How I see my life in the future?

How I see my life in the future?
When I was child, five to six years,  I dreamed with be a painter major, then when I grew up, twelve to eleven years,  I had the conviction to study some related with mathematics and then I discovered the chemistry.
Since the day I discovered the chemistry, my goal was to achieve a major on this area, and nowadays I almost have a master degree in a related area of chemistry.
I see myself in a short period of time as a student of PhD in another country, a country like Brazil, Australia, or England. My favorite country to make my PhD is Brazil, because I love their culture and they have a good University, Sao Paulo University, and the language could be easy to learn.
I don’t see myself married in a short period of time, maybe in a long  time. Even if I don’t get married I see myself with one or two children.
In a long period of time, I see myself living in Mexico, and working as a researcher for any university, at the same time I'm giving a class of polymeric materials.
I see my life working on a chemistry and materials field, having a baby and living on Mexico, not necessarily on Mexico City.
