Meet Arua Tupinambas (Our Brazilian Gap Year Guru!)
A few years ago I was just a normal guy from Itaúna/MG-Brazil with an incredible desire to go abroad. I was born imagining how amazing it would be to live in a different country, learn more about their culture and live with the freedom that only five thousand miles away from your parents will give to you.
As I grew up that desire took over, and I decided to live in Ireland for one year studying English and working. 09/03/2012 – the date that changed my life! Flying over the Atlantic Ocean I felt scared, but I wouldn’t let that fear stop me from doing anything! I thought I had some English but when I got there I realized just how poor it really was – but who cares? I was ready to go and that was the most important moment of my life!!!
Living in Ireland was exactly what I was expecting, living on my own, learning so many different things every single day, meeting people from all over the world, making new friends, going out, drinking and learning. I was living the life!
I was there for five months and I was feeling at home already, but I had no interest to stay more than one year. That was when I met Jess. When I starting to go out with her, she showed me another side of living abroad, I was living the culture, doing things only Irish people do, meeting Irish people every day, I just fell in love!
That was the first time I had ever felt that way, that was when the passion for traveling around the world grew inside me!
After a couple of months back in Brazil I finally discovered what I want to do for a living. When Jess started with the blog idea, I realized just how much I wanted to pack up my things and travel the world with her, seeing wonder by wonder. But the more you travel, the more you realized, that’s just the beginning.
Similar to when I first went to Ireland, I feel scared, but I’m ready to go! This time with English, a faithful travel partner, a camera and a notebook to write down everything I see. Nothing will stop me! I’m on board now and there’s no going back!
