I already knew that they

“Home is where you feel at home and are treated well” said Dalai Lama (BrainyQuote, n.d.). Do you agree with the perception of feeling happy in anywhere that makes you feel good? Have you ever thought about it? While in our lifetime, we experience a lot of roles, regardless of their causes and effects in our life.

Good evening to everyone and thanks President Rob for giving me the opportunity to have this last presentation about my exchange year in Australia. One year has gone, and I can admit that many things happened but I couldn’t be happier about it.
