They deserved the respect of being cared for with love and compasion.

My opportunities (1st part) When I was a little girl, I used to think that I was able to be whoever I want, a doctor, an actress, an astronaut... I never thought about opportunities, money, racial discrimination, lucky or immigration. In my young mind, I believed that I was the same that everyone, but soon I realized that it wasn't true. In 1999, Hugo Chavez won president's election. I remember to see that day for the first time fireworks through my parent's bedroom's window. One year later my parents separated, after what was for me the World War III. My adolescence's years happened very fast between, my parents' fights, political problems, lack of money, sex, death, violence and a crazy family. All of the sudden, one day I was sitting in front of a psychiatrist asking for help. When I recover, I needed to finish the university and found a new job because the food was less and less every day in my house. To be continued...

Solo traveller I’ve never thought how it would be to travel alone, but all of the sudden one day I woke up completely alone in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) with €800 in my pocket and one month and a half to spend.

It is strange that I didn’t feel afraid or insecure. My family and friends thought that I was crazy and I understand why. Who wants to go to another country with a different culture, language and food, where the only person who can help you is yourself. ”Who goes travels to be alone?”

But that is the thing, to be alone is an option. There are a lot of solo travellers. You always will find someone to talk, you just need to open your mind and your heart.

Although travelling alone was a challenge, it’s worth because it taught me a lot about myself and what I am able to do.

Vietnam trip Today it's my last day in Vietnam. I have been traveling around for almost two weeks. I met so many people, I learned a lot about Vietnamese culture and most importantly I learned a lot about myself too. My trip to Vietnam, started in Ho Chi Minh City, to sum a crazy city and I LOVED IT!. I went to Nha Trang a very touristic place, especially for Russians (All the sings are in Vietnamese and Russian). After 8 hours by bus, I arrived in Hoi An. I did a bicycle tour for a village, where our guide explains us a bit about Vietnamese traditions like for example, they used to build three front doors, one for women, another one for men and the one in the middle for the spirits. My last destiny was Hue ex-capital of Vietnam, famous to be the place where the Emperador used to live. The treasure of Vietnam is definitely their people. They are so friendly, they always try to help you. They make me feel at home. I fell in love with this country and I'm looking forward to coming back again.

My friend in the library I spend a lot of time in the library. In my home city, there isn’t a public library, neither places where studied or sit to read a book for free. In my point of view, there is two type of people who go to the library, those ones who purpose is studied or make a research and the other ones who like to be reading something surrounded by books and silent. Since the first time I came to this library, there was a man who caught my attention. Wearing always a black leather jacket, he takes a different book every day. I’ve found him a few times stared at me with some sight of curiosity in his eyes. I like to look at him too. Though I don’t know his name, like to imagine that we are friends. Sometimes I imagine how his life is and what he likes to do. I think he might be retired and now he wants to be poems' writer or he is a spy or serial killer who lives alone or maybe with a fat cat who always run away when he arrives at home. I’ve just three weeks left after I’m going to Spain and I will never see him again, I asked if he will remember me.
