Going abroad had been a dream of mine for a long time: living a completely different lifestyle, exploring new experiences, getting used to other cultures and customs, learning a foreign language… In mid-2016, I decided to include it to my wish list with a purpose: studying abroad, which since my graduation had been a dream. I set as a goal to pursue a master’s degree related to economics and consumer behaviour, planning to start in 2020, two years after my wedding.

Nonetheless, life flows freely and we have no total control over it. At the end of 2017, a great opportunity arose before planned: my husband received a job offer to work in a city that had exactly the master’s degree subject I was looking for. We got married in Brazil on April 14, 2018, according to our original schedule, and flew to Munich, Germany, four days after the wedding ceremony, arriving there on April 19, 2018.
