A chance to see a different world

Something my experience really helped me realize is the huge heterogeneity in ideas, opinions and perspectives people might identify themselves in depending on the social and historical context in which they grew up. I understood that in life it's very important to be able to resize one's own problems and to try to look at the bigger picture, contributing to the betterment of someone's situation.
This journey taught me to try to understand without judging, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to get to know myself in a completely new environment.
