Not a gap year

Some people speak about a gap year if they hear what I do here in Latvia. I don't. Because its just a different way of growing and making the next step. My way.

This is not a gap year. First of all, because I'm only here for half a year.  

Furthermore, there are some deeper reasons to significate it in a different way. In my way. Because it's my way.  

So far, the experience I make here in Latvia is incredible. It’s open minding and networking with people from all over the world. It let me lives on my own in a foreign country with a new language and new challenges. All of those facts make this time to a challenge I go through and learn a lot. Summarized I grow in my own personality and besides that, learn new skills which expand my own profile.  

All in all, this chapter is a next step. A next step after my graduation and the start into life. For some people it’s a gap year because only studying would be a logical step to climb in your biography. For me this time is part and my way of educating myself.  

It’s just a different way.
