I am Jasmine, born and raised in Berlin, Germany, currently living in Canada. I moved to Canada for love four years ago and while it was a beautiful journey it also came with a lot of challenges I never thought of before.

​

Challenges like being alone, finding new friends, cultural differences and social norms were subjects I did not consider before moving. At times I just wanted to go home because everything felt so different and difficult. I got to know a part of myself I never experienced before.       I had no idea how attached I was to my home, family and friends and that being without them would affect me so much. Finding the right job for myself was a big challenge as well and dealing with a different lifestyle such as driving almost everywhere. 

​

But giving up was not an option for me and I am happy I did not give up because I learned and gained so much from this

experience.
