Visiting my cousin's family in The Netherlands was my first tavel abroad. My cousin, Rowena, who got married with a dutchman, invited me to go there and stay there for three months. She needed a company for taking her children while her husband was in abroad. So that time, Ate Rowena was already near in the end stage of her third pregnacy. After I passed the Nursing Board Exam here in the Philippines, I arranged all my papers in going there. Ate Rowena sent all my papers I needed. So, She and her husband supported everything while I stayed there. I was flight last September 25, 2010,having with Schengen visa.

I was so excited. I didn't expect that opportunity to go abroad. Everything that happened to me that time was all first time to me. First time to take an airplane. First time to go abroad. Ate Rowena and her family picked up me in the Schiphol Airport on the next day I flight. When I arrived in their home, I saw a bouquet of flowers on the top of the table. I was so surprise with that and really appreciated it. Thanks to them! So that time, I started to adjust there. I adjusted to the weather, time, language, people, places ect.
