After the incident with the expulsion from Poland came the fear that I will never again be able to visit Europe, to travel freely. Therefore, overcoming depression, I began to find ways to come back. In Austria, came only because relatively quickly found a foster family program Au-Pair. Here an important role luck played: I was given a visa despite the deportation of the European Union.
