More and more women are expatriating from their homeland to go to faraway places.
The step that precedes the expatriation is scary but the modern woman finds the courage to face this great challenge.
And you? Are you an expatriate? Do you know anyone who did it?
How do you imagine it to be? What are courage and fear to you?
Close your eyes and think about your fears and try to perceive the strength of courage that appears in women when they leave the country: the strength to leave loved ones, memories and the past towards a new future.
If you are an expat, go back in time: reflect on what frightened you, look at that image of you on a train or plane, as you watch your city depart towards the new destination.
Think back to the tears shed, the smiles, the emotions and feelings that, I bet, are still vivid in your mind ... You have goosebumps, right?
