(2/2) "When I was 15 I lost a very young relative of mine. I always thought a lot about what happened. I came to realise that life is short and that there's nothing after it - that's what I believe, at least - so coming on an exchange year was a consequence of all that. This will of living other things has always been part of me, but now I want to make sure to make the most of everything and even like that I'll keep respecting myself, my will and my time and the things that I know." -- Why did you go on an exchange year? My mum started giving me the idea when I was 10, then my older sister went on an exchange year. It was something very natural, knowing that soon that I was going to do it made me like the idea a lot. I came mainly to get to know new stuff because in Brazil I had the feeling that I wasn't doing anything interesting and that my life was stagnated. Is your life more interesting here than in Brazil? I think so. Everything here is new to me and every day I learn more about the country I am but also a lot about myself. I might not go out that often - which was just the same in Brazil - but the discoveries I've made and that I'm still making make my days much more interesting. You've mentioned earlier that you fell in love with a friend during your stay here. Did you expect something like that to happen? We started talking a couple months before coming to France so I was already a bit interested on him, but when I arrived I had no idea that it would turn to what it is today. How do you think it's gonna be when your exchange year ends and you two take different ways? Wow, it's gonna be tough! We have a very strong friendship, but it's okay. It's not like we didn't know since the beginning that we would have to part ways later, and we can also keep in touch every now and then. Life goes on. Friendships come and go and I truly hope that we'll be able to meet again someday. Are you really this much confident? No, but I know it won't. Life is like that. Nothing lasts forever, things come and go all the time. However the ephemerality of things doesn't lower their importance. Would you say you are a sentimental person? A lot! I make a point of feeling things a lot, but sometimes I take a break and I try to be as much rational as I can. And do you think being sentimental helps or hampers your exchange year? I think it is a bit harmful. Sometimes I feel things that I wasn't supposed to be feeling. This sentimental side of mine - even though I like it - hurts me much more than it should.

Why are you here? I wanted to leave Brazil for a while and I ended up in this wonderful place. And how did you come up with the idea of leaving your country? The human need of wanting to discover new things, to open my mind and learn more about the world. My heart needed to fly over bigger airs than the one from my city. Did you have a specific reason for choosing France? Yes! Art and all of its icons. Also the 'liberty, equality and fraternity' thing. Do you believe these ideals were corresponded? That's a tough one. I'm on cloud nine when it comes to art. There are so many things, so much knowledge! And out of knowledge and art I have my freedom. What do you miss the most about your country? Brazilian food (she laughs). I think the way people are. It's impossible for me to explain through words but I truly miss the brazilian way of being. It's easier to say when I'm with another Brazilian.   What are you gonna miss the most when you get back? Honestly, I don't even wanna think about it.

(1/2) Q: Why are you on an exchange year? A: Ever since I was a child I wanted to get to know the world and I always hated the idea of staying in one single olace, so when I had the chance of leaving and getting to know a brand new culture, I did. I also thought that I’d find ‘extreme freedom’ here, but it hasn’t quite happened. Q: What did you expect for 'extreme freedom’? A: That I’d feel apart of everything, like if I hadn’t a place to call 'home’, you know? I used to think it was a prison. And back at the day that idea used to please me, but not anymore. I still want to travel the whole world, but I love the idea of having roots somewhere. Q: What is your concept of 'home’ nowadays? A: My family, the people I grew up with, whether I like them or not they are part of who I am.
