The Power of Travel and Cultural Identity

Travel has a profound impact on personal identity and cultural connection, as demonstrated by experiences shared during formative years. Relocating to various countries at a young age led to feelings of cultural disconnection for individuals from multicultural backgrounds, exposing them to new environments and social norms. These experiences often trigger mental health challenges, including anxiety and eating disorders, as individuals struggle to manage their sense of belonging and identity. Navigating these complexities can ultimately shape one's understanding of self and foster resilience.
