Here is Gabriel Costa and I am an international student from Brazil at IECP at Penn State University.
I came to State College to do an exchange program of my country called Brazil Scientific Mobility Program. I'll be living here until December 2014 and it's a great opportunity to meet each one of you.
I am enjoying a lot the life here at Penn State and I usually study and make exercises during the week and go out and hang out with my friends at the weekends.
I arrived here last August and I traveled already to Niagara's Fall NY, Washington DC, Miami FL, Altoona PA, and Pittsburg PA. All these different cities were amazing.
The best place that I visited was Miami FL. I went there during the Thanksgiving Break and the City is really crazy, funny and EXPENSIVE. I have been there in a very famous hostel called International hostel. There had people of at least 10 nationalities, and it was really amazing and new to me.
The last travel was really good too. I went to Washington with really good friends and we had a lot of fun there. The photo at the top of this topic was there in a pub close to the Georgetown University. The place is an Irish Pub and it was different because the students and the lifestyle there is completely different than State College.
One funniest thing about these both travel (Miami and Washington) was when we yelled "WE ARE" at the same time peoples around answered "PENN STATE". And after we introduced ourselves and for our surprise all these peoples were students here.
I am very proud in be part of this crew of lions!
I see you at the next post!
