In august 2011 I decided to move to Egypt for 2 reasons, one of them was work. But unfortunately I had to return to Europe after only 3 months there, because it didn't work out the way I planned.
So how did I take the desicion of leaving my home and my family.. Actually one of the reasons was love, but the other reason was that I was bored out of my mind, I wanted to try something new and besides that I needed time away from my family to be able to grow as a person. To become more independent and take care of myself, to build a new life and develop my own abilities to improve myself as a person.
This is how it all started... and I must say that Egypt definitely changed me. All of a sudden I became a grown up. I learned how to deal with myself, being on my own with no family or close friends around.
At the beginning I felt sad and lonely, missing my family like crazy, talking on Skype as much as possible, but after a while the phone conversations became shorter and I started meeting new people, making new friends and accepting the fact that I was on my own and crying over my family was not an option.
Everyday I tried to notice new things I liked about living in Cairo and appreciated my new home. I got new hobbies and kept myself busy with fitness and volunteering. But to be honest I would have never ever made it without the people/friends I met there.... It's very very tough to be on your own, so friends are a must.
