The End

Bom Dia!

As you might know, I already left Brazil two months ago. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end. Time to say goodbye. But where’s the ‘good’ in goodbye? I just wish I can go back in time and live this experience again, because it was just the best time of my life. It has been an honour and a privilege to be part of this experience. Life wouldn’t be the same without Brazil and all the memories it has given me.

It was definitely worth the struggle to come here. During my time in Brazil, I visited 18 states, 12 UNESCO World Heritage sites, 2 Wonders of the World, learnt the language, tried most of the local food, and got to know the Brazilian culture. I went to the fourth best restaurant in the world, the best concert in my life, the biggest party in the world, caught my first fish, almost drowned, almost got robbed, got completely soaked in a thunderstorm, and met my Brazilian family. I met people from all of Brazil on my travels. It has been epic, and I have to say that I love Brazil. I am surprised and delighted by how many amazing places there are to visit. My experience at work was also nothing short of amazing. I taught English at a private school, and by the end, I was so attached to the students. I also started playing piano at school and composed five songs.

Thanks to all the loyal readers of this blog.

I would like to take this occasion to thank AIESEC for providing this opportunity and all the AIESECers who made it happen. You really do change lives! Special thanks to AIESEC McMaster, my home LC.

Finally, Carpe Diem, because our days are never coming back!

Sincerely,

Bader Hassan
