“I don’t consider myself a migrant. Vienna feels like the right place. Last year on my birthday I really felt like this is home for me. I was surrounded by amazing people and I had this realization that I managed to build a whole life for myself here, in a short time. I started from zero. I love especially those moments when you understand that the people around you really care about you, even if you don’t spend time with them every day. They are here for you and they care for you no matter what.”
