Learnings from Brazil

Besides the whole “activity agenda” (family catch up, wedding, meeting a few friends, etc), my trip to Brazil involved more emotion that I expected. I thought I would go there, have a good moment and come back to my Australian new world… but it wasn’t exactly like that.

Being in Brazil made me think about a bunch of stuff:

- Values: I really appreciate “countryside” values – friendship, simplicity, commitment, this type of thing;

- People: I think I’d like to participate more of the live of people who love me, especially the ones that know me for a longer time…

- Culture: Brazilian spirit, optimism, openness and entrepreneurialism are really unique. I really think Oriana and I should go further with the Latin American project;

- Work: I do miss a profound meaning in my work right now and I’m definitely putting this in the top of the next decision I’m going to take;

- Life in Australia: it’s really going great, but I should not feel too comfortable about it and remember where I came from and what I’m supposed to do, in terms of contribution.

Reflections go on…

This is really lovely Gabi.

I want to chat about such stuff at Starbucks Town Hall, but I shall have to postpone this till March :)

I agree with you on the 'countryside' values bit...
and its really cool to see you can so easily observe all the wonderful things that make your country unique.

Love Lucy
