BRASIL: The new generation

His name is Geluwilson Dos Santos Arauzo. His "nickname" is Wilson. He is 21 years old, and live together with his mother and brother outside Natal in Brasil, Some days a week he also have the responsibility for his one-year-old son. Wilson told that he had been in school for nine years, and in the touristfield for more than four years. He started as beachboy, selling fruits and everything to the tourist. His father and brother do the same. To day Wilson is guide for everyone who wants help to exsplorer the enormous country on their own. I that case I met him. The following three days we spent together, travelling with private cars, taxies and beachbuggies along the coast from Natal and more than fifty kilometres behind Johao Pessao. The tour were filled with exploring activities, citylife and pleasent meetings with art and cultur. However: It is not my experience as tourist, but my impression of Wilson as one of the hopeful youngsters from the new generation in Brazil, I want to chare and tell you.

"I had a dream" - Wilson said first time we talk seriously together. I dreamed about education and position. But now I have a son and pay for him every week. - How do you learn your excellent english? I asked. One american client give me private lessons, he said. In three months I learn enough to speak with everyone. - And your dream to day? I replied. How will yout life be in five years? - I do not know, said Wilson, but I hope to earn enough to spend some time at school, learning administration and economi, - And so? I was still listening. - And so, continued Wilson. I hope to start my own travel agensy. Being my own boss and my own manager. - Do you think it is possible?
