O testemunho No.2 da Nayera (SPEAK)

I’m writing this testimony while I’m already back in my city, scrolling through my gallery and

reliving all the moments I had in Portugal. At times, I felt lost, I felt nostalgic, but mostly, I felt

grateful. This experience has shaped me into a better version of myself. I got to see how I

function away from my comfort zone and in a foreign environment. I also saw how you can have

a community and a family even if you’re far from your own.

I was very, very lucky with the people I met there, my “Anjos girls.” Though we were quite

different, we managed to create our own warm space. Even our living room, from the day I

arrived until the day I left, tells a story. It changed, it evolved, and it carried a part of each one of

our personalities.

I also had a great support system in the members of the Spin team, who helped me in every

possible way. I write this with a heart full of love and gratitude for one hell of a year, one I will

always remember, and with a longing for this wonderful city.
