Experiencing the World, by Catarina. Mainly to keep track of my experiences abroad. Saturday, December 20, 2008. Countdown to go home :). I am in countdown to go home for four weeks already :) I always liked going to Madeira but I never felt like this before… the anticipation that I will go there tomorrow, that I will open the window of my room and see the ocean is killing me! But let me tell you a bit more about Madeira Island. So for all of this, I guess you understand why I cannot wait to go home :).

Experiencing the World, by Catarina. Mainly to keep track of my experiences abroad. Sunday, March 21, 2010. Kuala Lumpur, a different perspective. Since my last post about my hosting city I got to know a few other places and a different perspective of the city life which I think is important to add. Once we got to the nearest location was very hard to discover how to get there as all locals would inform us that “It’s very very far” and that “You need to take a bus or a cab”&...Back into the "normal" city...

Experiencing the World, by Catarina. Mainly to keep track of my experiences abroad. Monday, February 8, 2010. So I'm gonna try to explain a bit better how my life is now in Malaysia because people keep asking me that. I live in a house around 6km from the city (with traffic jam is a bit hard to predict how long it takes). There is a bus that goes to city center BUT buses in Malaysia don’t have a schedule due to unpredictable traffic so is very uncertain :S. The office of the NGO I am working in (. Posted...

Experiencing the World, by Catarina. Mainly to keep track of my experiences abroad. Monday, March 1, 2010. Gong Xi Fa Cai*. Having in consideration the huge number of Chinese living in KL, of course that the Chinese New Year is given a lot of attention. Many malls are decorated, as well as, streets, restaurants, houses which make you feel a bit of the taste of being in China. My one and only Ang pow :). With popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “longevity”. During the festivities is it very commo...

Experiencing the World, by Catarina: First month, first reflections
http://experiencingtheworldbycatarina.blogspot.com/2010/03/first-month-first-reflections.html
Experiencing the World, by Catarina. Mainly to keep track of my experiences abroad. Tuesday, March 2, 2010. First month, first reflections. After a month living in Malaysia I believe I already have an "ok" understanding of the country and culture and I think I’m having a pretty intense experience trying to get as much as I can. I like my work a lot, the environment is very easy-going and people believe in what they do. That is for me the most important. I'm learning a lot about animal welfare and...IR...

Experiencing the World, by Catarina. Mainly to keep track of my experiences abroad. Thursday, September 17, 2009. 8220;It is harder to come back then to go somewhere in the first place”. My mom recently told me that since I returned from Croatia I am more anxious and impatient. I have to agree with this, not having an idea of what to do next and how to assure another peak in life brings frustration. . But I have changed. Later on I picked up the pieces, I grabbed an idea, I stayed because I wanted better...

Experiencing the World, by Catarina. Mainly to keep track of my experiences abroad. Sunday, August 30, 2009. My last month in Croatia after the conference was one of the best gifts I could offer to myself. It was just what I needed to adjust to the fact that I was returning for good to Portugal, to say goodbye and see you soon to my good friends, reflect and finish all transition with the new team. I really liked Bratislava, it's small but sweet city. It was the perfect ending for the crazy trip with Ter...
