Soleia had always felt a restless pull towards the unknown, a quiet whisper in her heart urging her to step beyond the borders the life she knew. Born and raised in a big city, she was no stranger to the sound of the cars honking, people chatting along the streets. But as the years went by, the city began to feel smaller, it's boundaries closing in around her dreams.

For as long as she could remember, Soleia had harbored a fascination with distant lands, fueled by the stories she read and tales her grandmother shared by her ancestors who had journeyed far from their homeland. Her nights were spent poring over maps, tracing routes across the continents, imagining the vibrant cultures and new opportunities that lay beyond the horizon.

When the offer to move to a new country came, it was both exhilarating and terrifying. The decision wasn't easy––leaving behind her relatives, friends, and the familiarity of home was a daunting prospect. Yet, deep down, Soleia knew this was her chance to build a life of her own, to discover who she was in a place where no one knew her name.

With mixture of excitement and trepidation, she began to prepare for the move. She studied the language, researched the customs, and even started learning to cook local cuisine. Each small step was a way to connecting to her future life, making the unknown feel just a little foreign.

As the departure date approached, Soleia found herself standing on the brink of a new beginning, she bid her goodbyes to family, friends, and other close people she had, her heart full of anticipation for the challenges and adventures that awaited her in this new land. She knew the road wouldn't be easy, but she was ready to embrace it––because, for the first time in her life, she felt truly alive.
