The Journey is the destination

After 2 years and a half living in Poland the time to say good bye has come.

I will be working in Mexico and most probably living in California, United States.

In this kind of moments plenty of mixed emotions come up.

I arrived to Poland (where I was supposed to have only a five months experience) without bigger expectations than travelling alone and having the challenge to live in a country that was almost totally unknown to me.

But several months passed, and after this time living here I have in my baggage such amount of awesome stories, experiences, feelings that is just impossible to point them out.  

However, I can say that I suddenly found myself being in an amazing country, with a really interesting culture and plenty of great people, some of them already considered my friends, and that word or “category” is such a big thing to me; not always easy to find.

I can undoubtedly say that Poland is already my “Second home”, especially Warsaw, where I will always come back.

But this is not a pity; pity would be moving out from one country without having any particular feeling, and this is not the case.  
Nevertheless, I feel that I am not leaving behind anything; every experience, every conversation, every friendship… now they are part of me, and somehow they are contributors of this Facundo Gambini, this person that is being built every single day, but having the hope (and the certain knowledge from my expat Argentinian experience) that distances do not necessary mark a final point, many times they are just a comma.

Through years pass by I realize that the most difficult thing in life is not getting what you want, but discover what you want; I guess that life is somehow this kind of never ending searching, and I’m sure in every place there is a huge learning waiting for us to be discovered, a new and bigger challenge to be faced, and finally a next step to be taken.

I strongly believe that we need to search, follow and live any situation that make us feel a bit nervous, excited, AWAKE, cause it means that we are leaving our comfort zone, and exactly in that undiscovered place is where we develop ourselves through being challenged; this way I want to live my life, and this way I feel right now.

As I always say, change is the only permanent thing in life; I will keep on moving, eager to know what's next… in the end life is not a final destination to reach, but an unpredictable and surprising journey, isn’t it?
