mi vida en Ecuador

The half of my exchange year is over, in 5 months I will be back in Germany and this year is just a memory. But not just only that, also we are in the year 2018. I am turning 18 this year.

I can't believe how much time had passed by. 162 days are over . 148 left.

Still these 162 days were the best of my life and the next are going to be better. That's a promise to myself. I am so thankful for being here, that I was given this opportunity.

What means "You can't go out without Cielo it's dangerous" and I really understand why they were saying this, i mean I don't really speak Spanish and also I just look like a Gringa (someone from the US or an other country) and everyboday is always staring at me and all the cars honk after me. But anyway in Germany my dad was more calm about that and so here I had a little bit the feeling that I am not as "free" I want to be. I mean I didn't even wanted to go out often but still just the knowlege that I always need to go with Cielo but with that I DON'T say that I don't like to go somewhere with Cielo. So to every exchange student out there who maybe...
