Summer plans?

I came back from China in the end of April and after spending 2 weeks in Amsterdam working for GRI and seeing some old friends, I arrived in Aarhus focused in finishing the semester and figuring out my summer plans... my original plans of staying in Aarhus working on a cool marketing project got canceled and I got a bit confused in the middle of a thousand ideas and no concrete decisions. Anxiety and impatience are not good companions for those moments, I must confess.

Cutting the crap (I guess no one wants to read about my inner conversations with myself over the last month), some good things came out and some more traveling is taking place!!

I'm taking part in a summer leadership/meditation retreat facilitated by John Milton (www.sacredpassage.com) in the mountains in Sweden, camping for one week, spending 3 days on a solo-trip where the sun never sets! I'm really looking forward for this experience and to prepare myself this this journey I decided to hitchhike all the way from Aarhus to Valadalen Natural Reserve, near Aare, a 1,500km road trip! I will have the company of my beautiful Danish friend Louise so I think we won't have problems to get rides! ;-)

After Sweden, I'll be in Copenhagen for a couple of days before heading to Brazil, where I will work on a project for the 2 months (from mid-July until early September). I'll be based in Sao Paulo and I'm looking forward to meet old friends, meet new people and start planning some cool future projects!! I'll be at the AIESEC Alumni Congress, for sure!!!! (I didn't imagine that happening...)


I'll blog more on the hitchhiking trip when possible, and share some thoughts from the camping retreat...

Looking forward to catch up at the alumni congress. The last time I saw you was so brief (heheh still remember wondering in Banco Real "who's that guy over there with Marcio?!" before I recognized you :)))

I finally got the visa and will be back in Brazil shortly.
