Final comments
This was a great experience. I'd like to quote the following to let you understand what was for me this year: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw of the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.".

This experience was great because I've better learnt two of the most important languages of the entire world. I was excited by the possibility of studying in English while I was learning Spanish thanks to the everyday life.
