Do our experiences shape who we are? In a world of opportunities and challenges, I embarked on a journey that reshaped my own identity. From the quiet corners of a small village town in Moldova, I discovered a hunger for exploration that led me across continents. Born into modest beginnings, I embraced the power of dreams and the strength of resilience. I reflected on my own social, national, and cultural identity to better understand the differences among people from around the world. I invite you to join me through a tale of growth, connection, and facing the unknown that may lead you to a new discovery in the economic, social, political, and philosophical influences that profoundly impact our identity.
