How often have you met people like this ? With whom you would think easily that they are just about living life like a party - with long nights but elusive days. Those people we call party go-ers or too independent. When really what lies underneath is a thick layer of personality but most of all sensitivity. After having spent 2 months as her roommate in a hostel, friend and contextual sister, it was clear to me that when you put aside origin for context and take the time to not judge but appreciate - there are many things in people that are burning within them but that we don´t always see. If Matilde (from Italy) was able to lead groups of 15 strangers at night through the streets of Madrid - it was because she was born a leader - one that burns from within rather than from without. And what people most likely followed was exactly that. A soul set on fire with wills and desires. And as we hugged and cried at her departure - despite knowing each other for only two months - you realise that goodbyes hurt because we had decided to live it all to the core. And that is why it mattered.

No other region of the world move toward the fame of Europe as a travel destination. Even for its residents, the educational density and variety of this continent offers virtually infinite opportunities for exploration and discovery.
