to lose one's way
потеряться (poteryatsya)
"We got lost in the small streets of Venice."
"Мы потерялись в маленьких улочках Венеции." (My **poteryalis'** v malen'kikh uloch'kakh Venezii.)
to socialize and talk with different people
to express all your feelings openly and honestly
to try to achieve more than what seems possible; to go furth...
to face difficult situations with courage and effort
to appear or grow quickly like plants
to regain control of one's emotions; to recover composure
