Florence, Dubai and Antalya
This is where my life began. I was 19 years old and it was my first experience abroad. It was an internship for 2 months that I had in Florence and these 2 months changed my whole life. Until then I was my whole life in Germany, living a miserable life. I had no real friends, I was bad in school, I was a wannabe rapper with zero skills and I had nothing accomplished so far. I was a pathetic looser. But then I had the chance to participate in an organized internship programm abroad in Italy and I immediately applied for it. We had the preperation in Germany and then we flew together to Florence. Starting from the first day I instantly felt the difference. I began to feel happy and fulfilled. The job that I had and my colleagues were amazing. I learned so much from them and I had so much fun during work like never before. Also outisde my job I was lucky enough to meet Twin, who is until now one of my best friend. I met him at the toilet in McDonalds, when I asked him if he had some weed to smoke. Although he didn´t speak english and I didn´t speak Italian, we managed to communicate. He invited me to a weed smoking session together with his best friend Frey and we became close friends. We hang out everyday after work and smoked weed or went out to university parties or discos. It was such an amazing time. I never felt this happy before and I realised how beautiful Italy is compared to shitty Germany. I realised that I never could stay in Germany anymore. So right when my time there finished, I applied for the next experience abroad, which brought me to Dubai.
