Sydney - The arrival I still remember the day I arrived In Sydney, Australia. I was so scared! Why is being out of our comfort zone so daunting? It is a mix of emotions such as fear, excitement, happiness, hope, and power. Realizing a dream is incredibly overwhelming, especially when it involves taking a plane and traveling for the first time. There was I going to Sydney with my purple backpack and my black sneakers. The plane was so big, and full of strangers, but I was ready and willing to face it all. I met a Brazilian woman on the plane. I do not remember her name, but I do remember she was going to Sydney to help her daughter who was having a tough and painful divorce. We had a long conversation, and she told me to be careful and not fall in love with the first handsome Aussie I meet. I guess she had a point; her little girl has had her heart broken by one of them. Life is always unpredictable and surprising. I hope she and her daughter have found happiness and have solved their issues. Before I decide to travel to Australia, I did some research and found a bubbly Brazilian who lived in Australia. He had a YouTube channel about his life in Aussie. I became addicted to it. He was so cool and happy. I wish I could have his life or at least be his best friend. Well, by the time I was finding my way out of the Sydney airport, I saw a guy giving the warmest hug I have ever seen to a lady. It was a moving scene. You know, airports are so nostalgic with people coming and going. I stared for a while and almost cried when I realized that the guy was the cool youtuber. Yes! That awesome guy! I was like, what? What do I do? Should I go there and say hi? BUT what would I have said? I did not move and I heard a sweet voice saying HELLO HELAINE!
