Hello there! I'm Mina, nice to meet you. I've been living in this lovely city for about five years now, working as a freelance journalist and writer. Before that, I lived all over the world with my family - we were always on the move due to my father's job. He was an engineer and used to work for various international organizations.

Growing up, I had the opportunity to experience different cultures, but it also made me feel like I didn't quite fit in anywhere. People would ask me where I'm from, and I'd struggle to answer because it felt like "nowhere" since I never stayed long enough to really call any place home. That's why I love living here now - the people are so open-minded and accepting of others' backgrounds.

I've always been drawn to storytelling, whether through writing or photography. There's something about capturing a moment in time that speaks volumes without needing words. I'm working on a book project right now, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and what it means to be human.

What brings you here today? What's your story?
