Dacă stăteam acasă, mă întrebam cum ar fi fost să fiu aici. [EN] While we were drinking cups of tea, Teodora told me about the moment when she moved to London, a moment of a nightmare because she had to start all over again, in a new country. Now (after three years) she has just finished her studies in journalism and she's happy with her London-life. (@teodora_agarici) [RO] La mai multe cești de ceai, Teodora mi-a povestit despre momentul de coșmar când a ajuns în Londra și a trebuit s-o ia de la capăt. Acum, după trei ani, tocmai și-a terminat studiile în Jurnalism și este fericita cu viața ei londoneză. (@teodora_agarici) —

If I had stayed home, I would have remained in my comfort zone. [EN] Nicoleta, 22 years old, came to London to study Tourism Management and she said that it is very hard to live far away from home. `Everything is expensive here and everyday I have to carry the pressure of my rent payment, which is very high’, she said. ‘Few years ago I had a negative experience by moving to another country with my family and I was sure I will never repeat that mistake. In 2015 I got back home after three days of school, in Spain, and I couldn’t imagine myself as an immigrant even if more than a half of my family lives abroad. Finishing my undergraduate studies in Romania was like a challenge for me: will I start to search for a job on a saturated market? is there any chance for me? This was the reason that made me take into consideration to study abroad. Now I am studying in an international environment, with many points of view, in a cosmopolitan city. Even I don’t really enjoy the burdens that this city brings to me, I am thankful for this scenario of my life and I hope I can achieve the best for when I will get back home someday with a fresh attitude and trying to fix the things that are going wrong in Romania’, Nicoleta told me.
