The same airport, the same journey. But it didn't occur to me that the feeling between comes and goes are so different. In those moments did I drop my tears there were two kinds of different thoughts were in my feelings. The excitement and anxiety before the journey are as well lovely and hateful, the sadness became stronger and stronger while leaving Bucaramanga. During the travel on the airplane, I can't bear any more time on the air. Every hour on the sky and on the airport felt like it's one day long.

Trace back to three months ago, I was just a normal and ignorant university student. While a month before summer vacation, I acknowledge about the AIESEC Global Community Develop Program. In that moment I decided I will have a special and unique summer vacation. Finally I matched to the country which is 16,000KM far from Taiwan and located in the South America--Colombia. I never thought that I would be in that kind of country which I used to think there are drugs and gun fights all over the nation. But in a matter of fact, I didn't see any of the negative aspect of Colombia. In

stead of it, I saw the beauty and passionate of their heart. In Colombia, they don't have the race discrimination and the stereo type. And they not only have high curiosity about Asian people but also super friendly with me as well.

I did encounter the culture shock in the first week being in Colombia, there are really different from Taiwan. For instance, the first day in my host family I was surprised by their lavatory. There aren't any hot water during taking a shower and no desks or tables in their house. I thought it's only for temporary residence, but the truth is that I have lived there for around ten weeks. Although the water for taking a

shower is cold, the heat from my host sister is warm enough for me and it felt like the love for family. Only after the experience in Colombia that I realized we have really a good life in Taiwan. I become more simple than before, and I learn how to cherish what I owned. In Latin America I can feel free, and do everything I want. Go singing, dancing, partying and drinking, I had such a joyful time in Bucaramanga city. But time is always cruel, it brings me back to the reality after the program is over. What now? The urgent thing I want to do is to share my fulfilled heart of Latin spirit with all my family and my friends.

As my project in Colombia is to teach English for young people in the World Vision. I thought the English education in Colombia is popular, but the fact is that only five percent of people can speak in English. In these eight weeks I have learned lot, and I taught many things for my students,too. I saw how they made in progress, they have learned from the basic alphabet to English grammar. Later I realized that I the major goal for me is not only for teaching English but also offer an opportunity. The opportunity to speak in English, to meet with Asian people and to know about other countries and cultures. I want to give them a vision, a vision to learn one

language. And I told them to use this ability in the future for knowing the world to get familiar with other cultures. I taught them the idea about how to broaden the vision and explore the world by learning the second language.

Of course the GCDP is not only the volunteering work but also experiencing the beauty of another country. In these ten weeks, I have visited many beautiful spot in Colombia and tried new extreme sports in the mountains and rivers. For example, I went for cave exploring, paragliding, and rafting. I told myself "it's now or never", if I didn't hold this opportunity to do those things I would never have those great memories forever. Especially the experience during the paragliding for me is super awesome, I would be regret about it if I didn't fly throughout the sky. The bird view on the blue sky is

magnificent, I can see all Bucaramanga city. All buildings and people became so small, I finally realized how tiny we human being are. It felt

like while I was in the air, I can hear the voice from the universe. Now I have more open mind and courageous that one needs. The environment changes one person, I would never do those dangerous activities in Taiwan. But my friends told my that you did take a travel for such far distances, why not try it out? So, I was persuaded. And I am very glad I have made the choices.

Besides the exotic and extraordinary experiences in Colombia,I knew one group of special friends. Their passion, kindness, and good heart motivated me deeply within these two months. Even they were busy for school and their work, they still devoted to the English conversational club with me and took me the know more about Bucaramanga city. I think everyone in here has love in their heart, the generous heart. For me it's a little difficult to imagine they could have gave their love to a traveler form a far far away country. Are there any poverty in Colombia? I don't think so, in their heart they are rich than any one around the world. Because they know how to cherish what they got and they know how to stay happy. I always told them that I want to be a Latin Taiwanese! The stories that I had in Colombia are always full of joy, and the experiences during these two months is-- priceless.

In this journey I see the world, well part of the world. My vision now is not only restricted to the island of Taiwan but the whole world. Meanwhile I spread or name or nation to the world. I am proud of myself to do diplomatic connection in another country. Every-time when I was answering "I am from Taiwan." I spoke with pride. I never felt embarrassed and under-pressured using our national flag in Colombia. I took our flag to each corner in Bucaramanga to show them the flag with blue sky, light sun and

the passion of our people. Even I am alone in South America, but being a representative of twenty three million people. I had my mission, I wanted to do the deepest culture interaction by doing it myself. Let my friends out there will remember me forever and where I was from. And I hope there would be someday, I could go back the beautiful land of Colombia. And there could have the chances that they can visit Taiwan, seeing how is the life in this beautiful island. To here, it somehow felt sad for leaving my friends and what I love. But we can't force what destining let us go, if we can we will meet again. I will always pray for that. And now the memories are left only the pictures and videos, but those memories just like one brand on my mind forever.

If you finish this article word by word, if you can feel the same thing that I did or if you want to change about yourself. Please do not hesitate, get rid of all the excuses and burdens. Just go with brave, release the wild side of you, and try any of the possibilities. Try to resolve all the obstacle that in front of you and makes it to help you during your travel.

I regret that I started my first step only when I am nineteen years old. But I know it's never too late to have the adventure. So, my dear friends. Shoulder your luggage, no matter how difficult is the road will be, how hard will the travel will be. Please face it with a humble heart. There is one saying that" If you really want to do something, the whole world will help you to accomplish it" Go for it! Go for challenging yourself!
