That's why I listed some of my main difficulties in live on an organic farm in the Netherlands.
1- Eating habits are really different. A difficulty for me is the lunch because they don't eat hot food at this time, it's only a sandwich; already in Brazil that for me was one of the main refeirções. Here, only eat hot food at dinner; and this was a meal I'd prefer a lighter food in Brazil.
2- The work is heavy. This is my first job; and during college I worked more with the mind than the body, so I'm always tired and in pain in the body. But over time, it is easy to get used to the work.
3- Most days we have rain. Those who know me for some time know I don't like to leave home in morning rain, and formerly this used to be my biggest reason for not going to class; but now I'm learning to live with the same.
4- The temperature is always low. We are at the end of summer and beginning of autumn here, but for me it's already winter temperatures. In addition, this windy, which makes it look like it's even colder.
5- The language is also one of the difficulties. I'm not fluent in English, and English is not the first language here in the Netherlands. In addition, live with people who barely speak English, which makes even more communication.
6- Healthy habits. The people closest to me know, I never liked to go to the gym (I started attending this year because age comes to everyone hahahahaha) and don't dismiss a Coca-Cola and a mc donalds; but since I've been here I've been regularly biking and I only went to mc donalds once on a trip, only drank Coke once. Not that it makes a lot of missing in my day to day, but sometimes I feel like, most notably of Coca-Cola.
7- It's not easy for me to admit that I'm wrong, or change a thought that I think is correct, but here I have practiced these two things almost all the time. Here everything is very different for me and I think I'm learning to be more flexible and accept when things are not the way I want.
8- I had some resistance to trying new things, especially food; in addition to always have been very difficult person to eat (those who know me know it!). But here as many of the foods are different, it is necessary I try new things always; and for the happiness of my mother I'm eating everything and enjoying it.
