Hi guys!
Today's video is a bit different
since...
I decided to do go along with the crowd
long life to originality
and bring you with me step by step
during the realisation of this fabulous look
today I wanted to put on some make up
it happens like twice a month that I feel like putting some make up on
today was one of those days
I thought "why instead of putting make up on and then recording the video...
...I don't put on make up WHILE recording the video?"
even the dog and the pig do it, sorry eh...
I said to myself "Let's follow this cheesy trend"
and even me, I'll make my first GRWM
Here's the video, I hope you like it
Hi peeps
long time no see
sorry for my face
I hope you didn't get too scared
however, in my previous video
I asked you if you had any curiosity
about Belgium
or something you wanted to know, to type it below in the comments
considering the unstoppable comment-storm
that I received, guys
I thought to answer somebody's request
a girl, who texted me under another video
now I don't remember which video it was
in that video I mentioned the fact that
I ended up living in Antwerp by chance
it was totally unplanned
cause in the beginning I was supposed to go live in Germany
so I wanted to share with you a little bit
also to be coherent with my channel's title
cause... Ghiura's Adventures, but
where these Adventures are???
here we are guys
I take the occasion to tell you about
how I left Italy
cause, indeed, I think it is quite of an adventure
ok, as you can see
I'm veteran of a recent Herpes
whose mark is still on my lips, so...
yeah
ah, something important
this video doesn't mean to be instructive at all
since I don't know how to put on make up
I follow some tutorials here and there
I don't think I learned that much
so, don't take me as an example
this video has no purpose besides
horrifying some make up artist
who unluckily will maybe open this video one day
so, I'll apply this awesome
fabulous ... Essence
...
kinda foundation
and I start telling you
We have a problem
the mirror is too low
and I don't see s*it
no guys...
but how you do this??
YouTubers, please explain me how you do it!
ok maybe it's ok now
I was saying...
basically, I ...
the 1st October ... for who don't know it
save the date
it's basically the 5th anniversary
since I landed my ass in this country, ok?
in Antwerp, to be specific
I wanted to share my journey with you
Let's start saying that
I always liked the idea of living abroad
especially because unfortunately I
never had the possibility to travel that much outside my country
I've been almost always in Italy in my life
even if I lived in different Italian cities
but I never went too much across national borders, so...
I left Italy on august 31st, 2013. That year
basically
the situation was not being that easy, at least to me, because
I was really
I was really down
I broke up with a guy
of course!
a guy dumped me
and on top of it, even my work
wasn't going that well
btw, for who don't know it
basically I was working as drummer in a ballroom orchestra
this job, even though it gave me the chance to practice what I studied for
didn't give me the possibility to economically support myself
ok, during summer I actually had lots of shows
but during winter the situation was really poor
like I worked only in the weekends
besides this, I've been always
very indipendent by nature
I never liked the idea to live with my mom till my 40ies or so
instead, I wanted to live on my own as soon as possible
but unfortunately I couldn't afford it
I actually tried to live by myself a couple of times
but sadly I've always gone back one day to my family's house
and I was so damn tired of it
let's put on the eye-pencil
basically...
in that period, life wasn't being hostile to me only
but also to my family in general because
well, the economical crisis,
no one from my family could work
in a continuous, satisfying and profitable way
so, nothing...
at some point my mother's husband
said "why don't we go away from here? why don't we start a new life somewhere else?"
me, as I already told you, I wasn't doing that well
so, I was super happy to
get the f*ck out of there
cause my country wasn't giving me much anymore
I didn't have much bonds...
of course I had a couple of good friends, but besides that...
my life wasn't being so amazing
so I really wanted to move on
so, all together we considered
different options
"different", I mean...
in the end where you wanna go??
we said "Let's go to Germany...
because for sure in Germany there are more chances to work than in Italy"
so we spent the whole summer 2013 to prepare this trip
I mean, with my BEST FRIEND that I'm gonna greet now
ciao Max
during that summer I studied German with my Best Friend
who is bilingual German-Italian
btw the most hilarious language classes, I mean it
my parents even went there a couple of weeks during that summer
to south of Germany, in Freiburg
to check it out
to have an idea if it could actually be interesting to move there
they had a really nice impression about Freiburg
so next month we organised the last things
and in the end of august we left
with 2 cars
my Daihatsu Sirion and my mom's husband car
the cars were full of stuff
boxes, etc...
we didn't arrive on the boat,but
we arrived by land but
anyway a bit refugee-style
I was in my car with my brother
who is 7years younger than me
and in the other car there were my mom and her husband
we traveled in 2 days
we arrived in Freibug
we had booked a vacation house for a month, a little flat
because we thought to organise everything during that month
to find a permanent house
to look for a job,etc.
the first 2 weeks were gone by
and we had explored the area,
eaten at the restaurant,
and desperately looked for a house
without finding it
because... well...
different circumstances that I won't explain you but...
if you can't speak German
people look at you in a bad way
you'll never be taken in consideration
at least this was our impression
in 2 weeks we only got ONE appointment to see a house
we went there and together with us
like other 4 families AT THE SAME MOMENT
who came to see the same apartment
of course, nobody considered us that much
so... nothing.
ah btw, something really funny happened
since my mom's husband uses to dress always quite elegant
I mean, shirt, small briefcase...
he doesn't dress randomly...
and we were not dressing so bad too, I think...
well, one evening we step into the
umpteenth estate agency, to look for a house
and we notice a strange atmosphere...
I'm gonna take this color!
basically
we notice a strange atmosphere, indeed...
we go in, they tell us "have a sit"
I mean, very kind
they even offer us a glass of water
we sit at this table, in this room... with a big table
we sit there. These people talk in German
I didn't understand a word of course
so at some point I tried to explain them
why the hell we were there for
that we were looking for a house
and these people were telling us
things like "no problem" or "you are welcome"
of course I expressed myself in my English
which by that time was Way Worse than what is now
really basic English
however I told them that we were there to look for a house
and after a while we were there
one of these people sitting at the table with us
understood that we ended up there but
we had really nothing to do with the reunion
with the business meeting
that was about to start
basically we were at guest table of this meeting
about GODKNOWSWHAT
and they thought we were some business partners of the estate
someone coming from abroad
someone related somehow to this meeting
but no, we were just poor bastards looking for a place to live
so, they kindly told us that the estate was closed
and we had to get the f*ck out of there
in view of this
my parents start to say like
"we didn't do anything concrete in 2 weeks here in Freiburg...
...the time we have is running out..."
cause we had one month time and in 2 weeks we couldn't do anything
and there wasn't even any precondition
to think that we could do something
so that evening they told me...
"Let's change country"
and I was like
"WTF, we planned everything to move here"
I was honestly a bit lost
I didn't really know anymore what was happening to my life
also because I had quite lots of "Haters"
(I even made a video about it, I suggest you to watch it)
who told me that going to live abroad was a total bulls*it
that I couldn't get anything positive out of it
"What are you doing?/Where do you go?"
so at some point
I even thought to myself "Maybe they are right"
"Maybe I'm really doing something wrong, my family is just crazy"
"What's happening?"
NEVERMIND
My mom and her husband leave...
to go to Belgium!
I didn't know anything about Antwerp
I didn't even know its existence since at geography I really suck
so, thus, however...
I spent 2 weeks in this flat in Germany with my brother
without knowing what my future was going to be
because indeed my parents left with the idea to find a house
but we didn't know if they could manage to do it in 2 weeks
meaning, during the time my brother and me could stay in this apartment in Freiburg
their idea was to go to Antwerp, find a house
so we could join them later
but they only had 2 weeks time, guys
an incredible anxiety
also because they don't talk so many languages other than Italian
my mom's husband speaks a bit of English, she speaks a bit of French
but really A BIT, guys
one day, during these 2 weeks of total disorientation, that I was
in Germany with my brother and my parents were in Belgium
I receive a call from my mom
who told me "I have good news; I found an apartment
maybe, they have to confirm it"
Me, I was praying in Chinese, my brother too
the day after my mom says
"they don't give us the apartment cause instead of renting it they decided to sell it"
so... big disappointment
no news for another couple of days
till my mom calls me back saying
"I have a nice update"
but this time for real
"they changed idea again - don't know what happened exactly -
and instead of selling the apartment they gonna rent it to us"
no, you can't believe...
the joy... the joy...
let's put the face powder on as well
I was saying
that my parents found a house
so my bro and me could join them at the end of those 15 days
so we did it, we left
I swear, I drove
I mean, I drove from Italy to Belgium without gps
I mean now I panic sometimes if I have to go somewhere here in my city and I have no gps
but I should remind more often that I drove across Europe
without gps, just writing down on a paper a couple of directions
from Google Maps... this paper...
sometimes my brother would tell me where I had to turn, and that's it
I arrived till Antwerp like that
I'm not really a dumb idiot behind the wheel
I should remind it more often
so, my brother and me go inside the car
even then, full of boxes and stuff
because in the meantime
my grandma sent us other things that we shipped her before
well, a mess
btw, me and my brother before leaving had to wait for these other boxes to come
which got delivered just the day before our deparrture
just because there was already not enough anxiety in the air
I will put on this lipstick
which I tell you honestly
it didn't convince me that much
I tried it like 2 days ago
but it's a bit of a strange shade, however
well, this is the make up, kind of... finished
I was saying
my bro and I arrive in Belgium, in Antwerp
We stayed at the Hotel Columbus, to be specific
which is close to train station
we spent there 2 nights cause it was weekend and then on monday
my parents were going to sign the rent contract
it was an apartment in the Jewish neighborhood
so we were the only "not-Jew" people from the district
my parents opened a store of Italian wine
because my mom's husband is indeed a retailer of Italian wine
but on the long run
a bit because they didn't know Dutch at all
and they didn't even wanna learn it btw
well, a bit because of language difficulties
a bit because of bureaucracy which is exhausting
and a bit because, well,
it's difficult that a new business activity
brings you immediately a very high income
basically at some point my parents had enough, really
and I think after like 9 months that their shop opened
they decided to move back to Italy
me, in the meantime I found a job
as salesgirl
it ended up very bad this job
it was a nice work, I liked it
but the things didn't go that well
if u want I tell you in another video about this working experience
I stayed in Antwerp because I had this work contract
which was supposed to be a permanent one
even if in the end it wasn't like that
eventually i left that apartment of course and
and I moved into a studio on my own
nothing, this was my experience
from then of course I changed other 1000 houses
but if u want I tell you about this in another video otherwise
we talk till the day after tomorrow
so I'd say this was my adventure
really, living for days and days not knowing
without having an idea of my future
in which country I was going to live
if I would eventually go back to Italy like the haters wished me
or what...
luckily after 5 years I can say that despite different difficultuies, I survived abroad
now I'm not saying that I'll never go back to live in Italy OMG I left my country forever
cause in the end you never know in life
but for now it's fine like that by me.
